An important center of economic life located on the Polish-Ukrainian border, Lvov offers the opportunity to conduct research into the history of small ethnic groups living in that area since the early Middle Ages. Greeks can be referred to as a tight group with their own ethnic identity, and at the same time living permanently in Lvov, since the second half of the 16ᵗʰ century. Although they arrived here after the fall of Constantinople, in 1453, being Orthodox Christians, they were forced to choose between losing their religious identity and joining a group of Orthodox Ruthenians for a long time. The diversity of the Greeks living in Lvov in the 16ᵗʰ and 17ᵗʰ centuries – analyzed in the article – is reflected in the activity of this group, among which we can distinguish temporal merchants, merchants with permanent shops, teachers, craftsmen and others.

Lwów będący ważnym centrum życia ekonomicznego na pograniczu polsko-ukraińskim daje doskonałą okazję do badań nad historią małych grup etnicznych mieszkających na tym terenie od czasów wczesnego średniowiecza. O Grekach jako zwartej grupie, posiadających własną tożsamość etniczną, a mieszkających na stałe we Lwowie, możemy mówić od drugiej połowy XVI wieku. Chociaż przybywali tutaj już po upadku Konstantynopola w 1453 roku, to przez długi czas jako chrześcijanie prawosławni zmuszeni byli wybierać między utratą tożsamości religijnej a przyłączeniem się do grona prawosławnych Rusinów. Zróżnicowanie Greków mieszkających we Lwowie w XVI i XVII wieku – poddanej analizie w niniejszym artykule – odzwierciedla aktywność tej grupy, wśród której wyróżnić można kupców, przyjeżdżających czasowo, kupców posiadających stałe placówki, nauczycieli, rzemieślników i innych.

This article deals with the co-operation among the Lvov historians studying education system and upbringing within the ministry’s Board for Studies on the History of Upbringing and Education in Poland, operating between 1919 and 1929. Its management was seated in Cracow and it was led by the president of the Polish Academy of Learning, Kazimierz Morawski. As far as the co-operation between the Lvov division and the Cracow headquarters is concerned, the publishing, personal and organizational issues were of the main importance. The first ones were the source of tension connected with far greater expectations for publishing works by the members of the division than it was possible considering the existing Board funds. The leading project undertaken by the Lvov historians, i.e. the history of Galician education system, was not realized, although works had been initiated. The issue of this ambitious endeavour influenced the management’s attitude towards the members of the Lvov division. It was impossible to become more effective due to lack of funds and personal conflicts. In Lvov there were not many fully professional researchers dealing with the history of education and upbringing, thus delays in approving candidates by the headquarters were treated as an obstacle to the works of the division. Its members did not compare their organization to the newly founded divisions in Poznan, Lublin and Vilnius but they referred their potential to Cracow and Warsaw, stating that their efforts were underestimated. The first president of the Lvov division, Kazimierz Twardowski gave up his post after less than two years. His successor, Ferdinand Bostel resigned even faster. Establishing a federation of equal divisions with more representative management was proposed along with the possibility to have an independent publishing and personal policy. Issuing new publishing series (source materials and school monographs) was suggested. Co-operation in this matter between the Cracow headquarters and the ministry of education completely paralyzed the efforts of the Lvov-Warsaw fronde. However, the Lvov historians succeeded in organizing the 150th anniversary of the National Education Board and the death of Stanislaw Konarski celebrated in 1923 and commemorated with publishing a memorial book. After that there was a year-and-a-half break in the work of the division caused by the withdrawal of the most active members. The division was revived but Stanislaw Lempicki’s efforts aiming at enlivening works in the second half of the 1920s did not bring satisfactory results. The horrible situation of the Board deprived of the ministry’s grants and the possibility to print publications meant mere vegetation of the divisions. All this indicated a still relatively weak integration of the circles of Polish education and upbringing historians.

The author of this article presents the didactic-educational and social activity as well as some aspects of private life of one of the most eminent Lvov scientists working at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Kazimierz Twardowski, who came to Lvov in 1895 to run the department of philosophy. He spent over 40 years in the city on the Poltva river and those years were filled with continuous work for the adepts of philosophical arts and dedicated to preparing professional researchers in philosophy. He managed to build a school not only thanks to his own abilities but also thanks to the university environment, in which he found a group of people thinking alike and sharing common values. Twardowski, who belonged to the group of researchers described as “people-institutions”, was warmly welcomed and supported by an outstanding professor in the Austrian history department and an extraordinary modern-history researcher in Lvov, Ludwik Finkl. They developed true friendship which lasted until the end of Finkl’s life (1930). It does not mean that there were no difficult moments in that relationship and that they agreed on every subject. They were able to distinguish between friendship and support. They highly valued their friendship, also in times when they argued or were supporting opposing sides of various issues. Their friendship was based on deep respect, all the more deeper because it assumed open and honest communication of different viewpoints in their arguments. This is the reason why Twardowski’s letters to Finkl are a valuable source of knowledge and their value is even higher if we consider the fact that in majority they come from the period when the philosopher ceased to continue his “Diary”. The article discusses the most important issues mentioned in their correspondence and they seem to be the ones indicated in the title of the article. The author is building a context for them, which allows to understand the views expressed by Twardowski, as well as certain actions taken by him.

The structure of the present work is based both on chronology and theme. The main research problem of the article is to establish the facts about the functioning of the administrative apparatus of the Polish Army in the General District “Lvov”. All of the elements related to the organizational structure of the District Command are discussed included. Additionally, By the way, the author attempts to reconstruct the data concerning the personal department of the district’s management was reconstructed. Between 1919-1921 the General District “Lvov” was one of several military units in Poland. The administration of the subject area, which covered 37,400 square km, belonged to the commander General District “Lvov” Command located placed in Lvov. According to the public list from 1921 almost 3,5 mln people lived within the this military district’s borders frontiers. For the whole discussed period the General District Command “Lvov” was the main war institution in East Lesser Poland (Małopolska). Although the successive commander standing on the district’s head had different prerogatives and competence. In general, they controlled material, money and tax economy of these formations and they were concerned with discipline and order. The essential aim of the district’s commander chief was the constant cooperation with both representatives of the authorities and the local people.

Stanisław Kot, one of the creators of the history of education as a scientific discipline, studied at the University of Lvov between 1904 and 1909. His special line was classical philology, Polish philology and, for two terms, legal studies. The hitherto written relevant historical and educational literature does not address these issues in detail – Kot’s professional life in Cracow is far better known and elaborated. However, on the basis of the analysis of the Lvov archival material from the State District Archive in Lvov (primarily student catalogues and examination protocols for doctoral examinations), it is possible to reconstruct the course of studies of this well-known historian of education until the very last stage of his doctoral achievements, i.e. his successful defense of his dissertation in 1909. The scope of this study was fairly wide. The comprehensive and extensive knowledge in the history of literature, both Polish and general, history, pedagogy, philosophy and psychology that he gained in Lvov, as well as the excellent knowledge of the Polish language and classical languages, formed a firm base for Kot to pursue professional career on his own. It was the Lvov scholarly environment that shaped him as a researcher and scholar and made it possible for him to not only debut as a scholar but also to encounter and come into contact with scholars from the academic centers of Cracow. Thanks to his brilliantly-written doctoral dissertation, supervised by Wilhelm Bruchnalski and Józef Kallenbach from Lvov, and to his first publications in the   periodical “Muzeum” (which he presented at a pedagogical seminar prepared by Bolesław Mańkowski), S. Kot quickly gained a reputation as a precise scholar among the university circles of the town. Also in the later period of his professional career he remained in close contact with his former university lecturers and cooperated with them, for example, on the work on the successive volumes of the publication of book series Biblioteka Narodowa (National Library).

Andrzej Pronaszko, Wspomnienia. Obrona Lwowa

EN
Andrzej Pronaszko’s text in the current issue of Pamiętnik Teatralny is a previously unpublished account of the artist participation in the defence of Lvov in 1918. It is a part of the memoirs written by the artist in the 1950s, the manuscript of which is being kept in the collection of the Theatre Museum in Warsaw. Among other things, Pronaszko recalls how he fought for the Citadel and Main Post Office, how he helped to stop a military’s drinking bout in a villa in Sykstuska Street, and how, in recognition of his merits, he was sent to the critical Bem Sector with the mission to establish order and discipline among the soldiers. He also claims that he took command of the left wing and managed to regain possession of the Wolność (Freedom) Street. Andrzej Pronaszko’s notes are a valuable source for his biography and an addition to historical studies and literature devoted to the Defence of Lvov. They require, however, critical reading and careful comparison with other historical sources.

Current research on Rococo sculpture in Mazovia and northern Lesser Poland has not taken into consideration Lvov Rococo sculpture. A total of thirteen works by a yet unidentified woodcarving workshop, probably of Lvov provenance, was located at the intersection of these two artistic regions, in the vicinity of Końskie, Opoczno, Przysucha and Rawa Mazowiecka. Its activity, commenced after 1780 in Pełczyska near Wiślica, lasted until ca. 1800, when the reredoses and lesser works of sculpture in Studzianna-Poświętne, Skrzyńsko, Nowy Kazanów, Końskie, Gowarczów, Drzewica, Rawa and Regnów were created. In formal terms, the anonymous “Master of Pełczyska”, as an epigone of the Lvov school of Rococo sculpture, shows a far-reaching dependency on the style of sculptures similar to that in the side altar of the Virgin Mary of Dzików in Tarnogród, in the Zamoyski family fee tail. This reredos was indirectly attributed to master Franciszek Olędzki from Lvov (active since 1771, d. 1792). The oeuvre of the “Master of Pełczyska” constitutes the second-largest assembly of Lvov Rococo sculptures outside the historical Ruthenian lands of the Crown of Poland. At the current stage of research, the discussed works, located at the intersection of the former Sandomierz and Rawa voivodeships, indicate the maximal influential range of these remarkably mobile artists towards the north-west of the Crown of Poland. Their migrations were directly connected, on the one hand, with the artistic crisis that followed the First Partition of the Commonwealth in 1772 and the annexation of Lvov by Austria, and, on the other hand, with the liquidation of monasteries after 1780 and the termination of existing ecclesiastic commissions. The short-lived activity of this workshop in the vicinity of Rawa is an important contribution to the research on the mosaic of external influences on provincial late Rococo sculpture in the fourth quarter of the 18th century in Mazovia.

Ever since the first public seat of learning was founded in antique Alexandria – famed for Euclid, Archimedes and Herophilos – inventors and innovators of diverse orientations have banded together at particular places around the globe. Today, the most prominent of them is the San Francisco Bay area. What make creative people cluster in those places? Numerous studies have shown that they are attracted primarily, not by any material benefits, but by the ambience of the place, where creativity has become a way of life, where inspiration is derived from a heterogeneous environment. In conclusion, the author draws up a psychological portrait of the creative class and considers its development prospects.

In this paper I analyse the ways in which the traditions of the old Lvov are reconstructed and incorporated into the fl ow of culture. I do so using as an example the works of three young Ukrainian artists: Olya Kravchenko, Uliana Nyshchuk-Borysiak and Ostap Lozinsky. Special attention is devoted to a project called “10 х 10 сто wIkon Львова”, in which the artists focus on the painter’s iconographic interpretation of selected events, legends and stories from city’s history.

The author of this article discusses the first period of functioning of one of the more significant social publishing foundations in Galicia, namely Macierz Polska in Lvov. Established in 1882 on the initiative of Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski, for the next eleven years it operated with Antoni Malecki, literature historian and retired professor of the Lvov University as its president. At that time more than 60 publication appeared, which might not have been an impressive number but statutory limitations, difficulties with obtaining valuable and original works – which was strongly insisted on – peasants’ reading needs not quite awoken yet, greatly influenced this fact. The Lvov foundation since its beginnings attempted to combine two goals, namely the practicalpragmatic one and the religious -national one. The former was realized by means of publishing works allowing to modernize farms, increase their incomes, facilitate the use of technologicalcivilizational achievements. The latter allowed to widen the viewpoint of the peasant reader onto the issues of the national community, its past and other factors uniting the nation such as religion and language. The fact that the foundation was managed by a literature historian and medieval researcher influenced the profile of publications. One third of the offer constituted historic and historic-religious readings being of mostly biographical character. Relatively easy for less educated receiver, they made their readers acquainted with the greatest Polish monarchs and leaders (Kazimierz the Great, Jadwiga Angevin, Wladyslaw Jagiello, Stanislaw Zolkiewski, Jan Tarnowski, Stefan Czarniecki, Jan Sobieski, Stanislaw August Poniatowski, Tadeusz Kosciuszko) and saints (st. Wojciech, st. Kinga, st. Brunon, st. Jan Kanty). Efforts were made to reach for heroes representative for various historic periods. Old, complete elaborations of Polish history written by Izabela Czartoryska and Wladyslw Ludwik Anczyc were also reprinted. The publishing programme also included works presenting selected persons and events from the world history. Masterpieces of national literature were represented by Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz and Piesn ziemi naszej by Wincenty Pol. Press titles issued by Macierz Polska were “Niedziela” (“Sunday”), “Kalendarz MP” (“MP Calendar”) and subsided ”Gospodarz Wiejski” (“Country Farmer”). Although they gained a certain numer of permanent subscribers, among which the majority we the peasants, they fought for survival.

Autorka omawia w artykule pierwszy okres funkcjonowania jednej z ważniejszych społecznych fundacji wydawniczych w Galicji, jaką była Macierz Polska we Lwowie. Założona w 1882 r. z inicjatywy Józefa Ignacego Kraszewskiego, przez kolejnych jedenaście lat działała pod prezesurą emerytowanego profesora Uniwersytetu Lwowskiego, Antoniego Małeckiego. W tym czasie ukazało się ponad 60 publikacji, co nie było liczbą imponującą, ale ograniczenia statutowe, trudności z pozyskiwaniem wartościowych i oryginalnych opracowań, słabo jeszcze rozbudzone potrzeby czytelnicze wśród włościan miały na to przemożny wpływ. Lwowska fundacja usiłowała godzić cel praktyczno-pragmatyczny z religijno-narodowym. Pierwszy realizowano przez wydawanie prac pozwalających unowocześniać wiejskie gospodarstwa, zwiększać ich dochodowość, ułatwić korzystanie ze zdobyczy techniczno-cywilizacyjnych. W drugim chodziło o rozszerzanie światopoglądu chłopskiego czytelnika o sprawy narodowej wspólnoty, jej przeszłości oraz innych czynników spajających naród, takich jak religia i język. Kierowanie Macierzą Polską przez historyka literatury i mediewistę nie pozostawało bez wpływu na profil wydawnictw. Stanowiące trzecią część oferty prace historyczne oraz historycznoreligijne miały głównie charakter biograficzny. Atrakcyjne dla słabiej wykształconych odbiorców, zapoznawały czytelników z największymi polskimi władcami, wodzami, świętymi. Sięgano do bohaterów reprezentatywnych dla różnych okresów historycznych. Wydano też całościowe opracowania dziejów Polski pióra Izabeli Czartoryskiej i Władysława Ludwika Anczyca. Do programu wydawniczego włączono również dziełka prezentujące wybrane postaci i wydarzenia z historii powszechnej. Narodową literaturę reprezentowały Pan Tadeusz Adama Mickiewicza oraz Pieśń o ziemi naszej Wincentego Pola. Tytuły prasowe: „Niedziela”, „Kalendarz MP”, oraz subwencjonowany „Gospodarz Wiejski” zdobyły sobie pewną liczbę stałych prenumeratorów, wśród których przeważali włościanie, ale faktycznie walczyły o przetrwanie. Jakkolwiek warunki dla realizacji inicjatyw obliczonych na podnoszenie poziomu kultury umysłowej niższych kręgów społeczeństwa Galicji wschodniej nie były łatwe, kierującym Macierzą udało się niemało osiągnąć. Było to możliwe nie tylko dzięki zaangażowaniu uczonych i społeczników, ale i finansowemu wsparciu otrzymywanemu od Sejmu Krajowego i Rady Miasta Lwowa.

The text presents the scholarly and popular science output in the field of regional history produced by Łucja Charewiczowa, a female Lvovian historian of the inter -war period. There is a discussion of the most important works of the Researcher in this field, with special emphasis on their conceptualisation, construction, empirical approach and literary qualities. The outline also constitutes an attempt to present the peculiar nature of Charewiczowa’s writings in the context of the regional history works (the social, historical and economic orientation, a strongly marked presence of female figures, educational and patriotic aspects). Moreover, it also emphasises the research and narrative approaches of the Lvovian author which were ground -breaking in Poland.

Artykuł został poświęcony cyrylickim starym drukom tetraewangelii drukowanym we Lwowie. Głównym jego celem było uściślenie liczby wydań zawierających wyłącznie tekst Ewangelii (bez pozostałych ksiąg Pisma Świętego). Informacje zawarte w katalogach i publikacjach naukowych wskazały, że do 1800 roku cyrylickie tetraewangelie drukowano około 120 razy, w tym jedenaście razy we Lwowie. Weryfikacja tych informacji umożliwiła uściślić dokładną liczbę liturgicznych Ewangelii wydanych we Lwowie: siedem w oficynie Bractwa Stauropigialnego pw. Zaśnięcia Bogurodzicy i jedna w zakładzie Michała Ślozki.

In 1939, many Polish well-known writers were in Lvov. After the Soviet invasion on the Eastern territories of the 2nd Polish Republic, part of them, mainly those holding communist views, started to collaborate with the invader and its occupying forces. In that group happened to be a person, famous before the war – Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński. A well-known writer and translator, pediatrician by profession (he abandoned his profession), lent his name and endorsed the propaganda activities of the Soviet authorities, and also put his signature under declarations accepting Russian aggression against the 2nd Polish Republic and incorporation of the Eastern borderlands to the USSR. Boy-Żeleński wrote many articles to Polish-language, Soviet collaborationist rags published in Lvov, as “Czerwony Sztandar”, or “Nowe Widnokręgi”. He participated in numerous propaganda meetings and rallies. At that time in Lvov and other places of the occupied Polish territories, mass arrests were taking place, as well as transportations of many thousand people to Russia, evictions, executions, and other methods of horrible repressions. After Germans entered Lvov, Boy was arrested and murdered by new invaders on 3 July, 1941.

At the time of our study, more than five hundred days had passed since the beginning of the Russian occupation of Ukraine. Given the sufficient time gap and the significant amount of media output, I can thus analyse a unique phenomenon that appeared in the Slovak media shortly after the beginning of the occupation – the appearance of previously unused variants of the names of the cities Kyjev or Kyjiv [Kyiv], Charkov or Charkiv [Kharkiv], and Ľvov or Ľviv [Lviv]. Through a quantitative analysis, we focused on media content across publishing houses N Press (Denník N), Petit Press (SME), OUR MEDIA SR (Pravda) and news portals www.tasr.sk and www.sita.sk. As a follow-up to the performed analysis, I directly confronted representatives of individual media with the findings, including ascertaining the motivations and reasons that led the editors to change, or persistence in using the original names. In the study, I also point out the phenomenon of the emerging language problem, which is already occupying the attention of linguists today.

W artykule przedstawiono sylwetkę ppłk. dr. pil. Józefa Leoszko (1894-1948), jednego z pionierów i twórców polskiej medycyny lotniczej. Urodził się w Wilnie, w czasie I wojny światowej zaangażował się w działalność konspiracyjną Polskiej Organizacji Wojskowej, od końca 1918 r. służył w Wojsku Polskim. W 1919 r. jako żołnierz 41. Suwalskiego Pułku Piechoty brał udział w walkach o wyzwolenie Lidy i Wilna, a w 1920 r. w wyprawie na Kijów i obronie Warszawy. Dyplom lekarza uzyskał w 1924 r. na Wydziale Lekarskim Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. Był pierwszym w historii polskich sił powietrznych lekarzem, który ukończył szkolenie lotnicze i w 1925 r. uzyskał tytuł pilota. Swoje doświadczenia lotnicze i wiedzę medyczną nabytą podczas studiów w Uniwersytecie Warszawskim, wykorzystywał w badaniach naukowych jako pracownik Centrum Badań Lekarskich Lotnictwa w Warszawie. W swoich publikacjach naukowych skupiał się głównie na szeroko rozumianych zagadnieniach dotyczących bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego pilotów i z całą pewnością przyczynił się do rozwoju medycyny lotniczej w Polsce. W czasie II wojny światowej był lekarzem Polskich Sił Powietrznych w Wielkiej Brytanii. Zmarł w 1948 r., pochowany na Cmentarzu Lotników Polskich w Newark w Anglii.

Lvov typographies in the first half of the XVIIth century made efforts to promote and increase the level of teaching in the Kyiv Metropolitanate. Reformers from Lvov led a crusade to renew the custom of proclaiming the Word of God, including through the selection and printing of appropriate patristic translation works and various church books, which were escorted by paratexts, intended for priests (including for church teachers). They also put a lot of effort into forming teachers who were characterized by an appropriate level of knowledge and moral values. These efforts were an important part of the reform which also was undertaken in other educational and publishing centers (or by independent publishers) and directed at the revival of a priest’s teaching service in the Kyiv Metropolitanate.

Lwowskie typografie już w pierwszej połowie XVII wieku podjęły starania o rozpropagowanie i wzrost poziomu nauczania w metropolii kijowskiej. Reformatorzy ze Lwowa prowadzili krucjatę na rzecz odnowy zwyczaju przepowiadania słowa Bożego m.in. poprzez dobór i druk odpowiednich patrystycznych dzieł przekładowych oraz rozmaitych ksiąg cerkiewnych, które eskortowane były przez nauki paratekstowe, przeznaczone dla kapłanów (w tym również dla cerkiewnych nauczycieli). Włożyli wiele wysiłku w uformowanie nauczycieli, odznaczających się odpowiednim poziomem wiedzy i moralnymi walorami. Starania te były ważną częścią składową reformy podjętej także w innych ośrodkach oświatowo-wydawniczych (lub przez samodzielnych wydawców) i ukierunkowanej na odrodzenie nauczycielskiej posługi kapłana w metropolii kijowskiej.

In the late 19th century, the larger cities in Galicia including the capital city of Lvov followed the example of large centres in the Habsburg empire where private, licensed funeral parlours were established, rendering comprehensive funerary services. In the first decade of the 19th century, the Lvov authorities decided to affect the prices of funerary services. One of the reasons was intention to offer standard funerary services to the city’s poor inhabitants. The magistrate’s goal was to have its own communal funeral parlour which would also handle funerals of the city’s less affluent inhabitants. In 1909, the “Concordia” Municipal Funeral Parlour started operations. In the Polish community in Lvov, the burial ritual was directly related to the Catholic tradition. In the last two decades of the 19th century, an obituary published in the press made its way to the burial ritual in Lvov in the form still used today i.e. information about the death and the date of the funeral, sometimes also about a memorial service, graphically marked with a thick black border with a cross. The funerary ritual which emerged at that time remained largely unchanged in the Second Polish Republic (1918–1939). The situation changed after WWII when Lvov was under the Soviet and Ukrainianrule. While in this difficult time the Catholic church was persecuted, Poles living in Lvov made an effort to invite a priest to funerals of their next of kin.

The article reveals new facts from the life of the graphic artist and printer Jan Filipowicz, who in 1757–1766 ran a company comprising printing and engraving houses and a bookshop. Despite the fact that Filipowicz was a popular book illustrator in the eastern part of Poland, so far we have had very little information about his professional activities and private life. Drawing on documents from the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv (Центральний Державний Історичний Архів Украіни у Львові) — Filipowicz’s will and two posthumously compiled versions of his property inventory — and of the basis of contemporary Polish and Ukrainian literature, the author has managed to establish and put in order many facts concerning the life of the typographer and the operation of his company.
