The Latin Convent of the Benedictine Sisters was founded by Katarzyna Saporowska in Lviv in 1596. For over 350 years, despite numerous wars, fires, and threats of dissolution, the nuns have managed to continuously lead a monastic life in the monastery that Katarzyna founded. It was only with the outbreak of World War II, its course and the establishment in 1945 of the new political order in Europe that the Benedictines were forced to leave Lviv and their home. They were assigned a new place of residence in Krzeszow in Lower Silesia, at which they arrived on May 31, 1946. The nuns transported part of the library accumulated in Lviv with them to Krzeszow, which became the basis for the organization of the library in the Krzeszow monastery. The Benedictines created a new structural system by separating the library into the following collections: • current books (contemporary) - containing books published since the nineteenth century to contemporary times. It is currently the main part of the library, which also includes religious books from the former school library in Lvov, • the school library, • Benedictine German-language books from the years 1919 -1946. It is the least developed of the book collections and has only an alphabetical catalogue. Today it is generally not used, hence it is stored in the archives of the monastery, • old prints. Also isolated, with the creation of a separate catalogue by subject and in alphabetical order, are the so-called secular books gathered since 1950 by Sister Teresa Gertrude Woleńska. Currently, the largest part of the library namely the current books collection consists of 10,281 volumes. In the years 1946-2000 the library grew mainly through purchases. In addition, the nuns received books as gifts from people friendly to the convent. The most needed publications are hand-written manuscripts. The thematic profile of the library is primarily literature on monastic contemplation and meditation.

The present article have been written on the basis of the materials preserved in the unpublished manuscripts of the Chapter of Łęczyca. The manuscript preserves acts and receipts of the Chapter, first of all from the first half of the XVth century. The time limits of the paper have been narrowed to the years 1406-1419 because first receipts come from 1406, while the year 1419 is the first year that, after a hectic time, relieved the members of the Chapter from the duty of carrying out renovations and introducing major changes to the church. Procurators’ entries included in the manuscript enable us to research in the expenses of the Chapter in the above-mentioned period. They also allow us to recreate a picture of life around the church. Although preserved entries are not complete; they show that money was spent upon distributions, food, farms, financing trips and the collegiate church. The entries show that the money was spent church renovation and its furnishment, especially that connected with religious services, i.e. church bells, organs, clock, books, wax, incense etc. Consequently, the entries preserve information on craftsmen’s wages, incomes of those who manufactured the bells and the clock, and who profited most from the financial resources of the Chapter. According to the collected data, the record year of expenses on the collegiate was the year 1416 (over 57 marks), while the year 1407 is characteristic of the lowest sum of money spent on the church (under 1 mark). Building materials accounted for the highest sum in the year 1415 (12 marks), while the lowest was recorded in the year 1408 (under 1 mark). Craftsmen working at the collegiate site were paid most in 1416 (over 51 marks), while they took the lowest sum in 1411 (over 2,5 marks). At the same time, in the same year (1411) the highest sum was spent on furnishing the church (over 17 marks), while 8 year later members of the Chapter spent only 1 mark and 4 grosz’es. The sums spent on the up-keeping and furnishing of the church in the above-mentioned seventeen-years period were quite considerable. The total was almost 163,5 marks. Distribution expenses totalled at 208 marks. Another category of expenses (on farm up-keeping) amounted to only 94 marks. Consequently, it is clear that the problem of maintaining and embellishing the collegiate was of importance for the members of the Chapter.

The papal appeals reached Poland in all important matters connected with events or plans related to the Holy Land. The first call for taking part in the crusade to Jerusalem was dated from 1095. The next appeals went before the second, third, fifth and bloodless crusades. In the second half of the 13-th and in the first half of the 14-th centuries the papacy called on the Faithful to participate in the intended crusades. They were not usually realized. The popes told the priests to preach in order to encourage Poles to fight not only in Palestine but also elsewhere. They had the same privileges those ones as setting out to Jerusalem. They might fight with Slaves from Polabie, tribes from Prussia and Tatars. They could also help to keep and later to regain the Latin Empire. They might fight against some people: Bolesław the Bald and the antipope Robert. The papacy often demanded money from those one, who wanted to free themselves from the vows of taking part in crusades. There were other ways of helping the Holy Land. The popes imposed tithes and ordered to put money into money-boxes in churches. They claimed sums, which were bequeathed to Palestine. Indirect responses to the papal appeals for help the Holy Land, with money and deed, were donations for the orders originating from there. It was a form of buying oneself out of taking part in the crusades, on the other hand that money was sent to the East and might be used as means in fighting against Saracens. Such fundations were found in Silesia, Great Poland and West Pomerania. The mentions in the historical sources are the arguments that papal call not only were known in medieval Poland but also that the society responed to them.

Bezpieczeństwo żywności jest obecnie jednym z najważniejszych obszarów mających wpływ na zdrowie i życie człowieka. Współczesny konsument, posiadając dostęp do szerokiego asortymentu produktów żywnościowych, dokonuje zakupu kierując się posiadaną wiedzą na temat żywności, stylem życia, jak również czynnikami materialnymi. Nie bez znaczenia są również informacje pozyskiwane za pośrednictwem mediów o zagrożeniach związanych z żywnością. Celem artykułu jest próba oceny wiedzy konsumentów na temat bezpieczeństwa spożywanej przez nich żywności oraz stosowanych przez respondentów sposobów ograniczenia zagrożenia. Analiza danych wykazała, że wiedza konsumentów na temat bezpieczeństwa spożywanej przez nich żywności oraz występowania w niej potencjalnych zagrożeń jest niewystarczająca.

[The aim of the paper is to consider the concept of the happiness. The text refers to several literary examples of the happiness and characterizes “the spectacles of the happiness”. It shows (in the context of Blanchot’s words) manifold destructive practices associated with the happiness with reference to everyday life. The paper compares the life to the structure of the spectacle and analyses “the spectacles of the happiness” in the context of Goffman’s theory (scene and wings, shown and hidden activities). The article expresses criticism of the vision of life based on the spectacular happiness.]

The starting point of the study has been a survey of indices developed by international economic organizations. Such indices tend to encompass a number of qualitative/quantitative variables relating to economic viability, e.g. economic liberties, budgetary balance, judiciary, technical sophistication, social factors and innovation. Basing on the aforementioned data, the study has focused upon the comparison of both countries' competitive stances and permitted the formulation of certain economic policy guidelines with regard to Poland, which has underperformed Estonia in most of the rankings.
