When the tsarist authorities closed the Vilnius University in 1832 as well as the Medical and Surgical Academy and Academy of Theology (that were established on the basis of the closed university departments and existed just less than 10 years) young people from Lithuania were deprived of the opportunity to gain higher education in their country. Their choice of the Russian universities was influenced by a number of factors. The main one was that young people did not actually have choice. The tsarist authorities made it difficult to study in the Polish Kingdom and at the universities in the Western Europe, moreover, the latter not everyone could afford. The Lithuanian State Historical Archives in Vilnius preserves rich sources to this topic. The records are located primarily in fonds of tsarist state institutions at various levels . The most valuable in this respect are archival fonds: Office of Vilnius Governor-General, Office of the Civil Governor of Vilnius (records connected with the passports), the Board of Vilnius Education District, the Medical and Surgical Academy and files of commissions for investigation and courts of war. Moreover, interesting materials (letters, diaries, journals, memoirs) are stored in the Collection of Society of Friends of Science in Vilnius. Studies on these and other materials could contribute to the enrichment of knowledge not only about the migration of young people from Lithuania to Russia, but also about their commitment to the fight for the independence of Lithuania, as well as a contribution to Russian culture and science.

The aim of the article is to present Polish studies at the Vilnius University – its history, present times and prospects for development. One of the basic goals of the Center for Polish Studies of the Vilnius University is, among others, educating specialists in Polish literature, culture and language in educational, cultural and state institutions in Lithuania. Thirty years of functioning of Polish studies at Vilnius University as a separate teaching and research unit within the structure of the Faculty of Philology have shown that it is an important and needed institution. The strengthened field of Polish studies at Vilnius University should exist as a permanent element of the structure of this university and as a necessary bridge in cooperation between Lithuania and Poland.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja studiów polonistycznych na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim – jej dziejów, współczesności i perspektyw rozwoju. Jednym z podstawowych celów działalności Centrum Polonistycznego Uniwersytetu Wileńskiego jest m.in. kształcenie specjalistów w zakresie polskiej literatury, kultury oraz języka dla placówek oświatowych, kulturalnych oraz państwowych na Litwie. Trzydzieści lat funkcjonowania polonistyki na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim jako odrębnej jednostki dydaktyczno-naukowej w strukturze Wydziału Filologicznego wykazało, że jest ona placówką ważną i potrzebną. Wzmocniony kierunek studiów polonistycznych na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim powinien istnieć jako trwały składnik struktury tej uczelni i jako niezbędny pomost we współpracy Litwy i Polski.

This article presents the time spanning 1825–1828, when Juliusz Słowacki studied at Vilnius University; it specifies and describes the places where he lived for longer periods of time. The article also describes the location of Belweder, the summer residence and garden of August Bécu, to which Słowacki often went for a stroll. The article fills some gaps concerning the poet’s student life. Thanks to discovering a copy of the diploma, the mark transcript and some information concerning the completion of studies, the author has been able to determine which students of the Faculty of Moral and Political Sciences received a monetary prize, who was awarded an honorable mention, what the subject of Słowacki’s final paper was and when Słowacki left Vilnius for good.

Artykuł przedstawia okres 1825-1828, kiedy Juliusz Słowacki studiował na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim. Autor wyszczególnia i charakteryzuje miejsca, w których poeta mieszkał przez dłuższy czas. Opisuje także położenie Belwederu, letniej rezydencji i ogrodu Augusta Bécu, do którego Słowacki często chodził na spacery. Artykuł uzupełnia pewne luki w wiedzy na temat życia studenckiego poety. Dzięki odnalezieniu kopii dyplomu, wykazu ocen i informacji o ukończeniu studiów udało się ustalić, którzy studenci Oddziału Nauk Moralnych i Politycznych otrzymali nagrodę pieniężną, kto otrzymał wyróżnienie, jaki był temat pracy końcowej Słowackiego i kiedy Słowacki opuścił Wilno na stałe.

The paper contains a review of M. Gawrońska-Garstka’s book about Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. The book was published in 2016 and, in my opinion, can’t be called monograph, due to several shortcomings. The author did not use the basic sources. After analyzing the “Bibliography” it become obvious that 80% of the signatures from the Lithuanian archive (f. 175) are not cited in the text. The language of the peer-reviewed book is infantile. Sentences are general and says nothing new. Style is illogical. Lack of ability to put up thesis and draw conclusions is blatant. Therefore, the book should not be considered scientific work as it contributing nothing to the history of USB.

This article presents an outline of the history of Vilnius University in the days of the Commission of National Education. It characterises an organisational pattern and educational objectives that were defined in the essential document of the Commission, ‘Ustawy Kommissyi Edukacyi Narodowey dla stanu akademickiego i na szkoły w kraiach Rzeczypospolitey przepisane’ [‘The Commission of National Education’s Acts for the Academic Estate and the Schools of the Commonwealth’]. Moreover, it presents the process of converting Vilnius Academy into a modern, enlightened university. It points to its functions, such as education, including teacher training, scientific research, promotion of knowledge and supervision over secular schools. It also presents the aspect of the professors’ effort to provide scientific resources for the development of mathematical and natural sciences and medicine. The author has outlined the pragmatic aspect of professors’ lectures as well. As in other schools of the Commission, the Lithuanian Main School’s crucial educational objective was to form good, enlightened citizens who could be useful to the state.

The article presents Karol Jentz, an early 19th-century physics teacher. Vilnius University sent him on an educational journey to Berlin, Vienna, Munich and Paris. During the journey, he visited numerous factories and expanded his knowledge. He was supposed to take the position of professor of technology at Vilnius University upon his return, but he unexpectedly died in Paris.

Józef Zawadzki, the Vilnius bookseller and the editor, the animator of many important publishing undertakings, contributed extremely effectively to sustaining and the development of the scientific‑literary movement in Lithuania in the partition age. Moreover, he became involved very actively in coming into existence and publishing periodicals. He spared no effort to publish “Vilnius Daily” (in both periods of appearing it) or “Vilnius Literary Newspaper”. All action taken in this direction resulted from Zawadzki’s belief that magazines would influence the cultural life of the country very positively and be a place of the constructive criticism, as well as publishing and book advertisements. He cared about it both as the experienced editor, for whom the evaluation of published work was extremely helpful in gradual developing publishing successive initiatives, and for the bookseller caring for the information about the available writing production so that it could get through to the widest circle of recipients and arouse their interest.

The article analyses manuscripts and other archival documents as pre-texts of literary texts, with a view to demonstrating how they may be used most effectively in literary studies. An examination report with questions that Adam Mickiewicz was asked during his diploma examination at Vilnius University is discussed. The author analyses other archival and printed sources as well, trying to reconstruct the desired answers to the questions, and then outlines the benefits of employing such an archival procedure in the analysis of Mickiewicz’s works.

Artykuł podejmuje kwestię roli rękopisów i innych dokumentów archiwalnych jako przed-tekstów utworów literackich. Stawia pytanie o to, w jakiej perspektywie badawczej ich wykorzystanie w badaniach literaturoznawczych może okazać się najowocniejsze. Zagadnienie to zostało przedstawione na przykładzie protokołu egzaminacyjnego zawierającego pytania zadane Adamowi Mickiewiczowi podczas egzaminu dyplomowego na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim. Na podstawie innych źródeł archiwalnych oraz drukowanych autorka podejmuje próbę rekonstrukcji pożądanych odpowiedzi na zadane pytania, a następnie wskazuje na korzyści, które mogą płynąć z uwzględnienia ich w analizie utworów literackich Mickiewicza.

An overview — even cursory — of literary culture in Lithuania in the first decades of the nineteenth century indicates there were many people who pursued poetry writing. According to Piotr Chmielowski, such a phenomenon did not exist then to this extent and with such intensity in any other part of Poland’s territory. As proof, in one of his works, he lists more than seventy names of poets who in the years 1815– –1822 had their poetry printed on the pages of journals published at the time. This number, certainly, does not fully reflect the scale of the said phenomenon. It should be noted that young people strove for a place on local poetry Parnassus, for example, also through parlor readings or through entries in memory books. Those young poets were often satisfied with minor, fleeting poems, handed from one person to another, without hope of the fruits of their poetic labor appearing on the pages of periodical press. Unfortunately, few of these poets possessed “talent above the mediocrity”, hence few manged to impress their audience. The paper aims to present selected views of contemporary audience concerning the poetry as its members also made an attempt at evaluation of the poems and aesthetic valorisation of the authors’ talent.

Twórczość literacka Antoniego Goreckiego sprowadza się w zasadniczej mierze do tzw. literatury okolicznościowej. Poeta wielokrotnie, przy użyciu pióra, komentował aktualne wydarzenia polityczne i społeczne. Ze szczególnym upodobaniem pisywał bajki polityczne, które przysporzyły mu największej popularności. Gatunek ten, poprzez częste wykorzystywanie tzw. języka ezopowego, stwarzał możliwość przemycania niewygodnych dla caratu treści. Nie zawsze jednak udawało się poecie uniknąć konfliktu z cenzurą, w wyniku czego znalazł się nawet w więzieniu. Co znamienne, twórczość Goreckiego była cenzurowana nawet po jego śmierci, na co przykłady odnajdujemy w lipskich wydaniach zbiorowych Pism z roku 1877 i 1886.
EN
Literary work of Antoni Gorecki essentially resembles so-called occasional literature. The poet repeatedly made comments about the current political and social events by the use of a pen. He wrote political fables which were his real predilection and brought him the most popularity. This genre, by the frequent use of the so-called Aesopian language, created the opportunity to smuggle content inconvenient for the tsarism. Not always, however, did the poet manage to avoid a conflict with the censorship. As a result, he was even imprisoned. Significantly, Gorecki’s work was censored even after his death, as the examples can be found in the Writings of Leipzig collected editions of 1877 and 1886.

Chemia Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego

EN
In Poland, Jędrzej Śniadecki was a continuator and one of the promoters of the French school of chemistry, initiated by the works of Antoine Lavoisier. Śniadecki came into contact with the foundations of this school, which included a new definition of the chemical elements, the principle of mass conservation and the oxygen theory of combustion, while still studying at the university in Kraków. His later studies at European universities and his knowledge of the most recent literature ultimately channelled his views on chemistry. This was reflected in Śniadecki’s academic publications, in particular in his textbook: Początki chemii: stosownie do teraźniejszego tey umiejętności stanu dla pożytku uczniów i słuchaczów ułożony y za wzór lekcyi akademickich służyć mające (The Beginnings of Chemistry: Composed in Accordance with the Current State of This Skill for the Benefit of Students and Auditors to Be Used as a Model for Academic Classes) Vilnius, 1800. It was the first original chemistry textbook in the Polish language. The author used his own chemical terminology, modelled after the new French terminology. The Polish systemic chemical terminology, which conveyed information about the type and composition of a given substance, had been introduced by Śniadecki three years earlier, during his lectures at Vilnius University. The names proposed by Śniadecki caught on and were used in Poland for several decades. Jędrzej Śniadecki’s original contribution to global science was his theory that explained the phenomenon of life and the interdependencies between matter in the animate and inanimate world. This theory, published in the years 1804–1811, in Warsaw in three parts, was translated into German and French. The Polish edition was entitled Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego medycyny doktora Teoria jestestw organicznych ( Theory of Organic Beings by Jędrzej Śniadecki, Medical Doctor). The first part was of great significance for the development of organic chemistry. When this work is compared with later publications by Justus Liebig, it can be shown that Śniadecki’s views had an impact on the writings of this German scholar.
