Świętosław Orzelski (1549–1598), Starost of Radziejów, actively participated in the political life of the noblemen’s Republic of Poland as a parliamentary activist and Member of Parliament. As a deputy he participated in 13 sessions of Parliament, including 6 sessions during the rule of Stefan Batory and 7 ones in the reign of Sigismund III Vasa. He was a talented politician, continuing the best traditions of the execution faction. As one of the seniors of the Augsburg denomination, he belonged to the group of leaders in the fight for religious tolerance. His historical work under the title Acta interregni post obitum nimirum Sigismundi Augusti remained in the form of manuscript for many years. It was not published in the Polish translation until the 19th century by Włodzimierz Spasowicz, and in its original form by Edward Kuntze in 1917. At present, a new edition of the work by Świętosław Orzelski is being prepared. In the first place, an introductory volume will be published, containing Orzelski’s biography, his speeches and letters dedicated to public matters.

Tadeusz Zieliński was an outstanding scholar specialising in Greek and Roman literature as well as an accomplished orator, though nowadays he is not always appreciated. The best example of his vast knowledge and oratorical talent is undoubtedly the cycle of eight lectures on the broadly conceived Antiquity. In those lectures, Zieliński discussed the ancient world in terms of scientific research, its influence on modern culture and its role in educating the young generation. In order to ensure the effectiveness of his message, he first had to win favour with the audience. His prestige in the scientific community greatly facilitated it, while the numerous rhetorical and linguistic devices he used guaranteed that his persuasive message brought the expected results. Coherent and logical composition, clear and vivid language, topoi, expressions and phrases aimed at reducing the distance between the sender and the receiver, adjusting the style to the audience, numerous examples, references to authoritative figures, among other things, played a vital role here. Such devices were as important as the contents of the text itself as they ensured the effectiveness of the communication.

The aim of the article is to present the main educational assumptions proposed by M.F. Quintylian in shaping new generations of right people and citizens. According to Quintilian, a citizen, who is assigned to the administration and management of government should be a good orator. Apart from comprehensive and complete education he/she should be fluent in the language of Greek and Latin, know the literature, graduate oratorical studies, and above all, should be distinguished by its unimpeachable moral profile. He/she should be the model of right and perfectly moral person. Quintilian postulated that children from an early age shall be ready for this role. Educational process of the future orator consisted of intellectual and moral education, which took place in the traditional educational institutions of the ancient Rome, i.e. in the family and at school. He required from parents the education and righteousness, so that the children in the house did not witness brutal and shameless scenes. He imposed similar requirements on teachers, who above all should be noble and also should have a complete education. His proposals and suggestions has been included in the treatise entitled Institutes of Oratory, which according to him would be, “useful for the right-hinking Roman youth”.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie głównych założeń wychowawczych proponowanych przez M.F. Kwintyliana w kształtowaniu nowych pokoleń prawych ludzi i obywateli. Według Kwintyliana obywatel desygnowany do kierowania i zarządzania państwem miał być idealnym mówcą. Poza wszechstronnym i gruntownym wykształ- ceniem powinien biegle posługiwać się językiem greckim i łacińskim, znać dobrze literaturę, ukończyć studia oratorskie, a nade wszystko powinien go wyróżniać nienaganny profil moralny – powinien być wzorem prawego i nienagannie moralnego człowieka. Postulował, by chłopcy od najmłodszych lat byli przygotowywani do tej roli. Na proces wychowawczy przyszłego mówcy składały się więc edukacja intelektualna i moralna, które odbywały się w tradycyjnych instytucjach wychowawczych starożytnego Rzymu, tj. w rodzinie i w szkole. Od rodziców Kwintylian wymagał wykształcenia i prawości, tak aby dzieci w domu nie były świadkami scen brutalnych i bezwstydnych. Podobne wymagania stawiał nauczycielom, którzy najpierw winni wykazywać się szlachetnością, a następnie gruntownym wykształceniem. Swoje propozycje i postulaty zawarł w traktacie pt. Kształcenie mówcy, który, jak sądził, „będzie pożyteczny dla zdrowo myślącej młodzieży rzymskiej”.
