The article concerns describing of Christianization of West Slavs in sources from the 11th and 12th cen. (e.g. Thietmar’s Chronicle, The Life of Otto of Bamberg). There not only individuals, but also whole groups of people (gentes) or countries (e.g. Pomerania) were included as Christian communities (Christianitas), and a permanent element in forming of these literary image was autonomous describing of both implications of conversion: individual and collective. The result of this phenomenon was crediting of the Christian identity to particular communities (e.g. Lutici) independently from the level of development of the conversion among the individuals. A theological idea of subordinating of whole peoples and countries to Christ, used by Christian monarchs and Church organization connected with them, played a crucial meaning for such interpretations.

(Polish title: Czy wroclawianie chcieli zmian? Sredniowieczne koncepcje dziejów miasta w wybranych dzielach historiografii wroclawskiej) The purpose of the article is to research into the way 'a change' was regarded by the local medieval historiography, and was it seen as an essential element of the history of the town. Three monuments of literature were chosen and analyzed: the first The Old Wroclaw Annals (from the first half of the 14th century), a chronicle by Peter Eschenloer (from the second half of the 15th century) and The Annals of Wroclaw Magistrate (from the beginning of the 16th century). The method chosen for the research is to analyze the references within the narrative and the presentation of the main problems crucial for the reception of ideas in the works. No elements, that would relate to the phenomenon of 'a change' in the survey of the history of the city, were found in The Old Wroclaw Annals. A change as an element necessary for the course of the history appears at the chronicle by Eschenloer, but it is not a focal point for forming the image of the past. The problem of choices made by the inhabitants plays an essential role. A change is only a derivative of the choices and is estimated lower than making steady and proper choices that not lead to any changes. A change as an essential problem does not appear within the annalistic entries in The Annals of the Wroclaw Magistrate, either. Stressing the meaning of 'a change' in forming the image of the history is, however, visible. Setup of the entries divides the history of the city into three periods: before it became part of the Kingdom of Bohemia, during disturbances in the 15th century, and after the end of the disturbances what was reached together with the coronation of Vladislav II for the king of Bohemia (1491). Thus, the meaning of 'a change' in the description of the past increased gradually. Further research is required, however, to answer the question, how 'a change' was estimated by general public.

This paper aims at genre and stylistic definition of the thirteenth-century Galician-Volhynian Chronicle both in the context of Russian medieval historiography and, above all, in comparison with contemporary genres of Latin historiography. Main attention is paid to a comparison between the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle and the so-called Second Sequel to Cosmas. Both texts are complementary in terms of facts, but they also show remarkable structural parallels: characteristic disruptions to chronological line, emphasis on dramatic narration, dominance of biographical principle and, in particular, historiographical metatext, i.e. commentaries by the authors on the methods of text-construction and selection of information. The comparison of the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle with the texts of Central European provenance suggests that analogous genres emerged in the same time in different literatures, which were without direct contact. The texts crossed traditional genre borders of annals (consisting of annual brief records) and tended towards dramatic, literary valuable reading that resisted the strictly chronological patterns. Those texts, however, did not assume yet the form of a chronicle, which would have presented the readers with a comprehensive vision of history underlined by a worldview of the author.
