The article is an analysis, set against the social background, of the functioning and role of paid lending libraries in facilitating access to books among residents of Lviv. The author presents the organisational principles behind these libraries, rules governing their use, and published catalogues, demonstrating similarities and differences in their compilation, size of the collections as well as their language and content structure. The author examines selected book catalogues: of F.H. Richter's lending library from 1868 and 1873, K. Wild's library from 1877, A.D. Bartoszewicz's library from 1877, J.L. Pordes' library from 1885, H. Altenberg's library from 1890 and S. Köhler's library from 1893. Paid lending libraries offered first of all fiction, especially the latest prose by contemporary Polish and European writers. The most numerous group was made up of works by Polish writers: J.I. Kraszewski, J. Zachariasiewicz, M. Balucki, E. Orzeszkowa, P. Wilkonska and T.T. Jez. These were complemented by adventure and crime novels, and thrillers by European authors (M.S. Schwartz, M. Jókai, A. Dumas, Ch.P. de Kock, E. Sue and É. Gaboriau). There was a rich collection of translations of French and Swedish works, as well as various editions of works by Russian, Hungarian and, to a lesser extent, German writers. There was much less poetry and drama. Readers were not much interested in scientific and popular scientific literature (27% to 9.3% of the collections). Clearly dominant in this group were historical books, including memoirs, particularly those dealing with national uprisings. Their role was to boost people's national spirit. Paid lending libraries at Lviv bookshops were open to the general public. Although they required subscription, they enabled readers to remain in touch with the latest publications at a much lower cost than in the case of purchasing the books. A comparison of the collections held by Lviv libraries with those made available in the part of Poland under Russian rule reveals a clear similarity in the choice of books and thus a similarity in the readers' tastes.

Zygmunt Igel (1880-1944) was one of the most distinguished antiquarian booksellers in Lviv, who continued the tradition of a bookseller family going back to the 18th century. He began working alongside his father, Leib Igel, in the early 20th century. In the inter-war period he became independent and ran an antiquarian scholarly bookshop in Batory Street 34, well-known throughout Poland. Zygmunt Igel's work and professional contacts are reflected in the so-called Igel Archives, preserved in the collection of the Vasyl Stefanyk Scientific Library of Ukraine in Lviv (formerly Library of the Ossolinski National Institute). The archives contain Igel's family documents, correspondence and address book from 1920-1930. These documents have made it possible to establish Igel's contacts and methods of working with clients who included Aleksander Brückner, Aleksander Birkenmajer, Franciszek Biesiadecki, Waclaw Borowy, Edward Chwalewik, Stefan Demby, Stanislaw Estreicher, Adam Krzyzanowski, Gabriel Korbut, Marian Lodynski, Jan Muszkowski, Ferdynand Ruszczyc, Aleksander Semkowicz and others.

The neo-Gothic Franciscan church in Jaslo was built between 1903 and 1904 to the design of Michal Luzecki, a Lviv architect, who also designed several neo-Gothic elements in the interior. It was the only sacred structure outside Lviv designed by the architect. Almost completely destroyed in WWII, it was a modest neo-Gothic church, consisting of a tower, a nave, and a chancel enclosed on three sides; there was no transept. Churches of this type were popular in Germany, and some examples are to be found in Poland as well. Studies suggest that Michal Luzecki was an architect of his times, straddling historicism and modernism. His knowledge and inventiveness allowed him to draw from a variety of neo-stylistic forms; his creative output includes designs inspired by the Middle Ages (the neo-Gothic church in Jaslo) and modern architecture (the neo-baroque Blessed Virgin Fountain in Lviv), as well as free interpretations of historical forms, in which a stylistic costume is used to serve a modern function (e.g. the water tower at the Eastern Trade Fair in Lviv). Luzecki was equally skilful in the use of various materials, such as stone, brick and wood (e.g. the celebrated Hunting Pavillion at the Fair). He did not shy from conservation tasks. Deep down, however, he was an artist on a constant quest for new means of expression, conscious of the impending artistic breakthrough; the designs and projects he undertook in the 20th century were already influenced by the spirit of art nouveau. Throughout his life, Luzecki enjoyed widespread esteem and authority, first as an employee and later as the director of the Urban Construction Office in Lviv, and a jury member in numerous architecture contests.

The article is dedicated to research of the oldest survived Cyrillic copy of Jerusalem Typikon of the last third of the 15th century. The author investigates the problem of its dating, localization of its origin and use. The paper also lists the names of the owners and describes the transfer of the manuscript from Russia to Ukrainian Lviv. The ignorance of the codex by researchers and a lack of publications prompted this scientific study based on a codicological analysis of the external and internal features of the manuscript with methods of the auxiliary sciences of history. The paper argues that the codex is a complex artifact of culture and history.

The Leopolis Collection (at the Museum of Independence) constitutes a valuable source of knowledge on the past of Lviv and its surroundings as well as the fate of the Polish people living there. Created in 1992 as a result of the efforts of borderland circles, its contribution is used for research by museum specialists, professional historians and researchers of the borderlands past. The artefacts, archival materials and publications collected there are made use of for preparing exhibitions, scholarly articles and monographs. These valuable collections in relation to exhibitions are still awaiting a systematic study. Research undertaken so far has borne fruit in the form of valuable monographs and studies, but there are many valuable materials still waiting to be unearthed. For the purposes of accessing the museum materials the creation of a Leopolis Collection catalogue is necessary so that its contents can be more broadly made use of – both in historical research and that pertaining to museum-based studies.

Origins, establishment and structure of St. Piotr Skarga Association were investigated in this work. The subject of study was one of many Polish social and educational organizations, that existed before the First World War in the self-governing Galicia (1866-1918). Undoubtedly it can be treated as a reply of Polish catholic intelligentsia to the development of socialism and changes of European civilization in early twentieth century. Moreover, the long tradition of continuous efforts made by Polish society to preserve its language and culture in the time of partitions, seems to be crucial to understand the background of an idea of creating the new organization. The association described in this work was established in July 1908 in Lviv. Founders were inspired by local Sodality of Our Lady and the order of Jesuits, further the organization was structurally connected with Catholic Church. Articles of Association were also confirmed by the local authorities of the Habsburg Empire. The organization was named after St. Piotr Skarga: sixteenth-century Polish priest, famous Jesuit preacher and patron saint of upbringing according to the spirit of Catholicism and patriotism. The final mission of the Association consisted in aiming at rebirth of Polish state, mainly by developing education and consolidation of Polish national identity. However in practice priority was given to the advancement of Polish literary output: belles-lettres as well as popular science and various kinds of press. Activities of the Association assumed the shape of editing and advertising literature, create libraries and organizing lectures. Social response to the occurrence of a new organization in Galicia is also analyzed in the article, especially in terms of accusation of competing with similar Polish association: Society of People’s Education. Finally the short history of the Association of St. Piotr Skarga up to the Second World War is presented in the end of the work.
