The article presents the results of the research on the private book collection of J.I. Kraszewski whose historical novels were inseparably related to his gathering-antiquarian and scholarly editorial interests. The writer possessed a perfectly organized research workshop in the form of a rich and large library. It consisted of 10 233 items that included 14 389 volumes, 2 300 of which concerned the history of Poland. The analysis of historical novels allows for stating that while working on such books, Kraszewski used numerous sources and historical studies. He focused on sketching the background of the depicted epoch, presenting authenticcharacters and events. He paid less attention to purely romantic, fictitious elements that were the figments of imagination. His behaviour was in accordance with his theoretical views on historical novel. Kraszewski paid special attention to chronicles. The article presents the results of an analysis of one of the chronicles, namely the Chronicle written by a German prior, later a Merserburg bishop, Thietmar, which was written in the years 1012–1018 and a historical novel by Kraszewski Lubonie (1876). In the book, the author described the reign of Mieszko I, and focused on two important events: the attempts of concluding an alliance with Bolko and the issue of christianization of Poland. These events connect two dates: year 965 (arrival of Dubrawka to Poland) and 973 (the death of the Emperor Otto). It was established that the Chronicle by Thietmar provided Kraszewski with factual material that was used for presenting historical episodes, scenes and characters. Similarity of some fragments of the novel to the excerpts from the Thietmar’s chronicle (a few examples are provided) proves that Kraszewski used the chronicle while writing his book.

The author presents the circumstances of the rise and development of the conception that below the oldest cathedral church in Poznań is the site of a temporary or permanent baptistery as allegedly evidenced by a round limestone bowl. Attention is drawn to the fact that so far this conception has not been supported by analysis of the source material or a detailed study of the remains of the bowl itself or the architectural remains of the purported baptistery. The author makes a reassessment of hitherto claims and shows that the state of the source material does not allow us to uphold the hypothesis of the baptismal function of the limestone bowl from Poznań. The only hypothesis competitive to the baptismal one refers to 60 analogous objects, a majority of which are beyond doubt the remains of mechanical mortar mixers. The article shows that these examples can be treated as fully justified analogies to the bowl from Poznań. The text reviews the arguments of both sides of the dispute: the baptismal and “construction” claims. Weaknesses of the argument for the baptismal interpretation are exposed. Doubts raised by skeptics concerning the interpretation of the bowl as a mortar mixer are dispelled on the basis of analysis of analogous objects. The author concludes that the interpretation of the bowl as a mortar mixer is supported by numerous analogies whereas the baptismal conception lacks such support.

The impact of preaching on Polish religiousness and national culture is enormous. Sermons reached all the social classes. They were listened to by the king, by scholars and by the unlearned, by burghers and by peasants, and by the rich and by beggars. For the vast majority of Poles, sermons were the only source of faith and inspiration to live the Christian life. The first preachers limited themselves in their messages to reciting and simple lecturing: the Credo, the Ten Commandments, the Pater noster and the Ave Maria. They made an invaluable mark in forming Polish religious and literary language. The quality and frequency of the sermons depended on a church’s rank (i.e., if it was a cathedral, a collegiate church, a town church, a village church, a monastic church, etc.), the distance from cities and the educational environment. Hagiography and martyrology were read. Religious songs (a significant role was given to carmen patrum –Bogurodzica) played a great role to help with the transfer of faith as they strengthened the oral catechesis and were remembered by the listeners. The Christian moral lectures concentrated on virtues to be sought and vices to be avoided; emphasis was placed on the practice of merciful work and keeping the commandments, while devotion to Christ’s humanity, His Mother and the saints was cultivated.

Wpływ kaznodziejstwa na religijność polską i kulturę narodową jest ogromny. Kazanie docierało do wszystkich warstw społecznych. Słuchał go król, uczony i prostak, mieszczanin i chłop, bogaty i żebrak. Dla ogromnej większości Polaków było ono jedynym źródłem wiary i inspiracji do życia chrześcijańskiego. Pierwsi kaznodzieje ograniczali się w swoim przekazie do recytowania i prostego wykładu: Credo, dekalogu, Modlitwy Pańskiej i Zdrowaś, Maryja. Oddali nieocenione usługi w kształtowaniu polskiego języka religijnego i literackiego. Poziom wygłaszanych kazań i ich częstotliwość zależał od rangi kościoła (katedra, kolegiata, kościół miejski, wiejski, zakonny), odległości od miast i środowisk szkolnych. Czytano żywoty świętych i martyrologium. Wielką pomocą w przekazie wiary służyły pieśni religijne (doniosła rola carmen patrum – Bogurodzicy), które utrwalały katechezę ustną i zapisywały się w pamięci słuchaczy. W wykładzie moralności chrześcijańskiej skupiano się na cnotach, o które należało zabiegać, i na wadach, których trzeba było unikać; kładziono nacisk na praktykę dzieł miłosierdzia i zachowywanie przykazań; kształtowano kult człowieczeństwa Chrystusa, Jego Matki i świętych.
