In the southern porch of the Poznań cathedral there is a swinging door etched in bronze and brass, made in 1972. Together with a bronze bas-relief placed above, it was the most important element of the decoration of the passage from the residence of Poznań archbishops to the cathedral. Both artworks were made by Ireneusz Daczko and Bogdan Fijałkowski – graduates of the Poznań Academy of Fine Arts. Their project was inspired by Rev. Stefan Tomaszkiewicz, who supervised construction work in the cathedral, and Rev. Bolesław Dzierwa, involved in the restoration of the cathedral in Gniezno. Both priests developed an original iconographic program of the porch decoration, based upon angelistic, christological, and mariological symbolism and texts in Polish, Latin, and Greek. The figures of archangels Gabriel and Michael in the door panels have a border with inscriptions, monograms, angels, and zoomorphic motifs, and objects intertwined with climbing plants. The decoration of the door and the bas relief showing the Assumption of Mary includes many references to the liturgy of the breviary, and points to the clergy as the recipients of the ideas represented in the porch iconography. The main argument of the paper is that the iconography of the Poznań door derives from the texts by Lech Kalinowski and, above all, Zdzisław Kępiński, who in his article, “The Symbolism of the Gniezno Door,” was the first to emphasize the significance of the border and the connection of its decoration with the correspondent figural panels of the bronze Gniezno door.

This paper outlines major research paradigms in Polish archaeology underpinning the so-called millennium research project conducted between 1948/1949 and 1970. The main focus of this study is the Poznań research centre. The millennium project was an answer to the 1000th anniversary of the Polish State and the Baptism of Mieszko I, the first historical ruler of Poland, celebrated between 1965 and 1966. The research paradigms of the then archaeology were noticeably determined by research issues explored by the historiography of the Middle Ages. First independent archaeological studies on the early Piast state (regnum) were conducted only in the late twentieth century. Their results were based on archaeological evidence from the so-called millennium research in Wielkopolska. During carefully planned and methodically conducted excavations conducted by archaeologists from the Poznań centre, archaeological sources were impeccably recovered, documented and very well preserved along with the field data and documentation.
