The paper presents three descriptions of the archives and chancery of the Koscian castle court (Grodamt) from the years listed in the title, included in the Koscian castle court records of the same years housed in the State Archive in Poznan. They were written down in the form of visitations (formal inspections) at the request of local chancery clerks. The first description is dated 31 December 1750 and presents the technical state of the brick or stone cellar adjacent to the wall of the parochial church in Koscian, serving as the archive of the castle court office. The second one, dated 5 May 1755, describes the changes introduced in it after renovation, the state of records preservation and devotes one sentence to the chancery. The last one, from 15 June 1772, deals only with the timber house of the chancery (stressing the damages done by Russian soldiers and Bar confederates during the years 1768-1772). Sources of this type allow to understand material and technical conditions in which a chancery and its archive functioned, as well as the state of preservation, ways of ordering and conserving their records.

The characters from the works af Father Janusz Stanisław Pasierb (1929-1993) are aware that they are part of the order af nature with its cycles af birth and death. Yet at the same time their human nature makes them rebel against the law that circumscribes their canditian. This rebellious impulse seems to express man's perennial desire to transform his transitary existence by venturing into the realm of artistic creatian. Art, which bears the reflection of its creators and their world, does immortalise, at least in sense of 'non omnis moriar'. This is why man has always sought in it a premise of salvation and release from the determinism of the natural world. Works of high culture born out of a longing for immortality are best suited to achieve permanence as in them the process of spiritualisation of matter proceeds most thoroughly. It is a process which affects all of man's products because each of them bear the imprint of his dual existential structure (matter and spirit). Far Pasierb art appears ta be culture's eternal 'now' because both artworks as well as man's achievements of all kinds reach out into a transcendent order.

In the 17th and the first half of the 18th century, manuscripts in Poland played a role nearly equal to that of print in promoting literary works and documents related to public life (political journalism, written newspapers, copies of speeches and letters by state dignitaries, copies of various official documents), in order both to inform the public and influence its opinion with regard to political events. This was accompanied by collections of such materials compiled at the instigation of and for the needs of private individuals. The collections varied considerably with regard to the selection and internal ordering of the documents as well as the appearance of the collections. This was a consequence of various motives behind the compilation of such collections and the functions they served. The least professional and systematic of them were the silva rerum manuscripts. This was connected to the nature of these manuscripts, which were also used to make various notes, copy fragments of works, recording management and medical advice, etc. In addition to the silva rerum sets, there were also collectors’ and documentary sets, compiled with a clear purpose of gathering and recording this type of materials. In some cases they took the form of multiple volume collections characterised by variety and richness of the material collected (hence the name miscellanea) and uneven level of editing. The most specialised form of manuscripts were thematic sets of source materials, with well thought-out contents and structure, and meticulous production. They had all the attributes of manuscript books, serving as source “publications” of sorts. The development of this type of source “publications” began in the late 17th century (e.g. collections of materials documenting the story of the 1696–1697 and 1733–1735 interregna) and continued during the reign of Stanislaw August Poniatowski (1764–1795).

The German sloboda (Nemetskaya sloboda) was one of the eight foreigners’ slobodas (quarters), i.e. autonomous administrative units in early modern Moscow. The German sloboda owed its name to its inhabitants: both ethnic Germans and members of other West European communities, who spoke languages incomprehensible to most Russians. Precursors to the German sloboda were ephemeral settlements for resettled people from Livonia and immigrants, established by tsars: Ivan IV the terrible (the latter half of the 16-th c.) and then by Boris Godunov (in the first decade of the 17-th c.) In the latter half of the 17th century, the tsars of the new Romanov dynasty, when rebuilding the Russian state from war devastation, used the help from foreign, mostly West European, craftsmen. Among the foreigners who were first settled in the new German sloboda on the Yauza river, there were predominantly military men; apart from them, there were also many representatives of different professions and occupations: translators, lawyers, physicians, teachers, tailors, jewelers, metallurgists, gunsmiths, etc. The inhabitants of the German sloboda were granted freedom of religion, they were exempt from tiaglo (most of feudal duties to the state), they were allowed to buy landed estates in Russia and conduct foreign trade. The inhabitants of the German sloboda contributed to the economic development of Russia, by laying the foundations of the local industry and organizing the postal system. The Germans also played a significant role in Russian culture by initiating transformations in fashions, painting, architecture, and by establishing theatre.

Johannes Hevelius (1611–1687), a famous astronomer from Gdansk, was also a collector and owner of a printing house in the city. He had a rich library collection, which helped him in his scholarly work. Some of his property, including the printing house and a large part of his book collection, was destroyed by the fire that broke out on the night of 26–27 September 1679. The surviving part of Hevelius’ private library as well as his post-1679 acquisitions have so far been documented by a manuscript catalogue kept at the Bibliothèque de l’Observatoire in Paris. After the astronomer’s death, his legacy became fragmented with time. A similar fate befell the book collection, which was auctioned in Gdańsk in 1688. The only copy of the printed auction catalogue for this collection is currently held by the University Library in Erlangen (Universitätsbibliothek Erlangen-Nürnberg). It lists 1715 titles of printed works and manuscripts in 1471 volumes as well as several astronomical instruments. It was a typical scholarly collection, dominated by books on astronomy, mathematics, mechanics and philosophy of nature by Hevelius’ European contemporaries, as well as the most important works dealing with these disciplines written from Antiquity until the 17th century. It was complemented by books on disciplines like law, history, theology, literature and literary studies.

Mlodziezowa Agencja Wydawnicza (MAW) was established by an ordinance of the chairman of the “Prasa-Ksiazka-Ruch” Workers’ Publishing Cooperative of 31 December 1973 as an entity which was part of the “Prasa-Ksiazka-Ruch” (“Press-Book-Movement”) media group. The foundation documents mentioned the takeover of the property and plans of the “Prasa Mlodziezowa i Sportowa” (“Youth and Sports Press”) publishing house. The aim was to establish a monopoly on the market for books and periodicals addressed to children and young people by taking over the “Horyzonty” (“Horizons”) Publishing House, “Iskry” (“Sparks”) State Publishing House and later also the Publishing Institute “Nasza Ksiegarnia” (“Our Bookshop”). These plans were implemented only with regard to the first of the companies in question. The MAW headquarters were located in Warsaw (successively at 46 Wilcza Street, 6a Koszykowa Street, 53 Aleja Stanow Zjednoczonych). In the early 1980s two regional branches were set up in Szczecin and Katowice. In late 1984 the MWA was expanded to include the “Glob” press cuttings office, the role of which was to gather and catalogue press documentation and make it available. The publishing house also had its own bookshop in Warsaw, at 62 Wilcza Street. An important role was played by a department conducting large-scale readership surveys. In 1985, a Record Club was founded, providing mainly pop music records, in editions about 5 thousand copies. Books and periodicals were printed mainly by a printing house which formed part of the “Prasa-Ksiazka-Ruch” group. The Agency also began to cooperate with similar publishing companies in neighbouring countries. Over the dozen or so years of its operations, the MAW placed nearly 1200 titles to the market with a total of about 55 million copies, a significant number of which were part of various series. Series that enjoyed great popularity included the “Tytus, Romek and A’Tomek” comic series by Henryk Jerzy Chmielewski. The MAW also published several dozen youth and sports newspapers and magazines (including the dailies “Sztandar Mlodych”, “Przeglad Sportowy” and “Swiat Mlodych”) of which a total of over 200 million copies were published annually.

The issues of building up and popularising public library collections are subjects of lively debates among librarians in France. The principles of the French policy of compiling collections were presented in 1991 in the Charte des bibliothéques (Library Charter) and in the brochure Acquisition et bibliothèques de service public published in 1998 by the Association of French Librarians. These documents, just like opinions expressed by respected librarians, show, first of all, a concern for high quality of the acquired collections, for their variety and usefulness for the needs of all readers. The French attach a lot of weight to making the collections available in various media, and to high substantive and artistic value of the acquired works. The popularity of such media as records, tapes, electronic documents, etc. has led to the emergence of a new type of libraries characteristic of France — called media libraries (“médiathèques”). The versatility of the French collections as well as their considerable variety in terms of the level of difficulty and the medium have a significant influence on the fulfilment of the basic functions of libraries (cultural, educational and informationrelated). The article examines the French collections supporting these functions. The French believe that just as important as building up collections is the duty of libraries to make these collections popular. This is to be achieved by animations organised on a regular basis. The article analyses the most common initiatives in this respect. In addition, the author points to the important role of the central government in boosting the development of public libraries in France (including promoting the idea of building up the collections in various media, of digitising them and creating digital databases), and to the coordinating function of the National Library with regard to the compilation of educational resources and successful regional and local cooperation between libraries and other institutions to create, among others, shared catalogues and databases.

The author demonstrates that finds of Helix pomatia L. shells cannot be connected with the Lusatian Culture strongholds from the Early Iron Age on Komorowska Island. These snail shells should be associated, at least in part, with the Early Medieval stronghold that stood on the island and possibly also in part with the Late Medieval occupation.
