During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries within the walls of the University of Prague appeared about a hundred students from lands administratively under the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Some of their names are well-known, but the identities of others have not been recognised. The students came fi rst of all from provinces geographically closer to Prague, i.e., Wielkopolska (30%) or Małopolska (6%). Further regions were represented as follows: Royal Prussia (23%), the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (5%), Mazovia (7%), Rus (4%), Lublin Province (4%), Podlasie (2%), Sieradz Province (1%), Rawa Province (1%), Kujawy Province (1%). We are unable to determine the origin of 16% of students. The young men represented the nobility (42%) and a slightly larger number came from the bourgeoisie (45%). The social origin of 13% of students is unknown. Among the students were such renowned historical fi gures like Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, Krzysztof Antoni Szembek or Hieronymus Roth.

Based on the preserved sources, the study presented attempted to clarify some of the circumstances connected with the role of the Old Town burgher Kříž in the foundation of two student colleges of the University of Prague, namely the Nazareth and Queen Hedwig Colleges. Also his tie to Bethlehem Chapel was investigated, the creation of which he made possibly through the donation of the plot and designated spaces. Other than the ecclesiastical benefices that he arranged in the chapel, also the ties of both colleges to the chapel were analysed and particularly then Kříž’s effort to connect their administration to the second preacher at Bethlehem Chapel. His endeavour to assure the influence of his own family on the operations of the College of Queen Hedwig was also outlined.

The aim of this article is to analyze the upbringing and education of prince Michael Korybut Wiśniowiecki (1640–1660) and to look more closely at the academic environment where the prince supported the study. Analysis of the source material from the Polish and Czech archival collections has provided a complete state of knowledge of the young future elect, such as the influence of his upbringing on his further social and political attitudes.The main area of research has previously focused on the so far unanalyzed academic environment of Prague, where the prince spent four years (1656–1660). His stay in Prague and studies at the University of Prague constitute the main structural axis of article, which presents a previously unknown biographical facts of the prince’s youth. Michael Korybut Wiśniowiecki received a relatively standard education for his social status. However, as a result of negligence of his patrons and protectors, especially Queen Marie Louise, prince’s education was lower in content designed to prepare him from holding high-profile functions in the state. Upbringing and education of the Prince were inappropriate for his character and potential, and also proved to be too principled.

Celem artykułu jest analiza wychowania i wykształcenia księcia Michała Korybuta Wiśniowieckiego (1640–1660) oraz próba bliższego przyjrzenia się środowisku akademickiemu, w którym książę pobierał nauki. Dzięki analizie materiału źródłowego z polskich i czeskich zbiorów archiwalnych udało się uzupełnić stan wiedzy dotyczący młodości przyszłego elekta oraz wpływu jego wychowania na dalszą postawę społeczną i polityczną. Za główny obszar badań zostało przyjęte nieanalizowane dotychczas praskie środowisko akademickie, w którym książę przebywał cztery lata (1656–1660). Pobyt w Pradze oraz studia na Uniwersytecie praskim stanowią główną oś konstrukcyjną artykułu, prezentującego nieznane dotychczas fakty biograficzne z młodości księcia. Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki odebrał stosunkowo typowe wykształcenie dla swojego stanu społecznego. Jednakże w wyniku licznych zaniedbań ze strony opiekunów i protektorów, przede wszystkim królowej Ludwiki Marii, edukacja książęca była uboższa w treści mające przygotować go do piastowania wysokich funkcji w państwie. Wychowanie i edukacja przyszłego króla były niedostosowane do jego charakteru oraz potencjału, a także okazały się zbyt pryncypialne.

Eugen Bormann, Professor of Ancient History and Epigraphy at the University of Vienna from 1885 to 1914, left a great scientific legacy after his demise. Because of the private correspondence of his widow Auguste with her daughter Emma, we know details about the sale of this legacy. The legacy was bought by the textile industrialist Hugo Ritter Grab von Hermannswörth, who donated it to the German University in Prague. Some of this legacy has not yet been found. But what we have in abundance is Bormann’s correspondence in the archives of Charles University in Prague. This article will not only trace the story of the sale of the ‘Bormann papers’, it will also cast light on a few selected bundles, e.g. gifts for Bormanns 70th birthday, school certificates, letters from Otto Benndorf, Alexander Conze, Michael Rostovtzeff, or Marie von Ebner -Eschenbach. This will show what tremendous treasure slumbers for the biographical research on Eugen Bormann in the Prague archive. The author’s goal is to lift this treasure in the next few years.

This article aims to trace the mobility of scholars and sciences between France and Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland in the 14th and 15th centuries, seen from the perspective of prosopography.These exchanges were concentrated in only three oldest French universities of Montpellier, Orléans and Paris, albeit with significant variations, and in the newly-founded universities north of the Alps in the 14th century, namely those in Prague and Kraków.Mobility was less important and intensive at the end of the Middle Ages because of the policy in favour of establishing national universities.The names of 143 scholars from Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland, who were enrolled in the 14th and 15th centuries in French universities, have been found so far. Several of them played important roles in the history of science in these countries.

Artykuł ten ma na celu prześledzenie mobilności naukowców i nauk między Francją a Czechami, Węgrami i Polską w XIV i XV wieku, widzianej z perspektywy prozopografii.Wymiana ta koncentruje się tylko na trzech najstarszych francuskich uniwersytetach w Montpellier, Orleanie i Paryżu, jednak ze znacznymi różnicami, oraz na nowo powstałych w XIV wieku uniwersytetach na północ od Alp, mianowicie w Pradze i Krakowie.Mobilność ta była mniej ważna i intensywna pod koniec średniowiecza, ponieważ prowadzono politykę na rzecz uniwersytetów krajowych.Do tej pory znaleziono nazwiska 143 uczonych z Czech, Węgier i Polski, którzy zapisali się w XIV i XV wieku na uniwersytety francuskie. Kilka z nich odegrało ważną rolę w historii nauki w tych krajach.

Andrzej Kuropatnicki’ academic graphical thesisGraphical academic theses are a very interesting source due to its interdisciplinary nature and the richness of their ideological, political or artistic content. Nevertheless, a majority of “Polish theses” have not been properly examined or analysed by Polish researchers. This is also true for a highly valuable Kuropatnicki’s graphical thesis of 1682, being an apotheosis of King Jan III Sobieski as the victor of Chocim, and Prince Jakub as his successor on the throne, which for a long time had been known only in part. The discovery of the whole original thesis in the National Library in Prague made it possible a thorough and multi-faceted study of the source and to broaden the current knowledge on the subject. Using the hermeneutic approach, philological and comparative methods, together with the literature on the subject of history of arts, it was possible to present the authors of the graphic (the etcher and painter), its inspirer, and also its sophisticated scientific, ideological, artistic and socio-political context, which led to the printing and propagating of Kuropatnicki’s graphical thesis. In addition, the basic research terminology has been made uniform and some pioneering interpretations put forward.Kuropatnicki’s graphical thesis turned out to be an original and in many aspects innovative ideological and propagandist medium to glorify King Jan III Sobieski and his son in the iconography of the so-called “pre-Vienna epoch”. A prestigious representation of the king in the all’antica type ideally inscribed to both Sobieski’s personal political programme, and the state one, for it explicitly manifested pro-Habsburg and anti-Turkish sentiments in the Commonwealth at that time.
