O religijnym piśmiennictwie "zegarowym” w polskich drukach z XVII i XVIII wieku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Malińska, Anna
The article is devoted to the Polish religious printed matter from the 17th and 18th centuries (individual works and collections of texts), which shares the “clock” metaphor. The author focuses on Catholic and Arian literature, independent works and short forms, both poetry and prose. The texts analyzed are mostly pieces of advice and warnings helpful in the Christian life, centred around the Passion and funerals. The article presents the content, composition and function of these works, as well as the dual use of the clock theme in them: as an object which awakens and which measures time. The genological aspects of these works are also considered.
„Mnie wiara jest widzeniem i za wszystkie mi z rozumu i zmysłów wywody stoi”. Rok Święty w świetle "Kazania na Miłościwe Lato abo Jubileusz" Piotra Skargi
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Wichowa, Maria
Holy Years had a great significance for the spiritual culture in 16th/17th century Poland. Participation in the celebration of the jubilee allowed the renaissance of faithful and required fulfilling multiple conditions as defined by the Church. For the circumstances of Holy Years, there were special sermons prepared. One of them was written by Piotr Skarga. The text is designed as a role model among sermons, intended for frequent use by preachers. Skarga presents himself in this sermon as a "specialist", excellent subject matter expert, well acquainted with theology and the origins of the described events. In his persuasion and argumentation, Skarga tries to adjust the rhetorical means to the intellectual and spiritual predispositions of the recipients of the sermon. For example, he presents to the faithful abstract concepts through the phenomena known to them from their everyday life, he uses simple explanations of difficult theological questions. This sermon acts as a spiritual guide, a means to shape public opinion, an efficient tool of religious teaching and achieving the objectives of the Jesuits. The work has a utilitarian character.
Forma typograficzna Biblii Brzeskiej na tle druków szesnastowiecznych
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Szewczyk, Klaudyna
The following article is a comprehensive analysis of the physical layout of the Brest Bible in comparison with the typographical standard model dominant in the 16th century. The author of the article explores the idea that the new edition of The Bible, initiated by Mikołaj "Czarny" Radziwiłł, was valued during its time not only as a pioneering translation of the Holy Text but also as a labour-intensive editorial project. The article is an overview of the text format and page layout. The author focuses on the visual significance of the book, especially the ornamental materials used to create it. The paper shows how the Brest Bible stands out in comparison with other contemporary Protestant prints. The author focuses on the unusual layout of the chapters, which are both rich and complex in terms of the organization and the commentary, as well as the extensive publishing frame and ornate decor. The typographical model used in the creation of the Brest Bible amazes contemporary scholars with its eternal functionality and reveals the astonishing complexity of the design.
Jan Alan Bardziński – dominikanin, kaznodzieja, tłumacz. Próba nakreślenia sylwetki twórczej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Rusnak, Radosław
The article casts light on a poorly known and rarely appreciated figure of a late-Baroque Dominican, keen preacher and devoted translator of both laic and religious texts, Jan Alan Bardziński. The author firmly states that Bardziński’s literary activity remains strongly connected to his multiple duties as a monk as one of the main values he searches for in his readings is a didactic one. Nevertheless he certainly can be defined as a consistent adapter of some renowned ancient works as well, which puts him among other 17th and 18th century followers of the humanistic and classicist traditions and enables us to rank high his erudition and philological preparation. The essay makes a brief survey of his works, describing their content and underlining some important notes given by the translator himself regarding his goals and prorities. Some general observations on the characteristics of his texts are made and the question of integrity or disintegrity of his literary production is highlighted as well.
Zaproszenie do publikacji w piątym numerze „Tematów i Kontekstów” pt. "Polska proza nowa i najnowsza"

"Nazacniejsza Pieśń Salomonowa", czyli Pieśń nad pieśniami w przekładzie Biblii Brzeskiej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Gołębiowski, Michał
“The Noblest Song of Solomon” [“Nazacniejsza Pieśń Salomonowa”], or The Song of Songs [Pieśń nad pieśniami] in the translation of Brest Bible is an attempt to interpret various fragments of the biblical love dialogue with particular focus on the content of margins (comments) written by the editors of the Brest Bible. My analysis leads to the conclusion that for the 16th century Protestant exegetes allegoresis was the dominant method of reading The Song of Songs. Neverthless, in some of their philological intuitions the Brest Bible’s editors surprisingly agree with the findings of the 20th century Biblical Studies, especially in the case of the strictly erotic character of some allusive expressions, or associations with the symbols used in the Pentateuch.
"Bezoar z łez ludzkich czasu powietrza morowego" Walentego Bartoszewskiego jako przykład "recepty dusznej i cielesnej” na czas zarazy
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Pasek, Monika
The article constitutes an attempt to interpret a little known collection of poems by the Jesuit priest from Vilnius, whose publication was both the reaction to the outbreak of plague in Vilnius between 1629–1632 and the testimony of increased religiousness in the face of the epidemic. The author presents Walenty Bartoszewski and his poetic oeuvre. She briefly describes the social background of those events. Moreover, she characterizes other texts from the 16th –18th centuries that deal with the topic of the epidemic. They include: sermons, secular works, religious songs and prayer works. The core of the article constitutes the interpretation of the collection by Bartoszewski in the context of the most important elements of the volume "Bezoar z łez ludzkich…" [”The Bezoar of Human Tears in the Time of the Plague”], which are as follows: the indication of religiousness at the beginning of the 18th century, the realities of the epidemic in a lyrical work, the vision of God and Christ, protection of the faithful against the bubonic plague, and the intercession of Mother of God.
Przejawy sarmackiej religijności w relacjach cudzoziemców odwiedzających Rzeczpospolitą w XVIII wieku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Piotrowiak, Dariusz
The main purpouse of this article is to elaborate how the foreigners who visited Poland during the 18th century described the religious life of the Polish nobility. The author analyses travel journals written by Johann Joseph Kausch, Johann Erich Biester, Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, William Coxe, Nathaniel William Wraxall, Joseph Marshall and James Harris. It is shown that the foreigners accused Polish nobles of bigotry and superficial religiousness. Moreover, they criticised the theatralisation of the Christian liturgy in Poland, although after the Council of Trident it was a common phenomenon in Europe. It is also proven that the foreigners demonstrated their indifferent attitude towards the idea of Poland as "antemurale christianitatis" and blamed the members of the Bar Confederation for cruelty and religious fanaticism. In conclusion, it is said that the foreigners created a false, simplified description of Sarmatian religiousness. The main reason of that was their general lack of understanding of Polish culture and mentality.
Olimp i Polska. Religia w "Stefanie Czarnieckim" Kajetana Koźmiana
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Zabielski, Łukasz
Kajetan Koźmian (1771-1856) is a representative of the 19th century classicism called post-partition or Warsaw classicism. Similarly to other Polish and European poets, he made an attempt to create a national epic. His work titled "Stefan Czarniecki" is considered to be the first national epic. It was published in 1858 in Poznań. This monumental poem has 500 pages and almost 13 thousand verses. This ambitious classic writer from Piotrowice aspired to become a national poet. He desired to follow two masters of literature, namely Virgil and Horace. Frankly, I think that Koźmian failed. He could not write a national epic and remain faithful to his ancient idols at the same time. This article analyses the reasons for this fiasco. Generally, they are the antinomies between Christian beliefs on the one hand, and Greek and Roman mythologies on the other.
Na marginesie edycji Baldego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Pieczyński, Maciej
Two early modern Polish translations of “Poema de vanitate mundi” by Jakob Balde edited by Maria Kozłowska is an important publication from the perspective of research into Baroque religious poetry, especially the Saxon times. The popularity of Balde’s poem in late Baroque can be seen not only in its subsequent editions, but also in the references to it in the works of the contemporary religious poets, including Dominik Rudnicki and Karol Mikołaj Juniewicz. In the introduction to this edition the author presents Balde as a Jesuit poet, who subordinates his writing to didactic and moralistic objectives, but at the same time strives to engage the reader’s senses, following the principles of Ignatian meditation.
Ludzkie pragnienia, trudy i obawy w oświeceniowych modlitwach poetyckich
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Marcinkowska, Małgorzata
The paper is devoted to poetic prayer songs of the Enlightenment, which contain references to the work and the wider circle of relationships as well as values and feelings of the individual. The considerations are focused on the analysis undertaken by the authors who concentrate on the social changes taking place in the late eighteenth century. The basic research tasks include, among other things, describing the role of poetic prayers in complex human relationships in the context of communication theory as well as genre characteristics. The main aim of the paper is to introduce the meaning and the understanding of prayer as an important part of human life that is placed in the contemporary everyday social rhythm.
Kilka uwag o "Pieśniach nabożnych" Franciszka Karpińskiego – aspekty językowe i kulturowe
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Ożóg, Kazimierz
The paper proves the thesis proposed by literature historians which concerns the linguistic artistry, simplicity and great didacticism of "Pieśni nabożne" [“Pious Songs”], which, though aimed at the lower classes of society, in have been immensely popular for two centuries. It is in them that Karpiński managed to realize the Enlightenment postulates of work on language revival. Some of the songs are treasures of religiousness and Polish culture.
Xanadu - kraina hiperobfitości
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Korwin-Piotrowska, Dorota
The review is of a book by Mariusz Pisarski, “Xanadu. Hipertekstowe przemiany prozy” [„Xanadu. Hipertext Changes in Fiction”], first published in 2013. On the one hand, the reviewer appreciates the author’s attempt at a comprehensive presentation of all aspects of hypertext fiction (structure of lexis, hyperlink features, connection models, differences in structure) and its relations with avant-garde literary tradition, theory of literature and text studies, on the other hand she provides some critical remarks concerning numerous mistakes, omissions and inconsistencies. Pisarski’s book presents a wealth of topics and references, provides a summary of existing research positions, but is too cautious in marking out new paths.

Średniowieczne podłoże kultury pogranicza
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Timofiejew, Artur
The international conference “Rozmyślanie przemyskie [The Przemyśl Meditation] as Evidence of Medieval Literary and Religious Culture in View of Ages” (Przemyśl-Krasiczyn, 12th–14th of June, 2014) aimed at reconsidering medieval roots of West- and East-Slavonic culture-borderland. Participants of the conference represented research centres from Poland, Ukraine and Russia. Text of "Rozmyślanie przemyskie", genesis and transfiguration of apocryphal motifs of its narrative and influence of that literary and preaching work on Slavonic folklore were the three main objects of reflexion. The lecturers stressed two matters especially: textual multi-layer complexity of "Rozmyślanie przemyskie" and persistence of Christ’s childhood motifs in Slavonic oral folklore. The conference was organized by the State East-European College in Przemyśl, the University of Rzeszów, the Maria Skłodowska-Curie University in Lublin, and the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukraine).

Postać Bedy Czcigodnego w polskim piśmiennictwie religijnym XVI–XVIII wieku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Puchalska-Dąbrowska, Bernadetta M.
The aim of the article is to present Bede the Venerable as a role model present in the Polish religious prose of the 16th-18th centuries. The sources under discussion are mainly collections of the lives of saints. The profile of Bede, shown as a perfect Benedictine monk, scholar and priest is inspired by the earliest biographical Anglo-Saxon sources (e.g. Bede’s autobiography and Cuthbert’s letter on the hero’s death). Polish hagiography, following the directions of the Trent Council, aims at emphasizing Bede’s qualities required from the then clergy – in-depth spiritual life, thorough knowledge, respect towards authorities, and teaching skills.
Z żałobnej karty. Wspomnienie o Profesorze Józefie Nowakowskim
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Uliasz, Stanisław

(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Podgórski, Wojciech J.

Sanctissimum, zmysły i retoryka. Wierszowany cykl z końca XVII wieku o tajemnicy Eucharystii autorstwa studentów kolegium jezuickiego w Orszy
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Krzywy, Roman; Sieradzka, Aldona
The article is concerned with the handwritten cycle of poems "Głosy piąci zmysłów" [“Speeches of Five Senses”], that comes from the 2nd half of the 17th century. The text is part of a codex containing other rhetorical exercises by students of the Jesuit college in Orsza (Belarus). "Głosy piąci zmysłów" develop the issue of the Eucharistic mystery – voices of the five senses try to explore this problem and the Mind is their leader. But it turns out that four senses – eyesight, taste, the senses of touch and of smell – have failed. Only hearing can prove that the truth about this sacrament was revealed in the words of Christ and the saints. The hardest task is to believe them.
