Abstracts

EN

The Lusignan epoch in Cyprus produced a number of interesting and extraor­dinary individuals, of which king Hugh IV Lusignan particularly stood out. However, due to a lack of portraits left to us from that time, we have only a very vague concept of what those individuals’ appearances looked like. This work makes a unique attempt at reconstructing a portrait of king Hugh IV Lusignan based on a miniature found in a manuscript containing works of Michael Scotus, located in the Bavarian State Library.

Era dynastii Lusignan na Cyprze zrodziła wiele ciekawych i niezwykłych postaci, spośród których wyróżnia się szczególnie król Hugon IV Lusignan. Ponieważ nie przetrwały żadne portrety z tego okresu, posiadamy jedynie mgliste wyobrażenie o tym, jak mogły wyglądać te postaci. Niniejsza praca ma na celu próbę unikalnej rekonstrukcji portretu króla Hugona IV Lusignan na podstawie miniatury znajdującej się w manuskrypcie zawierającym dzieła Michaela Scotusa, przechowywanym w Bawarskiej Bibliotece Landowej.
