And just like Abraham, every Christian who is a guest in this land journeys throughout his life towards God in ‘Heavenly Jerusalem’. The tradition of going on pilgrimages is part of a European cultural heritage inseparably connected with the Christian religion and particular holy places: Jerusalem, Rome, and Santiago de Compostela, where the relics of St James the Greater are worshipped. The Way of St James began almost two thousand years ago on the banks of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Tiberias). As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people’. At once they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. (Matthew 4:18‒22) Mortal St James The painting in Basilica in Pelplin 2 The path of James the Apostle with Jesus began at that point.

  • The Royal Blood. Polish Descendants of Sigismund I the Old and Katarzyna Telniczanka in the Old Polish Times
    Retrieved from https://czasopisma.uni.lodz.pl/pnh [10.08.2021] REVIEW OF HISTORICAL SCIENCES 2018, VOL. XVII, NO. 3 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1644-857X.17.03.02 zBigniew anUSik UniverSity of loDz* The royal blood. Polish descendants of Sigismund I the Old and Katarzyna Telniczanka in the old Polish times Summary. The research undertaken by the Author concentrates on Polish descendants of Regina, the elder of two daughters of King Sigismund I the Old and his long time mistress – Katarzyna Telniczanka. Until now, it was assumed that the last descendants of the king were his great-grandsons – Władysław Strasz of Białaczów and his sister Krystyna who lived in the first half of the 17th century. Thanks to the documents found by the Author, it was possible to establish that the mother of the above-mentioned Władysław and Krystyna – Urszula Strasz née Kreza, had a sister – Zofia, who married Baltazar Lutomirski. From her daughter, Zofia née Lutomirska 1st married Stanisław Trembiński (Trębiński), 2nd married Franciszek Szamowski, come all descendants of Sigismund I the Old and Katarzyna Telniczanka, both historical and living ones. The article presents a list of all the king’s descendants from the beginning of the 16th to the turn of the 18th and 19th century. In total, it was a number of 114 people (58 men and 56 women). It is worth noting that until the end of the first quarter of the 17th century, the descendants of Sigismund I and KatarzynaPNH Telniczanka were Calvinists. They were almost exclusively representatives of wealthy and middle-class nobles.

  • Acta 119-Druga Korekta.Indd
    Acta Poloniae Historica 119, 2019 PL ISSN 0001–6829 Marek Słoń Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences THE ORIGINS OF KAZIMIERZ (OUTSIDE CRACOW) TRACED IN SANDOMIERZ Abstract The 1335 foundation (chartering) of Kazimierz, the town situated beside Cracow, was a diffi cult venture as a group of settlers had to be brought from another strong urban centre. Owing to the memory of the rebellion led by alderman (vogt) Albert and due to the political situation, Casimir III the Great most probably sought assistance from the town of Sandomierz in an attempt to fi nd an optimum solution. This supposition is confi rmed by the fact that the king favoured the town after 1335 and, even more importantly, that the foundation charter and one of the fi rst documents for the new commune were issued at Sandomierz. A close relationship between Sandomierz and Kazimierz is observable for the subsequent years. Keywords: Kazimierz (outside Cracow), Sandomierz, Cracow, foundation of town, Middle Ages The foundation of the town of Kazimierz in 1335, near Cracow, was an extraordinary venture. In the lands subject to the rule of King Casimir III the Great (Kazimierz III Wielki) only once had a new commune situated beside another, existing one, been chartered before then – in a quite peculiar situation, in fact. In Poznań 1288, Duke Przemysł II allowed the local bishop to restore the urban status to Śródka – a set- tlement that initially was chartered as a ducal unit and subsequently was removed to the other bank of the Warta River. The undertaking yielded no spectacular effect, though.

  • Dominika Burdzy SANDOMIERZ AS the CENTRE of the VITICULTURE from the MIDDLE AGES UNTIL the MID-SEVENTEENTH CENTURY
    ALMANACH HISTORYCZNY, KIELCE 2016, T. 18 Dominika Burdzy Kielce SANDOMIERZ AS THE CENTRE OF THE VITICULTURE FROM THE MIDDLE AGES UNTIL THE MID-SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Stanisław Sarnicki, who praised the richness of the noblest fruits in the gardens of Sandomierz, also noted that “vineyards are cultivated here (vineae istic coluntur)”1. For the sixteenth-century writer the vineyards were a landmark of the city where the centuries-old tradition, dating back to the twelfth century, allowed for the high level of development of this branch of agriculture2. Among the crucial factors were the favorable weather conditions and the introduction of terraces for grapevine culti- vation. Also, the growing demand for wine for liturgical purposes and consumption encouraged the establishment of vineyards in the Middle Ages. In Poland, the tradition of grapevine cultivation and production of wine was de- veloped mainly by religious orders. The same must have applied to Sandomierz since the earliest sources mention two vineyards which belonged to the Dominican 1 S.

  • Exploitation of the Vistula River from Earliest Times to the Outbreak of World War II
    T. M. Duchnowski | Acta Energetica 2/15 (2013) | 24–31 Exploitation of the Vistula River from earliest times to the outbreak of World War II Author Tomasz Marcin Duchnowski Keywords trade of cereals, Saint Barbara, raftsmen, Vistulian fortresses, Przekop of the Vistula Channel Abstract Since the earliest times, the Vistula River has been an artery used for movement of people, commodities and cultures. The settlement network that began to develop along it constituted the foundation of the emerging Polish state in the Early Middle Ages. In the 13th century, the Teutonic Knights appeared downriver. After the outbreak of Prussia and Gdańsk Pomerania, they formed a state with a powerful economy and army. During their reign along the Vistula River (Wisła), many castles and fortified towns guarding its particular sections were erected. After the end of the Thirteen Years’ War (1466), almost the whole river with its tributaries was incorporated within the limits of Poland or countries recognising its authority. From the middle of the 16th century to the mid-17th century, the Vistula River performed the role of the main Polish trade route for many products sent to Western European countries through Gdańsk. The city was then experiencing the apogee of its magnificence. Cereals were the most important commodity back then. The gentry – the producers – and many towns intermediating in trade were growing rich thanks to the good economic situation. Then, the rich folklore of raftsmen immortalised by poets and pictured by painters came into being. In the 18th century, changes in agriculture in Western European countries and increasing competition caused depression in the export of Polish cereals.

  • Zbigniew Anusik, the Royal Blood. Polish Descendants of Sigismund I
    REVIEW OF HISTORICAL SCIENCES 2018, VOL. XVII, NO. 3 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1644-857X.17.03.02 zBigniew anUSik UniverSity of loDz* The royal blood. Polish descendants of Sigismund I the Old and Katarzyna Telniczanka in the old Polish times Summary. The research undertaken by the Author concentrates on Polish descendants of Regina, the elder of two daughters of King Sigismund I the Old and his long time mistress – Katarzyna Telniczanka. Until now, it was assumed that the last descendants of the king were his great-grandsons – Władysław Strasz of Białaczów and his sister Krystyna who lived in the first half of the 17th century. Thanks to the documents found by the Author, it was possible to establish that the mother of the above-mentioned Władysław and Krystyna – Urszula Strasz née Kreza, had a sister – Zofia, who marriedBaltazar Lutomirski. From her daughter, Zofia née Lutomirska 1st married Stanisław Trembiński (Trębiński), 2nd married Franciszek Szamowski, come all descendants of Sigismund I the Old and Katarzyna Telniczanka, both historical and living ones. The article presents a list of all the king’s descendants from the beginning of the 16th to the turn of the 18th and 19th century. In total, it was a number of 114 people (58 men and 56 women). It is worth noting that until the end of the first quarter of the 17th century, the descendants of Sigismund I and Katarzyna Telniczanka were Calvinists. They were almost exclusively representatives of wealthy and middle-class nobles. There were no senators among them and only a few were land officers.

  • Dissertation Summary “Defensive and Residential Buildings of Wenceslaus
    Dissertation summary “Defensive and residential buildings of Wenceslaus II (1291-1305) in Lesser Poland in the context of the Polish lands. Archaeological and historical study.” PhD dissertation prepared in the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Rzeszów, under the supervision of prof. dr hab. Zbigniew Pianowski, dr hab. Andrzej Rozwałka, prof. UR and the assistant supervisor dr Leszek Poniewoźnik There are several unexplored research gaps in Polish castellology (i.e a historical discipline for those who study castles and, more broadly, defensive and residential buildings of the Middle Ages) which have not yet been covered in monographs. Until recently, one of them was the subject of defensive-residential constructions of Wenceslaus II and his supporters (especially Jan Muskata, the Bishop of Cracow) on the Polish lands in the period of the so- called Bohemian episode. Such issues are the subject of the present doctoral dissertation entitled: Defensive and residential buildings of Wenceslaus II (1291-1305) in Lesser Poland in the context of the Polish lands. Archaeological and historical study. The aim of the dissertation was to collect, systematize and summarize information on the construction activities of Wenceslaus II in the field of defensive architecture in Lesser Poland between 1291 and 1305. The importance of this issue has been repeatedly pointed out by scholars involved in the study of defensive and residential construction in the Middle Ages. Among the more specific objectives, one should mention the issue of castle constructions under the tutelage of Jan Muskata, Bishop of Cracow in 1294-1320, who also held the office of Starosta of Lesser Poland and was Wenceslaus II's greatest supporter during his reign in Cracow.
