The Ruthenian (Volhynian) Metrica: Polish Crown Chancery Records for Ukrainian Lands, 1569-1673* PATRICIA KENNEDY GRIMSTED Within the Crown chancery of the Kingdom of Poland after the Union of Lublin in 1569, a separate group of record books was kept with copies of Crown documents addressed to the palatinates of Volhynia, Bratslav, and Kiev, newly annexed from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.1 These docu- ments are of prime importance for the study of the Polish administration of these areas and of their economic and social development. The subsequent fate and archival disposition of these little-known records, however, has been shrouded in confusion. As a result, their natural order and the cir- cumstances of their creation has been poorly understood. The preparation of this article would have been impossible without the unusual opportuni- ties I had to conduct research simultaneously in both the USSR and Poland during several visits under the auspices of the academic exchange programs operated by the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX). This study is based on materials held in the Central State Archive of Early Acts (TsentraV nyi gosudarstvennyi arkhiv drevnykh aktov—hereafter TsGADA) in Moscow and in the Main Archive of Early Acts in Warsaw (Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych w Warszawie—hereafter AGAD), and I am indebted to the staff of both these institutions. I also appreciate the advice of Irena Sulkowska-Kurasiowa of the Institute of His- tory (PAN) in Warsaw, of A. L. Khoroshkevich of the Institute of History of the USSR of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Moscow, of H. V. Boriak and N. N. Iakovenko of the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR in Kiev, and of la. R. Dashkevych in Lviv. This article has been significantly revised from a shorter version that appeared in Ukrains'kyi istorychnyi zhurnal, 1989, no. 5. A longer version of this study is scheduled for publication in Kiev as the introduction to an edition of early inventories of the Ruthenian Metrica: Rus'ka (Volynska) metryka: Regesty ukrains'kykh aktiv koronnoi kantse- liarii 1569-1673 rr., sponsored by the Archeographic Commission of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (Kiev, forthcoming, 1992). 1 In the act of annexation (27 May 1569), the so-called land of Volhynia included the pala- tinates of Volhynia and Bratslav; the text of the act is printed in Akta unii Polski z Litwą 1385- 1791, ed. Stanisław Kutrzeba and Władysław Semkowicz (Cracow, 1932), pp. 301-308 (no. 136). The act of annexation for the palatinate of Kiev, signed on 6 June 1569, is printed in ibid., pp. 309-319 (no. 138). Kiev had already been organized as a separate palatinate under the Grand Duchy in 1471. The palatinates of Volhynia and Bratslav date from 1566. After 1569 they were reestablished as separate palatinates under the Crown. 8 PATRICIA KENNEDY GRMSTED Although the king of Poland and the grand duke of Lithuania were usu- ally one and the same person, there were always separate chanceries for the Crown and the Grand Duchy; hence, their record books were always main- tained separately, a practice formalized by the Union of Lublin. From at least the mid-fifteenth century, there were systematic chancery record books in which were inscribed complete official copies of all outgoing documents issued by the chancery, including legal decrees from the apéllate courts of the Sejm that were presided over by the chancellor and vice-chancellor. Thus there are parallel groups of chancery records, known respectively as the Lithuanian Metrica (Polish, Metryka Litewska; Latin, Acta [Metrica] Magni Ducatus Lithuaniaé) and the Crown Metrica (Polish, Metryka Korona; Latin, Metrica Regni Poloniae). As practices developed in both chanceries during the sixteenth century, separate books were kept for both the chancellor and the vice-chancellor who served the Grand Duchy or the Crown.2 Further differentiation within each métrica complex was made between books of inscriptions and privileges and books of legal decrees, and there were several other specialized series.3 In both Crown and Lithuanian chanceries, inscriptions in official métrica record books were usually made in the language in which the documents were issued. In the Crown chancery during the fifteenth and sixteenth cen- turies, Latin was the principle chancery language for both administrative and judicial functions. Crown chancery documents pertaining to the western Ukrainian lands of Old Rus'—namely,

  • From the History of Polish-Austrian Diplomacy in the 1970S
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI I, 2017 AGNIESZKA KISZTELIŃSKA-WĘGRZYŃSKA Łódź FROM THE HISTORY OF POLISH-AUSTRIAN DIPLOMACY IN THE 1970S. AUSTRIAN CHANCELLOR BRUNO KREISKY’S VISITS TO POLAND Polish-Austrian relations after World War II developed in an atmosphere of mutu- al interest and restrained political support. During the Cold War, the Polish People’s Republic and the Republic of Austria were on the opposite sides of the Iron Curtain; however, after 1945 both countries sought mutual recognition and trade cooperation. For more than 10 years following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Austria and Poland, there had been no meetings at the highest level.1 The first con- tact took place when the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Kreisky, came on a visit to Warsaw on 1-3 March 1960.2 Later on, Kreisky visited Poland four times as Chancellor of Austria: in June 1973, in late January/early February 1975, in Sep- tember 1976, and in November 1979. While discussing the significance of those five visits, it is worth reflecting on the role of Austria in the diplomatic activity of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The views on the motives of the Austrian politician’s actions and on Austria’s foreign policy towards Poland come from the MFA archives from 1972-1980. The time period covered in this study matches the schedule of the Chancellor’s visits. The activity of the Polish diplomacy in the Communist period (1945-1989) has been addressed as a research topic in several publications on Polish history. How- ever, as Andrzej Paczkowski says in the sixth volume of Historia dyplomacji polskiej (A history of Polish diplomacy), research on this topic is still in its infancy.3 A wide range of source materials that need to be thoroughly reviewed offer a number of 1 Stosunki dyplomatyczne Polski, Informator, vol.

  • The Role of Charitable Activity in the Formation of Vilnius Society in the 14Th to Mid-16Th Centuries S.C
    LITHUANIAN historical STUDIES 17 2012 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 39–69 THE ROLE OF CHARITABLE ACTIVITY IN THE FORMATION OF VILNIUS SOCIETY IN THE 14TH TO MID-16TH CENTURIES S.C. Rowell ABSTRACT This article examines the development of charitable activity in the city of Vilnius and elsewhere in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before the middle of the sixteenth century by studying the foundation of almshouses to care for the poor and destitute and foster the memory and salvation of pious benefactors. Almshouse foundations developed from increasing forms of practical piety within the GDL from the late fifteenth century, following earlier west European and Polish models. The first, dedicated to traditional patrons of such institutions, St Job and St Mary Magdalene, was founded by a Vilnius canon and medical doctor, Martin of Duszniki with the support of the monarch, Sigismund the Old, and his counsellors between 1518 and 1522. The almshouse swiftly became an established part of the city’s sacral topography. The fashion was adopted by Eastern Orthodox parishes in Vilnius too, and later spread to other confessional groups. Twelve charters are published for the first time in an appendix. Christian charity in public spaces flourished throughout Catholic Europe during the 13th to 15th centuries 1. Indeed, the first chari- table intitutions for the poor are known in England from the tenth century. It behoved the bishop elect on taking his oath of office to protect the poor and the sick 2. Providing lodging and food for the deserving poor over time became the function of almshouses, hospitalia.

  • I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE the Manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and His Book Collection Have Not Been Deprived of the Attention of Polish Scholaraship
    ORGANON 26-27:1997-1998 AUTEURS ET PROBLEMES Tomasz Strzembosz (Poland) JAN STRZEMBOSZ (1545-1606) HIS MANUSCRIPT AND COLLECTION OF BOOKS I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and his book collection have not been deprived of the attention of Polish scholaraship. The manuscript has been studied by Witold Rubczynski (1922), who, as Aleksander Birken- majer observed, "knew very little about its author". In fact his knowledge was "less than very little". The book collection has received the scholarly regard of many others, writing at diverse times. But none of it has amounted to more than just brief notes, not providing much information about the library collection and its history, and next to none about its original owner. Today, in an age marked by a heightened interest in the Renaissance, Strzem­ bosz’ valuable bibliophile bequest is a worthy subject for academic attention, while the life and achievements of the enlightened and public-spirited col­ lector who endowed us with it merit a few moments of notice. A compilation of the facts published earlier and more recently with the material preserved in the archives and collected still before the Second World War, which has fortunately managed to survive that War, will help to give us a fuller picture of the figure of Jan Strzembosz. In 1538 at Opoczno (now Central Poland), on a date recorded as "f. 5 post Conductum Paschae" the Strzembosz brothers, Mikołaj, the Reverend Andrzej, Derstaw, and Ambroży, sons of Jan Strzembosz of Jablonica and Wieniawa, and later of Dunajewice and Skrzyńsko, Justice of the Borough of Radom1, and Owka (Eufemia), daughter of Dersław Dunin of Smogorze- wo, Lord Crown Treasurer, and Małgorzata of Przysucha, concluded an act for the distribution of the patrimonial and maternal property left to them.

  • Polski-Prezentacja-Jan-Zamoyski.Pdf
    Jan Zamoyski Dzieciostwo i młodośd Jan Sariusz Zamoyski urodził się 19 marca 1542 roku w Skokówce. Był synem Stanisława Zamoyskiego i Anny Herburt-Zamoyskiej. Uczył się w szkole katedralnej w Krasnymstawie, a następnie wyjechał na naukę do Paryża. Studiował też w Strasburgu i Padwie. W 1563 został wybrany rektorem akademii padewskiej. Tam też napisał po łacinie swe dzieło „De Senatu Romano Libri II” („O Senacie Rzymskim Księgi Dwie”). Dwór królewski i elekcja viritim Po powrocie z Włoch został przyjęty na dwór królewski w Krakowie jako sekretarz Zygmunta Augusta. Sumiennie wykonywał swoje obowiązki takie jak np. redagowanie listów i pism władcy, uczestniczenie w obradach senatu czy porządkowanie archiwum skarbca. Dzięki temu otrzymywał od króla kolejne majątki ziemskie. Po śmierci władcy w 1572 roku, Zamoyski wysunął koncepcję elekcji viritim. Był przejęty sytuacją Rzeczypospolitej i chciał, aby cała szlachta decydowała o wyborze nowego króla. Elekcja została przyjęta, a Zamoyski jako przywódca szlachty stał się aktywnym politykiem.

Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony.
