Biografia w kazaniach pogrzebowych Jakuba Olszewskiego

100%
PL
Przedmiotem rozważań jest sześć kazań pogrzebowych z lat dwudziestych i trzydziestych XVII wieku jezuity Jakuba Olszewskiego upamiętniających Samuela Paca, Annę Sapieżankę Radziwiłłową, biskupa Eustachego Wołłowicza, ks. Jana Karola Białłozora, Krzysztofa Mikołaja Sapiehę oraz Gryzeldę Wodyńską Sapieżynę. Kaznodzieja żegnał osoby obu płci, w różnym wieku, duchowne i świeckie. Celem studium jest ukazanie, w jaki sposób i na ile kaznodzieja włącza biografię zmarłego w koncepcję kazania pogrzebowego, ustalenie tego, w jakim stopniu interesuje go autentyczny życiorys, a na ile postawa oraz – szczególnie – realizacja zamysłu moralistycznego. Na ile Olszewski korzysta ze schematu pochwały opracowanego przez Kwintyliana, a na ile czerpie z modelu znanego z hagiografii. Chwaląc zmarłych, Olszewski odwołuje się do symboliki heraldycznej, wykorzystuje też miejsca (loci) podane przez Kwintyliana. Za istotne uznaje kaznodzieja także przywołanie świadectw heroicznej wiary, które czerpie od spowiedników zmarłych. Kreując wzorce osobowe, dąży do osiągnięcia celu parenetycznego. W praktyce kaznodzieja podaje informacje mówiące o: genealogii, indywidualnych doświadczeniach życiowych (a w przypadku mężczyzn o ich działalności publicznej), praktycznej pobożności, cnotach moralnych, jałmużnie, działalności fundatorskiej i pobożnej śmierci. Kaznodzieja więc nie stawia sobie za cel przedstawienia biografii osoby zmarłej, lecz nakreślenie wzorców osobowych reprezentatywnych dla modeli, jakie podsuwa dola zmarłego. Mówca uczy słuchaczy sztuki dobrego życia, ukazuje godne naśladowania postawy. Olszewski łączy schemat podany przez Kwintyliana z elementami schematu znanego z hagiografii. Ukazuje model świętości dostępny dla każdego. Jego biografie mają zatem profil laudacyjno- -parenetyczny.

The subject of deliberation is a piece of six funeral sermons from 20. and 30. of 17th century written by Jesuit Jakub Olszewski who reminds Samuel Pac, Anna Sapieżanka Radziwiłłowa, Bishop Eustachy Wołłowicz, Priest Jan Karol Białłozor, Krzysztof Mikołaj Sapieha and Gryzelda Wodyńska Sapieżyna. The purpose of the study is to present how and how much the preacher introduces biography of the deceased in the concept of funeral sermon, determining how much interesting for him is a real biography, and how much the attitude, as well as executing the moralistic plan. To what extend Olszewski uses established by Quintilian eulogy scheme and how much he extracts from a model known from historiography. Praising the deceased Olszewski refers to heraldic symbolism, he also uses loci given by Quintilian. As important the preacher considers also recalling testimonies of heroic faith, which he draws from confessors of the deceased. Olszewski by creating personal patterns pursues to achieve his parenetic objective. In practice the preacher gives information telling about: genealogy, individual life experiences (in case of men – about their public activity), practical piety, moral virtues, charity, fundatory activity and pious death. Therefore, the preacher does not set an objective to present biography of deceased person, but sketches personal patterns of representative models, which are given by fate of a deceased. Speaker teaches auditors the art of good life, as well as he presents demeanors worth imitating. Olszewski thus combines scheme given by Quintilian with the elements of scheme known from hagiography. He presents the pattern of sanctity available to everyone. His biographies have a laudatory-parenetic profile.

The study is dedicated to identifying the ways in which memory works in the funerary sermons by Fabian Birkowski, preached and published with the aim of commemorating the achievements of Jan Zamoyski, Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, Bartłomiej Nowodworski, Jan Wejher, Stefan Chmielecki, Zygmunt Śrzedziński, Krzysztof Zbaraski and Joachim Ocieski. The aim of the work is to reconstruct the strategies of commemoration in the creative, dispositional and elocutionary dimensions of the sermons themselves, as well as in the elements of front matter and end matter of the pieces: the titles, epigraphs, prefaces and censor’s approvals. The commemoration is achieved through the depiction of the deceased’s accomplishments against the backdrop of biblical and mythological tradition, and of literature, from classical, through to medieval and late-Renaissance. The preacher strives for the inclusion of the deceased’s achievements in the canon of collective memory, in which they are preserved as excellent knights, leaders, chancellors or diplomats, proving their courage, valour, virtue, piety, concern for their fatherland and for the civil liberties of the nobility. The research material is also analysed in the context of the notions of memory related to the field of contemporary humanities (places of memory, collective memory, vehicles of memory, identity and post-memory).

We wstępnej części artykułu autor referuje dotychczasowy przebieg badań nad poematem „Victoria deorum” Sebastiana Fabiana Klonowica, uwzględniając zagadnienie szlachectwa, alegoryczność utworu, jego kwalifikację genologiczną i tematyczną, przynależność do staropolskiej literatury parenetycznej, objaśnienie tytułu, rolę kontekstu mitologicznego, problematykę społeczną, konstrukcję dzieła, dzieje druku oraz antyczne i nowożytne źródła erudycji. Następnie przybliża dzieje tłumaczeń „Victoria deorum” (zarówno tych pozostałych w rękopisie, jak i fragmentów drukowanych w pracach badawczych), a także wspomina cząstkowe edycje łacińskie dzieła i cytuje fragmenty translacji autorstwa uczonych. Badacz informuje o odkryciu uznawanego za zaginiony przekładu Jacka Idziego Przybylskiego i charakteryzuje jego rękopis, odnaleziony w zbiorach Ambrożego Grabowskiego zdeponowanych w Archiwum Narodowym w Krakowie, po czym rozważa przyczyny, dla których tłumacz poniechał dalszej pracy, a Grabowski nie opublikował dzieła przyjaciela.

Paszkowski’s writing desire derives from the following reasons: his willingness to satisfy the material needs (Paszkowski was a writer), fulfill a public mission via informing the society about momentous current events and educating the society within the civic and religious spheres (Paszkowski is an Old-Polish moralist). His artistic programme in which he gave reasons for his literary activity, was formulated most clearly in Zamknienie do łaskawego Czytelnika supplementing Dzieje tureckie. The reason why the author took this literary effort is not an internal obligation not supported by external factors. On the contrary, the poet took up and conducted a literary activity under the influence of circumstances, and impulses coming from the world. The main motive of writing was worrying about the good of not only the citizens, but also all inhabitants of the Republic of Poland.

La passion d’écriture de Paszkowski résulte des causes suivantes : la volonté de satisfaire des besoins matériels (Paszkowski a été un écrivain professionnel), la mission publique à travers l’information de la société sur des évènements significatifs courants et l’éducation de la société dans les sphères civique et religieuse (Paszkowski est un moraliste de l’ancienne Pologne). Paszkowski a formulé son programme artistique, où il a expliqué les causes de son activité littéraire, de manière la plus visible dans Zamknienie do łaskawego Czytelnika, complétant Dzieje tureckie. La raison d’entretenir par l’auteur la labeur d’écriture n’est pas un impératif intérieur, non renforcé des facteurs extérieurs. Au contraire, le poète s’est engagé dans la production littéraire sous l’influence de circonstances, des impulsions provenant du monde. Le motif crucial d’écrire était la préoccupation pour le bienêtre non seulement des citoyens, mais aussi de tous les habitants de la République de Pologne.

The article presents the structure and main themes of the diary of the solemn investiture ceremony of Teofila Wiśniowiecka entitled Tryumf troistej Łaski Boskiej [“The Triumph of the Threefold Divine Grace”] from 1753. This literary work is presented against the background of monastic customs which accompany the investiture. Introduction of many persons served to commemorate their role in the ceremony and to praise the families they represented. The article describes the activities presented in the diary to announce the celebrations. The course of the events is pointed out considering the role of decorations which were especially stressed in the diary. The interior decorated with not only expensive materials and costly votive offerings but also flowers, which were appropriately lit, was accompanied by Baroque splendor with processional marches, the firing of cannons and the music performed by the duke’s band. Theatralization of the event is emphasized. The article considers the rhetorical structure of the speeches included in the diary (dispositio) and the main themes from the sphere of inventio. It also shows which elements of the event were not included in the diary. They were omitted because they did not comply with the rules of the ceremony (i.e. lack of secular speeches during the act of investiture). The investiture was shown as a special case of a rite of passage because it was a doyenne of the family who was joining the Order, not a young maiden. The act was important because while she was still alive she left inheritance to her descendants who felt obliged to pay tribute to her. The Order also accepted her with due respect as their protector and founder. Publication of the diary was intended to consolidate for posterity the information about the lavish celebration and spread knowledge of its course of events among magnates and gentry

The article is proving that works arisen from the tradition of wishing carol, in which titles appeared a formula „Carol, The New Year and the Generous Day”, constitute a separate literary genre. What is more, works, which belong to it could exist in two forms: unified and cyclical. The genesis of the genre is regarded to appear in combining into one group the motives and symbols of the Christian holidays (from the Christmas through the Circumcision / the New Year to the Epiphany). These types of lyrics were printed from the very beginning to the half of the 17th century. The article therefore is creating the profile of dozen texts saved to our times.

This article presents one of the poetic texts which describes the Battle of Chocim of 1621 from Muslum Turkey. The author connected a few literary conventions such as epic, news, and popular. He briefly presented developments, though not all stages of the battle. Paszkowski chose some important moments and only a few heros: king’s son Władysław Waza, Polish commander Chodkiewicz, Baptista Weweli, and Turkish hero - Pasha Karakasz. Paszkowski wrote for contemporary people and built his relations from information, which was brought to him by other authors who wrote prose and memoirs. Paszkowski didn’t intend to give a detailed description of the incidents. He prepared a propaganda relationship for popular recipients.

In this paper the author shows a few personifications the commander in Samuel Twardowski’s heroic creation. He chooses only theses situations, which the poet presents his principal hero only in the very important situation for the republic’s history. The author showed headman election, hetmans death, why he acts as the hetman to his death, the commander as orator, the hetman as negotiator and the commander on the battlefield. The author described few important military situations, in the knight’s live seventeenth century commanders, for instance: Stanisław Żółkiewski, Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, Jeremi Wiśniowiecki etc., when they spoke to his knight, when they fought and sometimes died. In the commanders’ ethos was of importance, in the Twardowski’s creation and in all old Polish culture, that he combined elements of senator, diplomat, orator, headman and knights.

The text presents few analogies between the literary worlds of Samuel Twardowski and the older, Mikołaj Rej. 1. The two authors chose the Polish language for their literary makes; 2. They were inspired by European and Polish Latin literary works; 3. They wrote works which belong to occasional literature; 4. These two writers were very important and established good contact with a community of readers; 5. Autobiographical texts exists in their literature; 6. Rej and Twardowski analyzed soda! phenomenons with preserving the point of view of a broad opinion-created perspective of knighthood; 7. The two authors belong to a tradition of gentry literature; 8. Children’s education is an important topic in their literary works; 9. Very important is the texts didactism and the creation of personal models; 10-11. They were interested in the printing of their texts and the popularity of their literature in the midst of their contemporaries. Their popularity was brief because the generation Rej and Twardowski wrote for past on; 12. Their works were republished often during their lives and only few years past their deaths. This analogy speaks to the similarities of Rej and Twardowski’s literary road. I don’t suggest any immediate literary relationship between these scriptures. Now we may talk about exdusively, Twardowski’s attachment to Rej’s literary school.

This article presents the problems with establishing a foundation for the edition titled Civil War by S. Twardowski. Before World War II, Part One was a Cracow published text from 1660 parts two-four were in manuscript form. Due to the destruction of the manuscript, Jesuits currently published a censored edition which does not take into account Kalisz’s edition from 1681. The Kalisz edition has a few variants that are primarily found on pages 1-24 of the second part of this work. Their considerable scope proves that these pages were folded twice. There is also a variant in the title represented by a copy in the Library of Warsaw. The activities of the Jesuits show considerable consideration about the quality of the published volume Civil War and wanted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the poet's death and establish a teaching program in their colleges.

This article presents the disputed history of the authorship of Sarmatiae Europae Descriptio, with scholars’ debates lasting from the 18th century to contemporary times. Some concede to Maciej Stryjkowski’s claim towards Aleksander Gwagnin, who was accused of plagiarism. Others deem Gwagnin’s work as being original. Constructing his text, Gwagnin drew from printed books and manuscripts by Stryjkowski. Some scholars also point out to other resources. Gwagnin’s text is a well of knowledge, which is a compilation of information from many sources. The conceptualisation of the entire work makes form the originality of this work. Paszkowski not only translated the Polish version of Gwagnin’s work, but also added some of excerpts, each time signalling his authorship. It cannot be determined in what capacity he contributed otherwise

In this paper the author shows that a crowd in Twardowski’s production becomes a community significant, not only ornamentical. This crowd consists of the nobility and a persons Trom behind the ethos. Twardowski produces a part of the nobility on the structure of presented world and he pays attention to their behaviour: knightly and not knightly. Samuel of Skrzypną shows a struggle on the battle field between antagonistic armies. These armies are presented as an anonymous masses. The poet only occasionally mentions single knight’s unusual contribution. The describes its to open the reading public’s eyes to contribution one and all to the victory. Author of this work also takes up the up-service, so-called camp-followers, their picture in Twardowski’s works. This pictures changes. The camp-followers become conscious of their own power. They see that their actions can influence the results of military campaign. In this paper portrait of Cossacks war skipped. Twardowski like enough the first epic writer notices and appreciates an import of masses in the 17th century literature.
