All parties involved in the conflict in Livonia in the mid-sixteenth century, wanted to profit from trade with the East, and strived to control the important strategic and commercial point - Riga. Proposals to surrender and guarantees to keep existing rights were made by envoys of Moscow Tsar Ivan the Terrible, the Danish prince Magnus, the Swedish King Erik XIV and the Polish King Sigismund Augustus. Despite the formal subordination of the Teutonic Order and the Archbishop, Riga led independent and even contrary to the actions of its feudal lords policy. In 1561, Riga did not follow them and did not make a tribute to the king on which Sigismund Augustus and Lithuanians counted. Control of the Daugava was in the vital interest of the Lithuanian nobles, who expected creation of navigable channel of corresponding importance to the Vistula River in the Crown and the increase in exports of raw materials from the northern part of principality. Riga made the submission to the new ruler conditional on a number of stipulations. In addition to the approval of the old privileges and religious freedom for the Lutheran confessions the city of Riga demanded a guarantee of protection against restrictions of the emperor and princes of the Reich, and the subordination of Livonia to Poland, not to Lithuania that was too weak in Riga’s opinion. The necessary guarantees were granted by so called "Cautio Radziviliana prior", issued by the governor of Vilna Mikołaj "The Black" Radziwiłł on September 8th , 1561. These promises were not fulfilled, so the delegation of the city of Riga had not make a tribute to Sigismund Augustus on November 28th, 1561, opposed to its superiors: Gotthard Kettler, and Archbishop Wilhelm and Livonian states. In this situation Radziwill tried to surrender Riga directly Sigismund Augustus. After lengthy negotiations, the city agreed to a "conditional" surrender and an oath of fidelity, which would have been in force only when the promises had been fulfilled. Promises were included in "Cautio Radziviliana posteriori", issued by Radziwiłł on March 17th, 1562. The reluctance of the Crown to engage in the affairs of Livonian, defeat of Lithuanian army and hollow promises caused that the city considered itself to be exempt from the oath to the king. The middle-class opposition was against subjection the city of Riga to Sigismund Augustus. They blocked submission to Lithuania and the King for fear of strengthening the position of the city council, the expansion of the nobility and loss of privileges. They were not so much against King’s sovereignty, as against any strong public authority. As long did the council need support of the guild in adopting contribution taxes for war, the army and the development of the fortifications, as long Riga ran a consistent, separatist politics. It was possible to 1581.

The Archives of the City of Riga, and particularly so called External Archives of Riga City Council (band No 673) deserves special attention of the Polish researcher while working in the holdings of the Latvian State Historical Archives. Documents and correspondence gathered in this fond allow to trace the presence of the "Polish factor" in Livonia and the city itself, the nature of contacts between the city authorities and Polish and Lithuanian dignitaries and the royal court, and finally to examine the meaning of Riga and Livonia for the economy and security of Poland. External Archives of Riga City Council are divided into four parts. In part 1, among the documents from about 1220 to 1869, are groups of archival documents from “the Polish era" such as: extensive correspondence between the city and fortress of Dźwinoujście (German Dünamünde), documentation of conflict with the Jesuits and urban riots (eg calendar riots 1584–1589), files related to the functioning of the Riga Castle, copies of for parliamentary acts regarding Riga and Livonia and governing system of Livonia, the city correspondence with Jan Zamoyski, the representatives of the Radziwill Family and Chodkiewicz Family, documentation of the negotiations on Riga’s surrender to Poland and the issues dealt by Sigismund III and General Commissioners with between 1598 and 1599. Part 2 contains documents from the years 1225–1585, among them only a few refers to the Polish times (these are mainly information concerning the acquisition of Livonia, Riga and property and privileges of Archbishop William Hohenzollern). Part 3 (Aulica – Polonica) contains hundreds of documents, arranged in chronological order (1560–1630). In this section one will find: the town petitions and instructions for Riga’s envoys to the Diet and regional diets, to kings, princes of Courland and Polish and Lithuanian nobles, coverage of the missions of Riga’s envoys, information about the progress of the Diet’s sessions, the decisions of rulers in the affairs of the city and correspondence on participation of Riga in hostilities in Livonia. The last part of the Archives no. 4 (Moscowitica-Ruthenica), contains documents from 1229 to 1708. With the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries there has been preserved mainly correspondence between Riga and Vitebsk and Polotsk and Lithuanian officials. It concerned the contentious issues (eg, the orthodox church of St. Nicholas taken into possession by Riga) and trade–related matters.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the references in documents attesting to the musical life of Catholics in Riga, as well as to present the only surviving musical source – an organ tablature compiled in the Jesuit community, now stored in the Uppsala universitetsbibliotek under the shelfmark Vok. mus. i hs. 88.

W artykule został podjęty temat muzyki religijnej w kręgu katolickim w Rydze w latach 1582–1621. Był to czas działań rekatolizacyjnych podjętych przez przybyłych tam jezuitów, który charakteryzował się licznymi konfliktami na tle religijnym i świeckim między rdzennymi mieszkańcami tego miasta – luteranami a katolikami. Celem artykułu jest omówienie wzmianek w dokumentach świadczących o życiu muzycznym katolików w Rydze, a także przedstawienie jedynego zachowanego źródła muzycznego – tabulatury organowej skompilowanej w środowisku jezuickim, obecnie przechowywanej w Uppsala universitetsbibliotek pod sygnaturą Vok. mus. i hs. 88.

In the holdings of AGAD are gathered and made available microfilms and photocopies of Polonica which originals are in foreign institutions. A database containing information about the content of this collection is available on the archives’ website. Data on over 4,750 documents of Polish provenance are gathered. Polonica’s originals that are available on microfilm and in photocopies are preserved in the collection of 107 institutions from 23 countries in Europe, Asia and North America, including archives and libraries of all the Baltic Sea countries, with the exception of Estonia. 2009 AGAD took up an initiative to systematize information about Polonica that are preserved in the collections of countries around the Baltic Sea, especially in the collections of the Swedish archives. It is a well-known fact that important part of the Polish archives were robbed and deported to Sweden during the Polish-Swedish wars. Only some of the archival materials were restored. Thanks to the openness of Swedish institutions it is possible to copy Polonica, and in this way to fill in the gaps in the holdings of Polish archives. Descriptions of archival digital copies of Polonica from archives, libraries and museums of the Baltic States will be collected in frame of a project implemented by AGAD The Electronic Repository of Polonica in the collections of the Baltic states. Its repository is available at the AGAD’s website. Currently the database contains information on Polonica and scans of documents from Riksarkivet in Stockholm and the Latvian State Historical Archives in Riga.

The aim of the paper is to present a biography of relatively unknown composer – Johann Valentin Meder. The title of this article indicates the composer’s penchant for changing places of living, which makes him unique among other baroque composers. He spent most of his life in three European cities: Reval (currently Tallinn), Gdańsk, and Riga. Born in Wasungen (Germany), he visited: Leipzig, Jena, Gotha, Copenhagen, Rotenburg, Kassel, Brema, Hamburg, Lübeck, Mitau, Kaliningrad (Königsberg), and Braunsberg. The lack of any sources in Polish deems this project worthy of scholarly investigation.

The article discusses the holdings of the princes of Courland Archives , which is stored - as fond 554 - at the Latvian State Historical Archives (Latvijas Valsts vestures arhivs) in Riga. So far, the Polish historians have used these records to a small extent., although this archive contains many valuable materials for the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 17th century. The most valuable Polonica include a vast collection of correspondence between the princes of the Kettlers Family and the Polish kings of the Vasa dynasty as well as with the leading representatives of the Polish and Lithuanian magnates. This collection includes some interesting source material for the history of the military conflict with Sweden, as of the campaign of 1621, until the end of the Second Northern War in 1660. Great value have also diplomatic records, mostly reports submitted by the representatives of the Kettlers at the royal court (especially of Jan III Sobieski), as well as documents showing the policy of the princes of Courland towards its neighbors (Poland, Moscow, Sweden, Brandenburg), and their attempts to appear neutral and independent in times of great conflict taking place in the 17thc. in this part of Europe.

The 450th anniversary of the union of Livonia with Poland and Lithuania, which was celebrated in 2011, was a good opportunity to recall that the Livonian territories being a part of Poland, were not an adminitrative unity; these were different units of different status. This is pictured in created at that territory source material and preserved archives. This text is devoted the archives of Piltene district (Districtus Regii Piltensis), that of the late 16th c. to 1795, was in connection with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but which history is relatively unknown. History of the Piltene district is an interesting picture of internal relations within the Polish-Lithuanian state. Similarly, history of the archive, which was the first time in Polish historical literature described by Gustav Manteuffel in 1884, is an interesting example of the fate of archival collections in the Central Europe over the past two centuries. Than it turned out in the 80s of 20th century that this archive is largely preserved in the Latvian State Historical Archives in Riga. The considerations in this article refer to the query performed in the archives of the Piltene district in connection with the preparation of monograph of the Piltene dietine (sejmik) from the years 1617-1717 that was published in 2004.

Artykuł bada relację z rosyjskiej okupacji Rygi w 1919 roku przedstawioną przez Monikę Hunnius. Opisuje ona przemoc i terror wojsk okupacyjnych wobec tzw. Niemców bałtyckich (Baltendeutsche) aż do chwili ich wypędzenia. Jednak nie chodzi tu jedynie o problem agresji. Recepcja Apokalipsy św. Jana jako swoistego subtekstu pozwala dostrzec agresywność w sferze języka. Agresywne strategie opisu są tu cechą charakterystyczną tekstu, apokaliptyczne obrazy przemocy służą do wyrażenia takich doświadczeń jak prześladowanie, strach i agresja.

The present paper contributes to the discussion of violence in literature and language. It investigates the report by Monika Hunnius which describes aggression and terror under Russian occupation in Riga in 1919. Thereby, the analysis concentrates on two aspects: violence as the subject of the text – terror of Russian soldiers against Germans (the so called ‚Baltendeutschen‘) – and violence as a quality of the language the report uses. The interpretation of the text focuses on Hunnius’ reception of the apocalypse in The Book of the Revelation to John. Hunnius draws on apocalyptical visions to express suppression, fear and aggression.
DE
Der Beitrag untersucht einen Erlebnisbericht der deutschbaltischen Autorin Monika Hunnius über die russische Besetzung Rigas im Jahre 1919. Geschildert werden Gewalt und Terror der Besatzungsmacht bis zu deren Vertreibung. Doch hier geht es nicht nur um das Thema ‚Aggression‘, sondern durch die Rezeption der Offenbarung des Johannes gewissermaßen als Subtext auch um sprachliche Aggressivität, um aggressive Darstellungsstrategien als Texteigenschaft, zumal die apokalyptischen Gewaltbilder sich als Ausdruck von Unterdrückungs-, Angst- und Aggressionserfahrungen zu erkennen geben.

Artykuł zawiera omówienie problemu podróży na podstawie powieści Waleria i tomu Wspomnienia o dzieciństwie i młodości Beate Barbary Juliane von Krüdener (1764–1824). Krüdener to francuskojęzyczna pisarka, urodzona w Rydze, pochodząca z zasłużonego rodu Niemców bałtyckich, pod koniec życia doradczyni Aleksandra I. Artykuł składa się z pięciu części: „Kim była?” (biografia pisarki), „Nad Bałtykiem” (obraz Danii w Walerii i Liwonii we wspomnieniach), „W Petersburgu” (obraz carów rosyjskich), „W kierunku zachodnim” (obraz Danii i Włoch w Walerii oraz Niemiec, Francji, Anglii we wspomnieniach) i „Zakończenie” (koncepcja „Europejki rosyjskiej”). Podróże Krüdener miały charakter intelektualny (spotkania z elitami politycznymi i kulturalnymi Europy, udział w życiu kulturalnym). Europa Północna (zimna, melancholijna) zostaje skontrastowana z południową (ciepła, radosna).

The paper presents the problem of travelling on the basis of the novel “Valérie” and the volume “The Memories of Childhood and Youth” by Beate Barbara Juliane von Krüdener (1764–1824). Krüdener was a French-language writer, born in Riga, belonging to the honourable family of Baltic Germans, who, at the end of her life, was an advisor to Alexander I. The paper consists of five parts: “Who was she?” (the writer’s biography) “On the Baltic Sea” (a picture of Denmark in “Valérie” and Livonia in the memories), “In Saint Petersburg” (a picture of  Russian tsars), “Towards the West” (a picture of Denmark and Italy in “Valérie” and Germany, France, England in the memories) and “The Conclusion” (the concept of a “Russian European”). Krüdener’s journeys were of intellectual type (meeting with political and cultural elites of Europe, participation in cultural life). Northern Europe (cold and melancholic) is contrasted with southern Europe (warm and cheerful).

The nine volumes, registered in the Catalogue of Polish prints from the 16th c. held in the Chapter Library in Gniezno by Rev. Leon Formanowicz and indicated as early as 1930, include hand-written dedication inscriptions dedicated to Wojciech Baranowski. These dedications have been complemented during a grant project headed by Dr. Piotr Pokora with four books that include hand- written dedications by three other persons. The gift books, discussed in a chronological order in the article, were donated by the Riga alderman Johann Tastius, secretary to the Brandenburg Elector Michael Giese and Cardinal Cezary Baroniusz and provide some additional information on the scope and directions of Primate Baranowski’s social relations. These relations, however, are analysed from the perspective of bookbinding studies. A particular attention is given to an attempt to define the nature of these dedications.

Leona Formanowicza dziewięć woluminów kryjących rękopiśmienne wpisy dedykacyjne dla Wojciecha Baranowskiego uzupełnione zostały w trakcie projektu grantowego kierowanego przez doktora Piotra Pokorę o następne cztery księgi zawierające rękopiśmienne dedykacje od trzech osób. Omówione chronologicznie w tekście książkowe dary wójta ryskiego Johanna Tastiusa, sekretarza elektora brandenburskiego Michaela Giese oraz kardynała Cezara Baroniusza, które dostarczają informacji o zasięgu i kierunku nawiązywanych przez Baranowskiego relacji społecznych, zanalizowano na płaszczyźnie tegumentologicznej. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono próbie określenia charakteru dedykacji.
