The essay is concerned with the people, methods and genres that created historical memory in female convents of the Bohemian female Franciscan province in the early modern period. With view to the centrally managed monastic administration, but a low share of the female convents in operation of the province, the essay asks whether and how monastic commands regarding management of archives and preservation of memory were reflected in a convent of the Znojmo Franciscan nuns and the Brno Franciscan tertiaries. The members of the convent are presented as creators of their own written historical memory, which showed, as a contrast to the male monasteries, an inclination towards narration.

The Zittau library of Christian Weise has an extensive collection of manuscripts, among which we find a number of early modern-era chronicles relating particularly to the six towns of the Lusatian League. One of these is the Zittau Chronicle by Tobiáš Schnürer from the 16th century, preserved in a later transcription, in which he chronologically recorded the most important events of his era, including the names of members of the Town Council. Memorial and chronicle records are also included in a collection of manuscripts by Abraham Frenzel (1656-1740). This includes a preserved transcription of an early modern-era chronicle of Sorau (Żary), which details the problems of life in the town and the local authority at the time. Another of Frenzel's preserved manuscripts describes the journey through Europe made by Michael Frank at the end of the sixteenth century, including his visit to Bohemia.

The study summarizes the information about Bohemia (and East Central Europe in general) that is given by the Western Frankish chronicles of the 10th and first half of the 11th centuries. These contributions were mostly omitted or refused by general majority of the Czech historiography. Recent changes of attitude to the relevance of these sources could bring a new view on these sources. The information about Bohemia contained in these sources could also help us to expose a possible relations and stereotypes about our region in Western Europe in the 10th and 11th century.

The article studies functional and semantic peculiarities of derivative adjectives with suffixes -ьн- and -ьск- from chronicles. The character of substantival adjectival syntagmas being the main unit of Old Russian texts has been analyzed. Reference field of different characteristics which are important for medieval languages has been revealed. Spheres of functioning of two sets of the most productive suffixes have been defined. These are sets which take part in formation of characteristic culture space. Adjective units are researched with the help of semantic cognitive method in a functional and cultural perspectives. As a result lexical and grammatical semantics of adjectives ending in -ьн- and -ьск- in Old Russian have been revealed as well as the main groups of derivative bases, and most frequent syntagmas with these types of adjectives have been described.

Twórczość Bolesława Prusa była przedmiotem licznych publikacji (szczególnie tych dotyczących języka, bo na nich skupia się autorka), jednak badacze koncentrowali się przede wszystkim na utworach literackich – powieściach, opowiadaniach i nowelach. Na marginesie zainteresowań pozostawał przebogaty dorobek dziennikarski Prusa. Artykuł przybliża ogrom zjawiska – wylicza lata współpracy pisarza z redakcjami, tytuły prasowe, w których zamieszczał swoje teksty i cykle wydawnicze, których był autorem. Podano w miarę pełny i aktualny wykaz prac językoznawczych, w których był opisywany idiolekt Prusa. Sformułowano też listę problemów i zadań badawczych, które należałoby podjąć, aby solidnie i kompleksowo przeanalizować język Prusa dziennikarza.

The literary heritage of Bolesław Prus has been the subject of numerous publications, especially concerning the language, which remains the article author’s main focus. However, researchers have primarily concentrated on his literary fiction works – the novels, short stories, and novellas. The remarkably rich collection of the journalistic writings of Prus has been so far of marginal interest. This article introduces the reader to this great literary phenomenon – it provides the dates of the author’s collaboration with the editorial offices, press titles where he published his works, and describes his publishing cycles. It offers a current list of linguistic works devoted to the idiolect of Prus. It also addresses a set of problems and delineates the research tasks which are worth undertaking in order to perform a thorough and complex analysis of the language of Prus as a journalist.

The study writes about so-called memory books of gendarmerie stations – a resource that so far has been used mainly by those interested in modern military history (in many memory books are vividly described the events from 1937–1939 and from May 1945), history of security corps and regional history. The opportunity to use the memory books for social history, history of everyday life or history of criminality remains aside. The memory books of gendarmerie stations were one of fruits resulting from an unusual boom of chronography in the former Austrian-Hungarian Empire and then in Czechoslovakia in the early-20th century. Although they existed for less than forty years as official documents, they were written in one of the most dynamic and dramatic stages of Czech modern history limited by the World War I from the one side, and the communist totalitarian regime from the other. All social turns were also reflected in gendarmerie memory books that became one of the important resources of Czech modern history.

The paper examines verbs and verbal expressions for ‘die’ employed in Middle English chronicles. As one of the aims is to find out to what extent the distribution of euphemistic and non-euphemistic verbs and verbal expressions denoting this sense was determined stylistically, both prose and verse works are analyzed, i.e. The Peterborough chronicle 1070–1154, The Brut, or the chronicles of England, Layamon’s Brut, and The anonymous short English metrical chronicle. The textual distribution of the verbs is presented, including both numerical data and a synopsized contextual analysis of particular verbs and expressions

In the article the analysis of the rhetorical content of some elements of Cossack culture is made. The author investigates the specific features of the Cossack eloquence, conditions of their appearance and development. In particular, it is argued that rhetorical skills were necessary for representatives of the Cossack officers, namely: convincingly defend their opinion before a large audience, speech technology, emotionality, witty, improvisation, polemical skills, ability to be concise, informative, original. The ability to tell an artistic story, sense of humor, which was manifested in the original understanding of the phenomena of reality, human features and transfer them in a humorous tone, were valued among the Cossacks. Candidate hetmans necessarily had to give a speech about how he understood his appointment, how he was going to organize an army to fight for the freedom of Ukraine and what meant for him to be faithful to society, etc. Military appeals, with which hetmans addressed not only to the Cossacks, but also to all the population of Ukraine, were eloquent. Rhetorical basis of Cossack Chronicles, namely the content, structure, rhetorical devices, compliance with the ancient traditions of eloquence were reviewed in details. The role of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy in rhetorical preparation of the Cossack was reviewed. It is argued that shots of the Ukrainian administration, the judiciary, the clergy, that were the Ukrainian intelligentsia, were brought up at this institution. The knowledge, which was gained at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy, including rhetoric, helped them in the future career. Fragments of the Ukrainian hetmans’ speeches, which are the samples of national political rhetoric, are presented. Rhetorical figures, which are used in Ukrainian folklore: in ballads, songs, proverbs, are analyzed. Cossack songs are rich in ideological content, emotional stress, high artistic quality. The use of such rhetorical figures as a metaphor, hyperbole, a rhetorical question and rhetorical comparison, is characterized for their poetic style. Thus, the author proves the idea about the necessity of thorough study and use of Cossack rhetorical heritage in the modern educational process.

This article proposes to explore crises from seemingly different backgrounds and periods (the madness of Charles VI of France and the French Wars of Religion) to demonstrate how these elements were used by authors in order to create emotional narratives in support of the failing monarchy. In the two situations, the French community was constructed as an entity which duty was to support the king. However, the authors use different methods to transmit their messages. While Christine de Pizan and the chroniclers advocate for the building of an integrating, all encompassing community around the love of and for the king, Ronsard’s France is tasked at differentiating the Catholics and the Protestants, in an effort to construct France also as a monarchy loving community, of which the protestants are presented as the enemies.

Among the historical information on the development of education and upbringing in Poland, it is the school sources that have cognitive value. The school sources include chronicles, official documents, photographs, interviews, school diaries, school newspapers, school equipment, and exhibits in school memorial rooms. Since the school sources have been present as long as the schools themselves, they provide the most accurate information about the activities of schools. Usually, the school documentation duty was imposed by the school authorities, which developed appropriate regulations, and with time the systems for protection of school resources were also implemented. The school authorities also designed detailed guidelines for the preparation of, inter alia, school chronicles, and encouraged employees to write them. The interest in school documentation especially grew in the Second Republic of Poland, which resulted from the process of rebuilding the administrative structures of the Polish state. All documents were subject to an assessment by the School Inspector. The process of creating school documentation was accompanied by initiatives to store and protect it. Pedagogues started to create school museums, where the school documents were to be kept. School sources meet the criteria of historical sources. However, it is difficult to suggest a uniform typology of school sources, as it depends on the definition of the source. School source materials of invaluable cognitive value and a rich iconographic base might be the basis for research in history, education science, ethnology, sociology and anthropology. Despite their cognitive value, the school sources are currently not protected by law and may become dispersed and irreversibly lost.

Jan Dlugosz in his almanacs speaks extensively about the miraculous coming back to life of Peter of Piotrawin [Piotr z Piotrawina]. This exceptional event was supposed to happen due to St. Stanislavus [święty Stanisław]. However, one specific term used by the chronicler makes one ponder and raise speculation, that the author, writing about the unusual episode in the life of the canonized bishop of Cracow, had recalled a miracle play he had experienced. That miracle play was probably the reconstruction of the resurrection of the aforementioned knight. It might have been prepared for variety’s sake during the celebrations commemorating the day the XIIIc. clergyman was acknowledged a Saint. The play might even have been presented at the Wawel Castle, which architecture allowed for such a staging at that time. The miracle play was lost in the track of time, although the following sketch is a hypothetical trial of its partial reconstruction.

Jan Długosz w swoich Rocznikach... wypowiada się obszernie o cudownym przywróceniu życia Piotrowi z Piotrawina; do tego nadzwyczajnego zdarzenia miało rzekomo dojść za sprawą św. Stanisława. Niemniej jedno szczególne określenie użyte przez kronikarza zastanawia i budzi domysł, że autor, pisząc o tym niezwykłym epizodzie w żywocie kanonizowanego biskupa krakowskiego, przywoływał na pamięć osobiście oglądane widowisko miraklowe, będące prawdopodobnie właśnie rekonstrukcją wskrzeszenia rzeczonego rycerza. Mogło być ono urozmaiceniem uroczystości zorganizowanych w związku z obchodami dnia wyniesionego na ołtarze w XIII wieku duchownego; możliwe nawet, że wystawione na Wawelu – ówczesna architektura zamku umożliwiała tego typu inscenizację. Mirakl ten nie zachował się do czasów współczesnych, natomiast prezentowany szkic stanowi hipotetyczną próbę jego częściowego odtworzenia.

The methodological paper considers the possibility of interpreting folk chronicles from the turn of the 19th century. It addresses the question of how one can interpret what are often stodgy and unoriginal excerpts from foreign books that were widely used by the peasant scribes. It cites the example of a peasant scribe and village magistrate, Josef Dlask, whose chronicle saw the light of day recently, for the first time in a unabridged edition.

The marriage of Duke Vytautas the Great’s daughter Sophia to the Grand Duke of Moscow Vasily in 1391 was a momentous event that impinged on the course of history. Although the circumstances in which this marriage was concluded address extremely important historical issues, such as relations between Lithuania and Moscow, Vytautas’ biography, and the politics of the Grand Duchy of Moscow towards the end of the fourteenth century, historiography has not recorded many attempts to study them. This is probably due to the rather vague primary sources which are dominated by the accounts contained in the chronicles. The author of the article makes an effort to analyse them, which, combined with other evidence, as well as a review of the political situation at the time, led him to believe that it was the Moscow side that initiated the talks on the marriage of Sophia and Vasily. The Grand Duke of Moscow, Dmitry of the Don, had been looking for the possibility of a dynastic rapprochement with the ruling circles of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania for a long time. The conclusion of the Polish-Lithuanian agreement in Krevo (1385), uncertain situation in the Golden Horde and the desire to strengthen the position of his son were the reasons that could force the Moscow ruler to act more decisively in this field. Therefore, having left Tartar captivity at the end of 1385, Vasily son of Dmitri of the Don, went west, where he took the opportunity of meeting Vytautas to start first talks. The negotiations were interrupted due to a rather weak political position of Vytautas before 1389. They were resumed when it turned out that Władysław Jagiełło, after taking the throne in Kraków, did not intend to forgo his active policy in Eastern Europe. Therefore, when Vytautas fought together with the Teutonic Knights to seize power in Lithuania, Moscow decided to support his efforts. In this way, the duke, with his allies in the Teutonic Order and strong ties with Moscow, became a dangerous rival for Władysław Jagiełło. Such a turn of events could have influenced the Polish king’s decision to reconcile with his cousin yet again.

The current article – focused on two plays about the killing of a son by his family – has a double objective: firstly it questions the probable source of a folkloric story of the prodigal son, and secondly, it places side by side theatre plays based on a legendary theme. After presenting the playwrights, Karol Hubert Rostworowski and Albert Camus, as well as the terminological propositions of Eric Durnez, the article analyses the convergences and divergences that we find in using the subjects from chronicles quasi mythical.
