Bohemian rulers of the Luxembourg dynasty and the Poděbrady family in the medieval Silesian and Kłodzko chronicles of canons regulars in Kłodzko, Wrocław and Żagań
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Chmielewska, Katarzyna
The author based on three monastery chronicles of the Late Middle Ages analyses the method of portraying the Bohemian kings from the Luxembourg and Poděbrady families and tries to point out factors which influenced this method of chronicle narration. The sources for this article are canons’ regulars chronicles in Żagań, Wrocław and Kłodzko: Catalogus abbatum Saganensium, Chronica abbatum Beatae Mariae Virginis in Arena i Cronica Monasterii Canonicorum Regularium in Glacz. The figures of rulers appear in the chronicles mainly in the context of their relationships with the particular monastery, especially when it comes to property matters: granting, rights and taxes. The other aspect in which the rulers are mentioned in the chronicles are the conflicts between secular and Church power. From the analysis of the texts a conclusion can be drawn that the picture of the rulers is diverse in different places where the chronicles were written and the attitude of the local society towards the particular ruler. It is best seen on the example of George of Poděbrady, a Hussite on the Bohemian throne. The chronicle of Żagań has a separate position – apart from the local issues, it presents the general information, unrelated to Church, including the ruling persons.
Elements of the ancient world in the chronicles by Cosmas of Prague and Gallus Anonymus
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2024-09) Chmielewska, Katarzyna
The article shows the way in which two medieval chroniclers: Gallus Anonymous and Cosmas of Prague include elements of ancient world into their narrations. Both Chronica Boemorum by Cosmas and Gallus’ Cronica et gesta ducum sive principum Polonorum refer to the Bible and ancient pagan literature. The author of the article presents similarities and differences of this method of the use of predecessors’ heritage. One of similarities is the natural and unconstrained style which both writers used to imagine the ancient world. The most important difference is the fact that Cosmas refers to antiquity more frequently and widely that Gallus. The author also underlines that the Prague canon was closer to another chronicler of Polish history – Wincenty Kadłubek – in his approach to threads and motives of antiquity.
Patientia et misericordia, poena et signum. The picture of a diseased person and the disease in Mediaeval narrative sources
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Chmielewska, Katarzyna
The article presents the manner of showing disease and the suffering of a person by Mediaeval narrative sources. The basis for the article are various national chronicles, monastic historiography and hagiography written in the Middle Ages. The analysed works are the lives of Saint Kinga of Poland, Anne of Bohemia, Salomea of Poland and Saint Francis of Assisi, three monastic chronicles written by canons regulars in the monasteries in Kłodzko, Żagań and Wrocław, and chronicles describing the Polish history by Gallus Anonymous, Jan Długosz and Jan of Czarnków. The author describes the attitude of the society towards the ill person and the attitude of the ill towards their suffering. The article presents also the description of disease and the attempt (or the lack of attempt) to provide medical causes of the illnesses. The indication of pathogenesis of the disease is very rare in the medieval narrative sources. The authors of these works often appeal to God in this matter, they look for an explanation in the Lord’s wrath or divine providence. The author of the article shows the differences in presenting the disease in the sources given in the article depending on the kind of works and its purposes.
