Jan Blažek, a correspondent of the Czech Ethnological Society, wrote in 1982 a text that described representatives of selected socio-professional groups in the Czech countryside before World War I. He paid attention to beggars, vagrants, wanderers, and barrel organ players. Even though those people usually were on the margin of society, the author identifies peculiar features of each of the mentioned groups and he differentiates between them (he creates a particular characteristics for each of them). He deals with their social and material situation, majority ́s relationship to them (including possible stereotypes and expressions of solidarity), their life conditions (diet, accommodation, clothing etc.) and other features (way of earning livelihood, typical behaviour, or verbal expressions).

The results are discussed in light of Arlie Russel Hochschild’s concept of the emotion management and feeling rules and Candance Clark’s concept of sympathy margin.

The aim of this article is to show the position of beggars in the Old Polish period. They had one of the lowest positions in the hierarchical and class society in the Republic of Poland. As they did not belong to any recognized social group (e.g. family or guild), had no assets and were often homeless, they were despised and people suspected the worst of them. They often belonged to the margins of society, or the so-called people of the road. They were therefore excluded from the basic social structures. Residents of recognized institutions, such as hospitals, were also engaged in begging. At the same time, beggars were paupers and as poor men they had the face of Christ. The so-called poverty was a necessary goal of charity resulting from the basic principle of Christianity, i.e. love. Alms – different forms of donation – were a prerequisite for salvation. In return, donors expected that the donated would pray for them. Thus, on the one hand, beggars were humiliated and despised; on the other hand, they were a necessary condition for the proper functioning of Christian charity.

Artykuł ma na celu ukazanie sytuacji żebraka w okresie staropolskim. W hierarchicznym i stanowym społeczeństwie Rzeczypospolitej zajmował on jedną z najniższych pozycji. Bez przynależności do uznanej grupy społecznej, np. rodziny, cechu, nie posiadając majątku, często bezdomny, był pogardzany i podejrzewany o najgorsze cechy. Często należał przy tym do marginesu społecznego, do tzw. ludzi luźnych, ludzi gościńca, a więc wykluczonych z podstawowych struktur. Żebraniem trudnili się również pensjonariusze uznanych placówek, czyli szpitali. Z drugiej strony żebrak był biedakiem, a biedak miał przecież twarz Chrystusa. Tak zwane ubóstwo było niezbędne jako cel charytatywności. Ta z kolei stanowiła wyraz miłosierdzia wynikający z podstawowej zasady chrześcijaństwa, czyli miłości. Jałmużna – datek pod różną postacią był konieczny w dziele zbawienia. W zamian oczekiwano od obdarowanego modlitwy na rzecz darczyńcy. Tak więc żebrak – z jednej strony poniżany, pogardzany, wyrzucany poza obręb społeczeństwa, z drugiej strony stanowił warunek konieczny dla właściwego funkcjonowania chrześcijańskiej charytatywności.

The problem of the sick, poor, old, orphans and those who are in need continuously appeared throughout human civilization. The Church played a huge, even dominant role in providing assistance to these people, as its doctrine of mercy inspired his followers to support the needy. This aid was rendered primarily through hospitals – which until the Enlightenment functioned as poorhouses; to a lesser extent by brotherhoods of charity. However, the most common form of assistance was a handout called „daily mercy”; according to the medieval concept of mercy, a „gold” and universal remedy for all human misery, because available for all the people from different classes and social groups. Giving handouts was something natural and done every day, something inherent in the mentality of medieval and modern society. It was an important part of all church and family ceremonies, public meetings, gatherings, and travel. There were different forms of giving handouts. One of them was a handout from individuals, which was usually practiced in the form of so-called testamentary handouts bequeathed in wills. Bequests and dispositions concerning handouts were made both to individuals (beggars and the poor) and a group of people living on the streets or in their homes. Also, the authors of their wills often bequeathed part of their wealth to charitable institutions, primarily hospitals and residents living in them. Informal handouts were rendered even more often; they were given by individuals in a spontaneous manner either to people who were in hospitals, or beggars who were not connected with any charitable institutions. Another form of supporting the needy was a funeral handout, distributed by the family of the deceased to beggars participating in the funeral. Sometimes it resulted from the will of the deceased, who before his death obligated relatives (in his will or by his words) to bestow handouts on the poor present in the burial ceremony. Beggars also received support participating at the funeral reception. The above-mentioned types of handouts can be defi ned as non-institutional ones. Sometimes, however, handouts were given by various institutions and organizations such as parishes, monasteries, hospitals and charitable brotherhoods, which were appointed for this very purpose, e.g. brotherhoods of the poor, hospitaller brotherhoods or brotherhoods of charity. Institutional forms of assistance include the ones provided by bishops, monarchs or municipal offi ces. Finally, there were also handouts coming from criminal penalties, because an accused or convicted person was obliged to help the needy as a substitute for any other type of sanction, for example fl ogging or prison. Sometimes the courts did not charge administrative fees, allocating them to beggars.
