A remembrance about a lately deceased eminent literature and culture in old Poland scholar as well as a researcher in comparative literary studies.

The article discusses two works devoted to the women's education and upbringing, written in two different eras. Both books – the treaty by a Spanish secular humanist Juan Luis Vives (1492–1540) De institutione feminae christianae (Bruges 1524) dedicated to the Queen of England, Catherine of Aragon, wife of Henry VIII, and her daughter Mary Tudor, and reference guide for women by a Spanish Jesuit Jorge Loring (1921–2013) Para salvarte. Compendio de las verdades fundamentales de la religión católica y normas para vivirlas (1st ed. 1952) – are advisory in nature. Both authors in a similar way define the role of women in a society. Formulating the recommendations for good Christian women, the authors resort to almost identical argumentation derived from the Bible and the writings of the Church Fathers. They use similar rhetorical devices which are tailored to the current circumstances. Both authors refer to the same authority and show the same examples. The analysis of both works aims to show the immutability of rhetorical practices in the field of advice literature devoted to women.

In the article I focus on the emblematic representations of Debt and Credit - two concepts that are mutually conditioning. I indicate rhetorical tools (including non-verbal elements of the rhetorical situation, such as gestures, facial expressions, outfits) used in Cesare Ripa’s word-picture composition (Iconology, first edition 1593). I compare it with the popular motive of the death of Credit found in European graphics of the 17th and 18th centuries, including a Polish ephemeral print “Lament of different states of people over the dead Credit” (around 1655), consisting of an engraving and an extensive verse description.
PL
W artykule skupiam się na emblematycznych przedstawieniach Długu i Kredytu – dwóch pojęć wzajemnie się warunkujących. Wskazuję środki retoryczne (m.in. elementy niewerbalne sytuacji retorycznej, takie jak gest, mimika, strój) zastosowane w słownoobrazowej kompozycji Cesarego Ripy (Ikonologia, pierwsze wyd. 1593) oraz, dla porównania, z popularnym w grafice europejskiej XVII i XVIII w. motywem śmierci Kredyta, m.in. w polskim druku ulotnym Lament różnego stanu ludzi nad umarłym Kredytem (ok. 1655), składającym się z ryciny oraz wierszowanego, rozbudowanego opisu.

School textbooks written by a Spanish erudite and pedagogue Juan Luis Vives were used in schools of Protestant denominations in Royal Prussia – in Gdańsk, Toruń, Elbląg, but also in other towns and cities of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth– for teaching Latin. Nicolaus Volckmar, of German descent, a Polish language teacher at the Academic Gymnasium in Gdańsk, utilized the structure and themes of Vives’ dialogues Exercitatio linguae latinae  (1538) for teaching the Polish language. In this manner, paradoxically, the “phrasebook” of the Spanish humanist, as well as its subsequent editions, still in the 18th century was used by Gdańsk schoolers of German origin to learn the language which they needed for everyday communication in the community of multi-cultural and multi-ethnic Gdańsk. The Vives-Volckmar phrasebook was undoubtedly used by Arnold von Holten, later a lifetime mayor of the city, sent on a diplomatic mission to Spain by the Hanseatic League.

Curiositas i kobiety

100%
EN
Since ancient times, curiosity (curiositas) was perceived as a misdeed, negative passion resulting from an irrepressible drive in the pursuit of knowledge and associated with conceit. However, its positive aspect did not go unnoticed. This was associated with moderate inquisitiveness, which did not exceed the limits of cognition, and was determined by the existing worldview (curiositas versus studiositas). There existed a conviction that women, being closer to nature and unable to control their emotions, were more likely to succumb to undesirable curiosity; the mythical Pandora and biblical Eve being cited as examples to further underscore the point. Hence, they were taught the ability to refrain from wanting to satisfy their curiosity. In spite of this, 17th century Europe witnessed the emergence of women, many of whom were authors of scholarly essays and dissertations, works of encyclopedic nature, of textbooks and manuals on natural philosophy, “books of secrets”, of women’s writing, and of poems describing the universe. In the Republic of Poland, though, this type of creative activity was, for quite some time, met with utter incomprehension or no acceptance, if not outright criticism.

The author juxtaposes the little-known dialogue treatise of Jakub Zajączkowski’s Rozmowy filozoficzne (Philosophical Conversations, 1780) with its French prototype, Observations philosophiques (1771) by François Xavier de Feller. The works refer to the Pre-Enlightenment and Enlightenment philosophical and theological discussions in which issues in the field of natural science, geology, astronomy, and physics arise. The comparison yields some interesting conclusions.

Zegar, bohater legendy miejskiej

EN
Jakub Kazimierz Haur in his encyclopedia Skład abo Skarbiec znakomitych sekretów oekonomiej ziemiańskiej (Kraków 1689) in the chapter devoted to chronometers quoted an anecdote about the 15th-century astronomical clock in St Mary’s Church in Gdańsk. The anecdote bears the traits of a recurring motif, which appears in various places and times. It is a kind of urban legend, being a verbal folklore genre, which has so far been considered only in relation to modern times. The clock became its hero due to the important role it played in the city space.
PL
Jakub Kazimierz Haur w Składzie abo skarbcu (Kraków 1689) w rozdziale poświęconym chronometrom zapisał anegdotę o XV-wiecznym zegarze astronomicznym w kościele Mariackim w Gdańsku. Anegdota ta ma cechy motywu wędrownego, występującego w różnych miejscach i w różnym czasie, co charakterystyczne jest dla legendy miejskiej jako gatunku twórczości folklorystycznej, który dotychczas rozważany był jedynie w odniesieniu do czasów współczesnych. W artykule podjęto próbę interpretacji znanej w Europie opowieści jako legendy miejskiej. Zegar stał się jej bohaterem z uwagi na ważną rolę, jaką odgrywał w przestrzeni miejskiej.

In this paper I combine several different notions from broadly conceived humanities and two histories: of Poland and of Portugal at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. I comprehend here the experiencing of history as a way of treating one’s own, national past. The metaphor of experiencing history is related to the question of what the historical circumstances and situations are, what the purpose is and what history is referred to by the elites who are instrumental in shaping national identity. Melancholy of the past is already a partial answer-thesis to the question: In what way? The notion of peripheral cultures seems to be useful when we attempt to answer the question: in what situations and for what purpose we (the Portuguese and the Poles) referred, but also still continue to refer, to the past/history. Some considerations on the experience of history will have the following two Unions in the background: the Iberian Union (1580) and the Union of Lublin (1569).
