The article presents the letters of Sidonius Apollinaris - Gallo-Roman aristocrat, poet and bishop. The study aims at analysing the letters of Sidonius from the point of view of their purpose, the models used, the argumentation, and the list of recipients to whom the letters are addressed. On the one hand, it shows that Sidonius remained faithful to his masters in epistolography (Cicero, Pliny the Younger, Symmachus), while on the other hand, was able to change the form of letters according to the situation. The paper also allows us to discern the changes that took place in the works of Sidonius after his ordination.

"Kallias-Briefe oder über die Schönheit" ("Listy o pięknie") stanowią fragment korespondencji wymienionej zimą 1793 roku między Fryderykiem Schillerem a jego przyjacielem, Christianem Gottfriedem Körnerem, wprowadzającej tego pierwszego w myśli filozoficzną Immanuela Kanta. Listy nie były przeznaczone do publikacji, stanowiły wymianę myśli na temat piękna, jakie zrodziły się po lekturze "Krytyki władzy sądzenia". W przyszłości miały stanowić trzon schillerowskiej koncepcji estetycznej. Ponieważ jednak treść tych 9 listów (6 Schillera i 3 Körnere) tworzą zwartą całość, późniejsi wydawcy i komentatorzy pism Schillera nadali im wspólną nazwę. Myśli wyrażone w "Listach o pięknie" odsłaniają estetyczne zapatrywania Schillera, w których piękno jest zjawiskiem wolności w świecie przyrody i które znalazły swój wyraz w późniejszych esejach (np. "O wdzięku i godności", "O wzniosłości"). Można zatem ująć "Kallias-Briefe" jako zarys koncepcji pięknego człowieczeństwa, wyrażony w późniejszych pismach Schillera.

"Kallias-Briefe oder über die Schöheit" ("Letters on Beauty") are fragments of the series of letters exchanged in winter 1793 between Fryderyk Schiller, the German playwright, poet and philosopher, and his friend Christian Gottfried Körner, who introduced the German poet to the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The letters not being intended for publication were just the exchange of thoughts and ideas concerning the value of beauty, the ideas that originated after reading Kant`s "Critique of Judgment". They were meant to become the core of Schiller`s theory of aesthetisc. Since the content og those 9 letters (of with 6 were written by Schiller himself and 3 by Körner) is a coherent whole, the publishers and commentators of Scholler`s writing gathered them under one title and since then they have been treated as such a whole. It is widely recognized that the views on aesthetics that found their shape in the "Letters on Beauty" aer a sketch of an announced yet never written essay on beauty. They express Schiller`s original aesthetic standpoint acording to which beauty is a phenomenon of freedom perceived in the world of phenomena of nature; we can find the same idea in the subsequent works by Schiller (such as "Anmut und Würde" and "Über des Erhabene"). Thus "Kallias-Briefe" can be seen simply as an introductory sketch of the conception of the beautiful humanity found in the subsequent writings of the philosopher. From this perspective all the mechanism of development of the philosophical conception formed in the shape of elaborated and finished essays prepared for publication is easily visible.

This article aims to examine the ideological and social character of Hus’ letters. The literary form of his letters itself is unique and particularly interesting. In his letters Hus shows both diplomatic experience and friendly participation. Three questions are asked in the text: what are the main topics of his letters, if there is a firmness in his views during his incarceration in Constance, and also if it is possible to find a theological or ideological continuity with his previous more systematic texts. The letters demonstrate, in addition to other topics, Hus’ openness and friendly participation in particular. The continuity of his letters is solid, Hus, the Czech reformer, did not change his positions and attitudes during his stay at the Council. This could induce the conclusion that Jan Hus acts in his letters, even in those written in 1411, as more of a community leader with a clear vision as opposed to a theological reformer. The clear presence of his philosophical and theological ideas contained in his systematic treatises can be found in many of his letters.

The article is an examination of Basil’s teaching about faith and its impor­tance in his large correspondence. The bishop of Caesarea describes faith as the acceptance of the Gospel, the conviction of the truth of the message, a confession of one’s belief in the Trinity. The Cappadocian emphasizes faith as an accep­tance and conviction of the truth which comes from the inspired Scriptures and the teaching of the Nicaea. The confession of faith formulated by the Council of Nicaea constituted the essence of the truth of the Christian faith. The bishop of Caesarea indicates the importance of the baptismal formula for the formula­tion of the true Christian doctrine. During the baptismal rite the baptizand makes their confession of faith and is thus admitted into the community of the faithful. Basil’s teaching of initiation into the Christian mistery is dominated by his use of the word mean the apostolic doctrines which constitute what the „Great Church” taught and believed. The Cappadocian points to the danger of false and heretical assemblies (parasynagogues) and of the false teachers of the faith. It is presented as a way of knowing God. There is also one important emphasis in Basil’s thought which especially characterizes his view of the human steps in the concrete realiza­tion of it: the knowledge of God and faith in Him is manifested in love to God and one’s neighbor.

Sidonius Apollinaris was a member of the Gallo-Roman aristocracy in the 5th century. His letters are a valuable source of information about many aspects of life in Gaul in the final period of the Roman Empire. The article presents the public service performed by Sidonius for nearly 20 years, which he then abandoned in fa­vour of pastoral and Episcopal service, for a similar period of time. It aims to answer the question: what place did public service occupy in Sidonius’ life as a member of the Gallic aristocracy and what motivated him to take up an Episcopal ministry.

Th e archbishop maintained this relationship until his death in 1895 in Cracow. Th e ideals they shared made them close friends: faith in God, love for the Church, pastoral zeal, their worship for the Holy Mary, their love for their homeland and their belief in restoration of independent Poland. Archbishop Feliński was already canonized in 2009, while Father Łubieński is still waiting for his beatification.
