The articles contains a transliteration of the two existing handwritten accounts (two autographs and a copy) of Juliusz Slowacki's 'Future National Holidays', presents an editorial history of the 'mistic calendar' and attempts to settle the relationship between its two versions. Finally, as a result of the analyses, it gives a new (different in detail form those to date) editing of the two versions of the calendar.

The paper is a presentation of Juliusz Slowacki's two drawings done most probably in the first months in 1845. The drawings have never been reproduced and the scanty pieces of information on them are either casual or grossly inadequate. The first drawing shows in a satiric way an episode common among the émigrés: Mickiewicz's prophetic vision signaling Andrzej Towianski's arrival to the West. The second drawing is an ironic and derisive evaluation of pro-Russian tendencies in the Circle of God's Cause initiated by its founder Andrzej Towianski and his deputy, Adam Mickiewicz. At the turn of 1844 and 1845 Slowacki actively and keenly protested against the aforementioned tendencies: he wrote proclamations, notes, letters, and poems. Their analysis in the first part of the paper (fragments 3-5) gives evidence to prove that at a moment the drawings in question appeared as an important element of some action lead by Slowacki. One may not exclude the idea that while working on them, Slowacki thought of publishing them (and it was probably also with the intention that he copied a poem from his draft to give it a title in the clean copy 'A Lair' (Matecznik). The second part of the paper (especially fragments 7-8) brings a commentary to the drawings in question and an attempt to a possibly complete identification and explanation of all the details Slowacki put in them. One may explicitly see here the core of Slowacki's extremely critical attitude to the political and spiritual endeavors into which Master Towianski and his deputy involved their supporters.

The Royal Council (Consilium Regini) was finally established as an all-state body in the middle of the XIV c. It consisted of the highest state dignitaries (Chancellor, Major-domo, Treasurer), landed dignitaries (Voivodes, Greater Castellans), the Archbishops of Gniezno and Lvov and Catholic bishops. At the beginning the Council's functions were not legally regulated, but in practice it was an influential body in many spheres, e.g.: co-deciding about foreign po- licy, deciding about peace and war and about major appointments. Moreover, from 1422 the decision about minting was guaranteed to it by a statute. The royal court was also composed of the members of the Council. The monarch was eligible to appoint other members of the Council. Casimir IV Jagiellon made use of this privilege to liquidate political dominance of the so called 'old' by introducing 'the younger' (iuniores) - to lower offces. These steps led towards renewing of the elite in power. It is important as similar practice was applied during the reign of Sigismund I, allowing him to compose the Council according to his political idea. The composition of the group in power during the reign of Sigismund I underwent considerable alternations and modifications. Despite that we may point to a group of magnates, including Krzysztof Szydlowiecki, Mikolaj Szydlowiecki, Jan Laski, Piotr Tomicki, whose position and influence were the most conspicuous. It could be noticed especially in the second half of the reign of Sigismund I the Old, when the political influence of Queen Bona was becoming stronger and stronger, the Senate was more divided, the knighthood more powerful and the king, due to his age and deteriorating health, kept losing influence on politics for the benefit of his wife. In the analyzed period one can observe establishment of two elite circles: one around Sigismund I, another around Queen Bona Sforza. It was beneficial neither from the point of view of the reasons of State nor the position of the monarch.

„Ale pachniały zioła…”. Kilka uwag o Orfeuszu i Eurydyce Czesława Miłosza

The text is an attempt to prove that the descent to the underworld that the poem depicts (written after Carol’s death) led the Old Poet-Orpheus to absolute, completely objective and maximally interiorized knowledge of loss. The knowledge is of certain weight to the author, who only a few years earlier wrote a dramatic poem entitled ‘It’ (‘To’) and made it the first text of his poetic book under the same title. Unlike the case of the ancient Orpheus, or other later Orpheuses, that knowledge is not, however, the character’s final destination. The ending of the poem allows the reader to assume that — typically of Miłosz — it is an opening to the grand epiphany of existence.

The main subject of the text is the poem with an incipit of “Mamo, czy ja oślepłem…” (“Mother, have I gone blind…”), which is the final poem in the Pini di Roma series, published in the second edition of Śpiewnik włoski from 1978. The interpretation of the poem is preceded by remarks on the content and composition of the two editions of the volume (the first one dated 1974, and the second one) as well as a number of remarks placing the poem in the context of European and Polish literary and cultural tradition. The poetics of “Mamo, czy ja oślepłem…” — the conversation of the dying poet with his deceased mother — allows the text to be perceived as a peculiar ‘posthumous’ poem. At the same time, the poem is very elevating, optimistic and gives a great amount of hope in comparison to other death-themed lyrics by the author of Muzyka wieczorem.

When analyzing Rôzewicz's works — using the category of motif and that of theme as a set of motifs materialized in an object — one can state that the author is preoccupied with two successive themes: that of Deluge and that of Inferno. The former is to be regarded as a literary transformation of the war experience and at the same time as an attempt at a rebuilding of thę post-apocalyptic world (the motifs of: death arid deformation of the body, world devoid of values, purifying function of the material and bodily elements — a kind of catharsis). As in the myths about the Flood a coexistence of the motifs belonging both to the tragic and the optimistic visions can be noticed. The latter theme — which is a literary picture of the present life — seems to be a materialization of two motifs only: 1) wbrld devoid of values, and 2) grotesque deformation of the body. The shift of the Deluge theme to the Inferno theme finds its expression in the materialization of the optimistic motif in the tragic vision, as well as in a change of viewpoint of the speaking subject: formerly he was seeking to identify himself with the world, now he feels compelled to accept the identity. The material and bodily element, which originally was considered beneficial, now becomes grotesque and evil.

The essay is a propaedeutic attempt of a new look at the lyrics of Mickiewicz written in Lausanne. Putting aside the view that those lyrics were a rough version, the author considers the six poems as a complete, precise and final version of brilliant texts, composing a consistent logic whole of thought and, of course, poetry. The gist of the whole is that in five of the poems Mickiewicz verifies the basic ideas of romantic philosophy, and the sixth poem is a summing-up, full of nostalgy and grief, perfect as poetry, intellectually at the limit of the Impossible, what "in the саыв of Mickiewicz ’a realist", who tries to reconcile poetry with "reality", has a markedly tragic significance.

Przedmiotem notatek są dwa późne wiersze Tadeusza Różewicza, wiersze o fundamentalnych Różewiczowskich problemach: o śmierci oraz o kondycji współczesnego człowieka. Pierwsza część notatek przynosi zwięzłą próbę określenia zasadniczych treści oraz kontekstów wiersza Wrota śmierci, poświęconego pamięci zmarłego w 2005 roku Henryka Bereski. Druga część — jest próbą interpretacji wiersza bez tytułu jako utworu, w którym poeta — na ład bilansu czy podsumowania — zapisał istotę swoich poglądów na naturę współczesnego człowieka.

My reading of the following poems Wieczór autorski [An Author Reading], from the volume Sól [Salt], 1962; and Trema [Stage Fright], from the volume Ludzie na moście [People on the Bridge], 1986, is an attempt to define, at least in outline, the essence of the transformation which has occurred in the works by the author of Koniec i początek [The End and the Beginning] over the last several dozen years. The essence of the transformation is gradualy opening of Wisława Szymborska’s poems to the sphere of metaphysics or - as she herself put it in one of the interviews - a quest for ‘the less obvious which does exist in us, in our consciousness’.

The first two sections of the paper draw attention to some incompletely interpreted issues within two Romantic dramas: the unclear status of the protagonist in "Dziady, Part IV" (on the one hand, representing the indefinability of man and, on the other, constituting the illustration of how lightly one may lose consistency and identity), and the ambiguous relationship between Goplana and Grabiec in "Balladyna" (which can be perceived in terms of the complex relations between ‘the angelic soul and the bluff head’ (dusza anielska i czerep rubaszny). The third section of notes is an encouragement to discuss two topics: ‘From Zygmunt Krasiński’s Leonard to Jerzy Andrzejewski’s Diego de Manente’; ‘From "Pierścień Wielkiej-Damy, czyli: Ex-machina-Durejko" by Cyprian Norwid to "Tango" by Sławomir Mrożek’.

(Title in Polish - 'Niezwykly przypadek 'zniszczonego' autografu. List o tzw. rekopisie warszawskim 'Odpowiedzi na 'Psalmy przyszlosci'' Juliusza Slowackiego'). The text tells about an exceptional case of Juliusz Slowacki's manuscript, i.e. the second manuscript of the poem Answer to 'Psalms of the Future' which survived in the collection of National Library in Warsaw, though in Slowacki's writings and bibliographies issued after World War II the text is qualified as destroyed in 1944. Correcting this information is an occasion to follow the poem's first and second manuscript editorial trials and tribulations in collected editions to date.
