The author of the article discusses selected academic and popular publications concerning the history of libraries and librarianship in Poland which appeared in 1945–2015. In that period information about the most important historical resources of various Polish libraries and early book collections was made available; in addition, the period was marked by progress in the study of materials originating before the end of the 18th century. Scholars published a range of methodological studies as well as studies dealing with sources, contributing to the development of scholarship. On the other hand, there were too few editions of source materials. After 1989 scholars intensified their efforts to find sources in foreign collections, especially in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and Germany. Polish collections kept abroad are yet to be fully researched and have their inventories and catalogues published. The vast body of literature is uneven when it comes to its focus on the various historical periods, regions, subregions and local centres. It comprises publications dealing with the history of libraries, their function and role in culture with regard to the history of the book, and publications focused on the types of libraries or individual libraries — of different traditions, sizes and stature. Scholars also explored the history of home book collections, reading rooms and libraries as well as biographies of librarians and collectors. The quality of the publications varies. There are gaps in, for example, the history of libraries in the former Polish Eastern Borderlands as well as “blank pages” in the historiography of Polish librarianship after the Second World War. There is a visible shortage of quantification of phenomena from the past of libraries, despite the fact that there are some possibilities in this respect. What is also needed is development in comparative studies, also in an international perspective, although this would require Polish historians to become more interested than before in the history of librarianship in other countries.

Varlaam Shyshatsky (1750-1821) was a prominent figure in the Russian Orthodox Church. In this article, the author’s focus is on his personal library – one of the most substantial book collections in Eastern Europe in the second half of the 18th and early 19th centuries, which has never been analyzed before. The article not only analyzes the composition of Varlaam Shyshatsky’s library, but also compares this collection with the personal libraries of other figures belonging to the same social group. The analysis is grounded in the broad context of the history of reading and book culture in Europe. Based on a number of criteria, it is concluded that significant changes in the culture of reading took place in the Ukrainian lands of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 18th century – first and foremost the emergence of ‘extensive’ reading and development of a number of new cultural practices among the ‘enlightened elite’. The composition of the library of Varlaam Shyshatsky also attests to the cultural uniqueness of the region and argues in favor of the thesis about the existence of a ‘Ukrainian Enlightenment’ as a phenomenon with national and regional specifics of its own.

This study presents the until now unknown Lower Austrian book collection from the end of the 16th century, which is, indeed, unique in many aspects. It was carried off to Sweden as part of literary war booty from Bohemia and Moravia towards the end of the Thirty Years’ War. The aim of this study is to fill in one of the gaps in our knowledge of Central European aristocratic libraries in the Early Modern Age. After all, Beck’s Library was one of the little known aristocratic libraries of a progressive, intellectual archetype. The Library, in its irreplaceably poignant personal character, reflected some elements of Hironymus Beck’s life and his world outlook, difficult to ascertain otherwise and uncaptured from other primary sources. Therefore, the author strives to decipher until now unknown intellectual horizons of its creator and to classify the Beck book collection within the context of other contemporary aristocratic libraries in the Austrian Lands.

Knowledge of the bibliography (book studies) curriculum in Poland in the first half of the 19th century is expanded by the “Course in bibliography” – a lecture prepared in 1831 for students at Warsaw University by a historian, folklorist, translator, publisher and librarian Łukasz Gołębiowski (1773-1849). It was edited by Jacek Puchalski and Elżbieta Maruszak (bibliography, indexes) under the scientific editorship of Barbara Bieńkowska and published in 2017. The manuscript and editorial output of Ł. Gołębiowski were appreciated already in the 19th century. His library work and the information contained in his “Course in Bibliography” are fundamental to our knowledge of manuscript codices once held in Polish libraries, especially in monasteries. The article presents and discusses the part of the “Course in Bibliography” which contains information on the number of books taken from monastic and church libraries in 1819, including volumes confiscated from those convents which did not undergo dissolution. Special attention is given to the Augustinian library in Warsaw, since it was one of those libraries that did not suffer from book requisitions and was briefly described by Ł. Gołębiowski on the basis of the catalogue compiled in 1810.

Wiedzę na temat programu nauczania bibliografii (bibliologii) w Polsce w pierwszej połowie XIX w. poszerza Kurs bibliografii – wykład przygotowywany w 1831 r. dla studentów Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego przez historyka, ludoznawcę, tłumacza, wydawcę i bibliotekarza Łukasza Gołębiowskiego (1773-1849). Został on opracowany przez Jacka Puchalskiego i Elżbietę Maruszak (bibliografia, indeksy) pod redakcją naukową Barbary Bieńkowskiej i wydany w 2017 r. Dorobek rękopisoznawczy i edytorski Ł. Gołębiowskiego doceniano już w XIX w. Jego prace bibliotekarskie oraz informacje zawarte w Kursie bibliografii mają fundamentalne znaczenie dla wiedzy o kodeksach rękopiśmiennych przechowywanych niegdyś w bibliotekach polskich, zwłaszcza klasztornych. Rękopis Kursu bibliografii zawiera również informacje na temat ilości książek zabranych w 1819 r. z bibliotek klasztornych i kościelnych uwzględniające woluminy zarekwirowane z konwentów nieobjętych kasatą. Wśród zgromadzeń, które nie ucierpiały wskutek książkowych rekwizycji, była biblioteka augustianów w Warszawie, krótko opisana przez Ł. Gołębiowskiego na podstawie katalogu opracowanego w 1810 r. Niniejszy artykuł zawiera prezentację i omówienie właśnie tych informacji, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem książnicy augustianów.

The article deals with the manuscript of the Vatican Library Reg. lat. 1690, which contains the chronicle and book of coat of arms of the Austrian Herberstein family and has not been associated with the Swedish war booty of books from the Czech lands until now. Nevertheless, its analysis has revealed that it was written in 1584 at the instigation of the Austrian knight Hieronymus Beck von Leopoldsdorf, whose library later became part of the book collection of the Moravian Cardinal Franz von Dietrichstein. Along with his book collection, also this manuscript became part of the Swedish book booty.

The historic collection of the University Library in Toruń in its fundamental shape was formed after the World War II, based on the so called restricted collection, i.e. primarily the books from the former German libraries. To Toruń came mainly books from Eastern Prussia and Pomerania. Substantial part of the post-German collection came from Szczecin, including the books kept until the World War II in the Library of the Marian Gymnasium, which continued the tradition of the princely Pedagogium. The Szczecin collection came to Toruń shortly after the military operations of the Wold War II came to an end, either directly from Szczecin or via Pęzino, where they were evacuated by the German administration in order to protect them from the Allied bombings. Single books of Szczecin provenience were bought by the University Library in Toruń also in the subsequent years. In the Toruń university library we house today eight manuscript codices from the Marian Gymnasium Library in Szczecin. All the manuscripts came into being in the modern period, from the late 16th century until second half of the 18th century. Seven of them represent the domains of law, medicine, and theology. Their content reflects the then state of thought and is a perfect source material for studies into the history of science. The eighth one contains the library catalogues and inventories, and is particularly precious for the researchers of history of the Szczecin Gymnasium and its Library.

Zbiory zabytkowe Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Toruniu, w swoim podstawowym zrębie, zostały ukształtowane po zakończeniu II wojny światowej na bazie tak zwanych zbiorów zabezpieczonych, czyli przede wszystkim książek pochodzących z byłych niemieckich bibliotek. Do Torunia trafiły głównie książki z Prus Wschodnich oraz Pomorza. Niemała część zbiorów poniemieckich pochodzi ze Szczecina, w tym także książki przechowywane do II wojny światowej w Bibliotece Gimnazjum Mariackiego, kontynuatora tradycji Pedagogium Książęcego. Szczecińskie zbiory trafiły do Torunia krótko po zakończeniu działań II wojny światowej albo bezpośrednio ze Szczecina, albo via Pęzino, dokąd zostały ewakuowane przez administrację niemiecką w celu ich ochrony przed alianckimi bombardowaniami. Pojedyncze książki szczecińskiej proweniencji były nabywane przez Bibliotekę Uniwersytecką w Toruniu także w latach późniejszych. W toruńskiej książnicy uniwersyteckiej przechowujemy dziś osiem kodeksów rękopiśmiennych pochodzących z Biblioteki Gimnazjum Mariackiego w Szczecinie. Wszystkie manuskrypty powstały w okresie nowożytnym, od końca XVI do II połowy XVIII w. Siedem pierwszych reprezentuje dziedziny: prawa, medycyny oraz teologii – ich zawartość odzwierciedla stan ówczesnej myśli i jest doskonałym materiałem źródłowym do badań w zakresie historii nauki. Ósmy zawiera biblioteczne katalogi i inwentarze, z tego względu jest szczególnie cenny dla badaczy historii szczecińskiego Gimnazjum oraz jego Biblioteki.
