- PozycjaJan Sobieski jako czytelnik Biblii w świetle Listów do Marysieńki(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Pawłowski, RafałTo date, studies of Jan Sobieski’s letters have meticulously been setting aside biblical reminiscences, which occur over the entire set of his enormous epistles to his wife. Not entirely seriously, we can say that the fame of military perfection and literary excellence overshadow subtle and occasional references to the Bible. Biblical references uncover for the reader an image of a humble man subordinated to God’s will, who wants to atone for his sins and transgressions in his lifetime. In the power of God he was also looking for relief and answers when his conjugal life was not doing best. Sobieski was also deeply convinced of the immutability of God’s judgments which were always faultless (providentialism).
- Pozycja„Tyś kształt człeka nad insze stworzenia ozdobił”. Dobro stworzenia i zło grzechu w pieśniach psalmicznych Niepróżnującego próżnowania Wespazjana Kochowskiego(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Gołębiowski, MichałThe study is devoted to the issues of eulogy of the world and contempt of the temporal and sinful condition of man based on “psalmic cantos” in "Niepróżnujące próżnowanie" ["Not Idling Idleness"] by Wespazjan Kochowski. As I try to prove, the religious attitude of the Sarmatian poet indicates continuity of patristic tradition, especially the so-called “golden era” of the Fathers of the Church (turn of the fourth and fifth centuries). Kochowski’s theological vision contained in the song "Everything from Heaven" and in the poetic series "To the Penitent" is based on the dichotomy between the original perfection of creation and the need for God’s healing grace.
- PozycjaMiędzy „świętą prawdą” a herezją – Biblia w Wywodzie jedynowłasnego państwa świata Wojciecha Dembołęckiego(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Czarczyński, PiotrThis article attempts to explain the role of the Holy Bible in the book by Wojciech Dembołęcki entitled "Wywód jedynowłasnego państwa świata". The author does not deny that theories presented in his work were formulated with the help of the Holy Bible. The article answers the following questions: Which fragments of the Holy Bible were cited on the pages of "Wywód"? To what extent is Dembołęcki faithful to the original when he recalls themes from the Old and New Testaments? How does the Holy Bible help Father Wojciech to prove that Polish has been spoken since the time of Adam and Eve, that the Polish people are the oldest nation and only they have the right to rule the whole world which was given to them by God, and also that all kings will soon respect their authority? We also try to assess Dembołęcki’s attitude: whether he should be considered a heretic or a defender of holy truth.
- PozycjaW sukurs pamięci. Kilka uwag o diariuszu i pamiętnikach Mieczysława Marcinkowskiego(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Setlak, WiesławMieczysław Marcinkowski’s diary entitled "Wbrew losowi. Z partyzantki i tułaczki 1939–1945" was created in two periods of the author’s life and two geographical and cultural areas (Subcarpathia during wartime in Poland and California in the 1990s). Developed by a group of Rzeszów scientists, the diary of a Home Army fighter in Subcarpathia, later a refugee, now living in Pasadena, USA, is a record of events, experiences and reflections from wartime occupation and postwar exile. It is a convincing record of facts, which makes it a valuable source text for historians. It is also a work of some literary quality, written in spontaneous and sincere language that triggers empathy in the reader, and it is fairly original at the composition level.
- PozycjaTranslatio studii i kontakty międzykulturowe w średniowieczu. Słowo o V Kongresie Mediewistów Polskich w Rzeszowie(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Trościński, GrzegorzBetween September 20th and 24th, 2015 Rzeszów hosted the Fifth Congress of Polish Medievalists, which was attended by about 250 scholars of the Middle Ages from all academic centres in Poland and from abroad. The congress theme was “Reception and Rejection. Intercultural Contacts in the Middle Ages”. A large number of papers were presented in 20 thematic sections. One section, no. 17, entitled “Translatio studii in the intellectual and literary culture of the Middle Ages”, was organized by Professor Andrzej Dąbrówka from the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Grzegorz Trościński, Ph.D. from the Old Polish and Enlightenment Literature Department of the University of Rzeszów. The speakers included philosophers, historians of Polish literature and linguists from several academic centres in Poland. The papers focused on the main intellectual current of the Middle Ages, depicted from various perspectives and shown at different angles. Translatio studii turned out to be multifaceted and long-lasting.
- PozycjaPostać Atanazego Brzeskiego w świetle jego Diariusza. Próba interpretacji(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Gołębiowski, MichałThe short study is devoted to the person of Athanasius of Brest, one of the most prominent Orthodox priests and religious activists of the 17th century, seen in the light of his only work, "Diary" ("Дыярыуш", 1646). The paper attempts to analyse Athanasius’ dis-uniate mission as a consequence of his own prophetic creation, belief in supernatural visions and radical passion for the Orthodox traditionalism, described in his book. It appears that the key place in the work of Athanasius is occupied by the Icon of Virgin Mary of Kupiatycze, the sacred image regarded by the monk not only as a source of grace for his Apostolic ministry, but also as a sign of the real identity of the Orthodox Church. Athanasius’ social activity turns out to be important for understanding the controversies surrounding the Union of Brest.
- Pozycja„Pociesz i mię tu na chwilę…” Problematyka religijna Pieśni Nikodema Muśnickiego SJ(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Janiec, AdamThe article presents the most important religious themes in "Pieśni" ["Songs"] by Nikodem Muśnicki, a Jesuit from Polotsk, who was active during the Enlightenment. His biography, as presented in the introductory section, places him among forgotten writers, representatives of classicism after King Stanislaus II, and is a starting point in the interpretation of his songs. The analysis of selected pieces, published in the volume "Drobniejsze poetyckie zabawki" ["Smaller Poetic Toys"] and those which remained in manuscript, clearly indicates that Muśnicki chose the most important religious problems as his object of poetic reflection. He is interested in God, man and the world. Within these themes he also analyses more detailed issues: the essence of the Supreme Being, the existential situation of the human being, the place of man in the universe, and, last but not least, relations of God and man. The poet’s works are an interesting example of Polish religious poetry during the Enlightenment.
- PozycjaSwojskość i uniwersalizm – z wybranych zagadnień staropolskiego i oświeceniowego piśmiennictwa religijnego(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Trościński, GrzegorzOld Polish and Enlightenment religious literature is a fascinating area of research in past culture. It is still too early to claim comprehensive knowledge of it even though systematic work has been in progress for decades. The present issue of “Tematy i Konteksty” is the second collection of papers focused upon this current in old Polish literature. This issue is devoted to the relations of familiarity and universalism in Old Polish and Enlightenment religious literature. The main emphasis in the papers has been placed upon the Brest Bible and biblical inspirations, homiletics and occasional literature, religious drama, religious confession, mysticism, meditation, religious prints and manuscripts.
- PozycjaSienkiewicza przygody z literaturą „trzecią”(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Szargot, BarbaraThe article is a review of the book by Agnieszka Kuniczuk-Trzcinowicz, "Sienkiewicza talent i intuicja. Studia i szkice" ["Talent and Intuition of Sienkiewicz. Studies and Sketches"], published in Opole in 2014. The publication is an interesting example of analysis of relations between popular literary conventions and the works by Sienkiewicz. According to the reviewer, the essential merit of the book is the ambitious comparative idea – conventions of popular literature are observed not only in the novels by Henryk Sienkiewicz, but also in other 19th century works that belong to the canon of high literature.
- Pozycja„Lud «Koranu» – lud «Ewangelii»”. Norwid o genezie islamu i historii relacji chrześcijańsko-muzułmańskich(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Gadamska-Serafin, RenataIn addition to the western Mediterranean culture, Cyprian Kamil Norwid’s cultural interests also include the world of Islam and the civilization of the East. As emerges from the poet’s surviving letters and notes, his interest focused mainly on the question of the origins of the Muslim religion and the centuries-old history of Christian-Muslim relations. As a descendant of King John III Sobieski, the victor over Turks at Vienna, and an avid reader of "Jerusalem Delivered" by Tasso, Norwid simply could not neglect this issue in his ruminations and studies. His notes on Islam in "Album Orbis" were illustrated with many graphics and drawings related to eastern themes. It seems that Norwid’s historical approach to Muslim issues was to a large extent shaped by some patristic sources, and first of all by writings of Saint John of Damascus, rather than by his contemporary scientific or travelogue orientalism.
- PozycjaZlecenia o tematyce religijnej realizowane w lwowskiej tłoczni gubernialnej w latach 1773–1800(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Rusińska-Giertych, HalinaThe article focuses on the religious publications that were issued in Lvov in 1773-1800 by the printing press of the Lvov province, which belonged to Antoni Piller and later to his successors. Since the Pillers’ printing press was the only one active in the town between the latter half of the 1780s and the end of the 1790s, it accepted, apart from governmental printing orders, other commissions, including church and monastic ones. About thirty five religious texts were released by them. They were mostly prayer books and sermons, but also textbooks and religious education books, teaching guides for catechists, excerpts facilitating the understanding of the Gospel, as well as summaries of important Western European works that had an impact upon understanding the Christian religion and the debate of the existence of God.
- PozycjaMęczeństwo siedmiu braci machabejskich i ich matki wobec chrześcijańskiej tradycji hagiograficznej(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Rusnak, RadosławThe article focuses upon the description of the massacre of seven Maccabean brothers and their mother, from the seventh chapter of the Second Book of the Maccabees, as one of the most important representational patterns for the chronologically later Christian hagiographic literature, and also outlines theological foundations, developed by the Fathers of the Church, for the inclusion of the heroes of the Jewish uprising from the second century B.C. in the category of martyrdom characteristic of Christianity. In the part devoted to the Old Polish reception of this theme, special attention is devoted to a separate literary rendition of the story, which is the only one of its kind, in "A Pathetic Story of one Mother" by Samuel Dowgird of Pogowie. A detailed analysis focuses on both placing this adaptation within the entire translation work of the Lithuanian author and the idea of its interpretation. The paper is complemented by a critical edition of Dowgird’s work.
- PozycjaUtwory religijne Konstancji Benisławskiej a tradycja mistyki hiszpańskiej (św. Teresa z Ávili, św. Jan od Krzyża)(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Demkowicz, AgataKonstancja Benisławska was the author of only one collection, entitled "Pieśni sobie śpiewane" ["Songs Sung to Oneself, by Konstancja von Ryck Benisławska, wife of the pantler of the Duchy of Livonia, published with encouragement from friends and taken from rural shadow into daylight in Vilnus in 1776"]. It was published in a special period for the Republic of Poland when ideologies from Western Europe became popular in our country. Under the influence of views of French encyclopaedists and Voltaire, efforts for a thorough reform of political, social and cultural institutions began to be made. Transformations were the major talking point in press and literature of those days. Some social circles i.e. representatives of aristocracy, rich nobility and even clergy, started to become interested in the new laic model of spiritual life proposed by Western thinkers. According to philosophers, the Catholic Church proclaimed outdated ideas and stood in the way of development and civilization. Despite the applause for anti-Catholic ideas, the role and teachings of the Catholic Church in the Republic of Poland were not questioned. It contributed to a free development of religious literature. The volume of Benisławska, who was shaped in the spirit of great Spanish mystics, was inspired by love towards God. That feeling mobilizes the poet to continuous search for contact with the Creator, entering into deeper relations. The volume, which is a sort of “poetic prayer book,” is an account of her spiritual experience and feelings.
- PozycjaPodwójna przyjemność – spotkanie z Krystyną i Stefanem Chwinami(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Zatorska, MatyldaOn May 24th, 2014 the University of Rzeszów hosted the conference “Stefan Chwin – Spaces of Imagination” whose honoured guests were Stefan Chwin, novelist and literary historian, and Krystyna Chwin, poet and publisher. The first part of the conference was the lecture by Professor Chwin, entitled “Great Central European deportations of the 20th century from the axiological perspective. Challenges for Literature”, whereas the second part included the meeting with the literary couple. The event was organized by the Literary Studies Section of the Academic Association of Scholars of Polish Studies and by the editorial board of the literary and artistic quarterly “Fraza”.
- PozycjaPowiedziane i przemilczane. Rzecz o katolicyzmie Ignacego Krasickiego na podstawie jego twórczości literackiej(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Magryś, RomanThe article presents Ignacy Krasicki’s religiousness in the light of anthropology, which assumes that the man can, at the same time, show different attitudes concerning his outlook, resulting from being affected by simultaneous contradictory cultural paradigms. The author reveals the symptoms of secular thinking on the foundations of human morality in literary texts by the Bishop of Warmia, accompanied by religious traditionalism in the same or different literary works. The goal of the article is to provoke discussion on the personality of people in the Age of Enlightenment, which may not be explicit, but can be composed of heterogenous cultural elements.
- PozycjaListy Kazimierza Wyki i Stanisława Pigonia do księdza Jana Wiśniewskiego w sprawie autografów Adama Mickiewicza i Cypriana Kamila Norwida(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Trościński, GrzegorzThe article is dedicated to an unknown letters of Kazimierz Wyka and Stanisław Pigoń to the priest Jan Wiśniewski, which were found in the Diocesan Library in Sandomierz. Both resarchers wishd to gain access to the works of Adam Mickiewicz and Cyprian Kamil Norwid. The main contents of these letters are requests for a possibility of reading authographs of these works. Jan Wiśniewski was a known and worthy collector of Polish memorabilia. Stanisław Pigoń was reasercher and publisher of the works of Adam Mickiewicz. Kazimierz Wyka, as a historian of Polish literature, studied works of Cyprian Kamil Norwid.
- PozycjaBiblia brzeska a Europa z perspektywy Mikołaja Radziwiłła „Czarnego” działań o charakterze public relations(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Walecki, WacławThe article presents the current state of research and outlines plans for further studies on one of the most important translations of the Holy Scriptures into Polish, the so-called Brest Bible, or the Radziwiłł Bible (1563). In the second part, on the basis of Latin sources, the paper analyses the promotion of this edition conducted in Europe by Mikołaj “the Black” Radziwiłł, the initiator of the publication.
- PozycjaProlegomena do badań nad Katechizmem brzeskim w świetle początków brzeskiej drukarni(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Kucharska, Aleksandra; Sarzyńska, Sylwia; Zuziak, SzymonThe authors of the article attempt to present current research into the "Brest Catechism", the sixteenth-century text reprinted in 1908 and edited by Franciszek Pułaski as part of the Collectanea Series by the Krasiński Estate Library. It was prefaced by Pułaski, and reviewed by Aleksander Woyde and Aleksander Brückner. The article presents background to the publication of the Catechism, i.e. the activity of Mikołaj “the Black” Radziwiłł, specifically setting up the printing house in Brest in 1553 and engaging Bernard Wojewódka in it. The authors also attempt to establish the reasons for the Catechism’s dual composition.
- PozycjaKoncept w kazaniu okolicznościowym Pszczółka w bursztynie Franciszka Sitańskiego(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Kaczor-Scheitler, KatarzynaThe article presents the conceit in the Polish baroque sermon "Pszczółka w bursztynie" ["A Bee in Amber"] of a Bernardine Franciszek Sitański. In the sermon the author presents the figure of St. Dorothy; he also draws attention to the virtues of Dorota Kątska, who was the abbess of St. Norbert’s Order in Zwierzyniec (near Cracow) in the 17th century, and most of all he praises the monastic way of life. Biblical and hagiographic arguments, a source of inspiration for the author as an effective means of persuasion, appeal to the imagination of the audience. Metaphors, analogies and comparisons in the sermon prove that "Pszczółka w bursztynie" is based upon the conceit. By using the arguments Sitański was trying not only to move the recipients, but mainly to persuade them to cultivate virtues presented by Christian heroines.
- PozycjaTragedia Saul Vittorio Alfieriego w adaptacji Wojciecha Bogusławskiego. Rekonesans badawczy(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Purgał, LiwiaThe work of Wojciech Bogusławski, adaptation from the tragedy by Vittorio Alfieri, depicts two characters who present their arguments to each other. King Saul is characterized by cruelty and quite pathological pride, whereas David, his adversary, is noble, valiant and ready to sacrifice himself for the good of his country. The events of the tragedy are modelled after the biblical story of King Saul, who is abandoned by the spirit of God, and David, favoured with the blessing of the Creator, presented in the First Book of Samuel. Yet, the tragedy of Alfieri-Bogusławski is not only a rephrased version of the biblical text because the time of the plot begins when the story in the Bible finishes. The biblical events in the tragedy are shown in flashback. The paper is a research reconnaissance, as it presents fundamental remarks on the interpretation of the tragedy and suggestions for further study, especially concerning the function of the characters’ performance. Further examination is needed of the technique used by Bogusławski in adapting the work of Alfieri, and of the translation. The paper only presents general characteristics of the Polish translator’s decisions. Boguławski himself was aware of the consequences of translating a rhyming piece as prose. He strove to write concisely, to salvage the depth of thought and the expressive power of the original, to preserve most of the language, which would enable accurate communication with the reader, delight of the audiences, compassion for the characters, pity, fear, and thus to recreate high style in order to reproduce the category of grandeur, pathos and heroism. From the analysis of selected aspects of Bogusławski’s literary technique and artistry, it appears that the tragedy is an artistically mature piece and should be subject to further, more detailed study.
