History of the reformed book culture in Sárospatak during the 17th century was very closely linked with three institutions: a reformed school, a printing office and a school and princely library. As regards the development of Sárospatak as an important center of the reformed confession in Upper Hungary and thus of the reformed book culture as well, an irreplaceable role was played by the princely Rákóczi family. George I Rákóczi, his wife Zsuzsanna Lorántffy, as well as their son Sigismund were among the nobility whose level of education was extremely high for that time – in addition to being dedicated supporters of the Reformed Church, they were aware of the importance of education and valued it. The value they saw in education – including their support for book culture – stemmed from their deep religiousness and reformed confessional mentality. An important impulse for the development of education and book culture in Sárospatak were John Amos Comenius’ activities in the period 1650–1654. In this period, the school started to offer higher quality education and a printing office was established, which published many important works of the reformed book culture in the following decades. Although the promising development of the school and related institutions was interrupted in the last third of the 17th century, its activities were renewed in the 18th century and it has continued to function to this day.

The article addresses the issue of one of the more intense and captivating European scientific disputes, likewise common to Poland, in the era of the seventeenth-century transformation of knowledge formation, which centered around the possibility of the existence of vacuum, and which culminated in 1647. The fundamental aim of the article comes down to an attempt to determine a position in the scientific-cognitive debate, from which the pro and anti-Polish and European representatives of The Republic of Letters (Respublica literaria)  could voice their opinions. In the course of the analysis of the mid-seventeenth century scientific discourse, the reflections of Valeriano Magni, Torricelli, Jan Brożek, Wojciech Wijuk Kojałowicz, Blaise Pascal, Giovanni Elefantuzzi, Jacob Pierius, and Pierre Guiffart are subjected to close scrutiny. From the perspective of contextualism in the history of science, experiments demonstrating the existence of vacuum are perceived as anomalies that fall into the crisis of normal science, largely based on Aristotle’s physics. The conflict between the old and the new is not, however, presented as a battle of progression with epigonism, but merely as a contest between opposing individual views and the concept of science, which before the formation of the new paradigm was accompanied by ambiguous verification criteria.

An attempt is made at summing up the results of the architectural research into the Kazanowski Palace, one of the largest Warsaw residences in the first half of the 17th century. Thanks to the research into the structure of the former Palace preserved in the walls of the later Convent of the Discalced Carmelites it has been possible to identify the genuine 17th-century form of an asymmetrical palace with the main body and two wings. This layout, as it turned out, substantially differed from the Palace’s reconstructions so-far existing in literature. The uncovering on the Palace’s walls also allowed an almost full reconstruction of the disposition of its rooms and elevation fragments, e.g., attics. As seen against Warsaw architecture of the period, the plan of the piano nobile seemed quite peculiar. It contained two tracts of reception rooms: one in the Palace’s main body, the other in the northern outbuilding. Both tracts began with sizeable dining rooms, and leading through subsequent antechambers (partially exerting additional functions of, e.g., a library), they led to the lord’s reception bedroom located at the point where the main body bordered on the outbuilding. All this seems to be in line with court protocol which Adam Kazanowski, Marshal of the Court of the Crown, must have been well acquainted with. Next to the master’s apartment there was an apartment of his spouse, the two interconnected by a chapel. The reconstruction of the layout also allowed to associate respective rooms with fragments of a rhymed description of the building which Adam Jarzębski contained in his Gościniec [Guide to Warsaw]  from 1643, this helping to reconstruct the décor and furnishing of all the important Palace’s rooms, Moreover, the reconstructed 17th-century shape of the Palace allowed to undertake considerations related to the residence’s designer. It is known from the sources that while the Palace was being built, fee was paid to the architect and stonemason Constantino Tencalli, yet design solutions suggest that Giovanni Battista Gisleni may have participated in the designing process.

Tekst jest podsumowaniem wyników badań architektonicznych Pałacu Kazanowskich, jednej z największych rezydencji Warszawy w 1. połowy XVII w. Dzięki nim udało się ustalić pierwotną XVII-wieczną formę budowli. Rekonstrukcja planu pozwoliła na powiązanie pomieszczeń z fragmentami wierszowanego opisu z r. 1643, co umożliwiło poznanie wystroju i wyposażenia istotnych wnętrz pałacu. Zrekonstruowana forma pałacu pozwoliła także na rozważania na temat autorstwa projektu.

In 1596 the Church of SS. John the Baptist and John the Evangelist in Torun, regained from the hands of Protestants, was passed over to Jesuits to spread Catholicism in the city. Jesuits used all possible methods to do it; one of them was to influence people through art. Torun’s Jesuits started the process of changing the interior of the church, involving all social groups in the task. Members of Societatis Jesu, both closely connected with Torun and not related to the city, gave substantial sums of money to finance the altars. New fittings were founded by diocese priests connected with the parish Church of SS. Johns, e.g. the main altar, presented in 1633, was created thanks to Walenty Szczawinski – holding the function of the parish priest, who convinced his brother, the castellan of Brest and Kuyavia, to contribute. The next group of founders were representatives of the nobility from Royal Prussia, such as Ludmiła Niemojewska nee Lubieńska and Fabian Plemięcki, who financed the construction of the whole altars and provided regular material support to Torun’s Jesuits, the parish Church of SS. John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, and other churches from the area. A significant contribution of burghers to the process of fitting churches was typical of Royal Prussia. Protestant churches were full of epitaphs of patricians’ families, whereas Catholic burghers, although less a fluent, devoted large sums of money to liturgical equipment – e.g. the altar of the Descent from the Cross, which was founded by a haberdasher Maciej Gęza and his wife Katarzyna. Compared with all those different foundations, the contribution of Kulm (Chełmno) bishops was insignificant, although they had good relationships with the Jesuits. They might have concentrated on financing the college thinking that Torun’s Jesuits managed to obtain resources to equip churches from various social groups.

The article presents the conclusions concerning the "Cracow" provenance of some volumes originating from the former Bernardines library in Karczówka, which are currently stored in the Major Seminary in Kielce. Since the beginning of its functioning (the begining of the 1630s), the convent of the Friars Minor, the Observants was in the posession of the old prints (including liturgical manuscripts probably) donated by the province monastery authorities, Cracow canons as well as university professors. The identification of the specific items of the collection has been possible due to preserved provenance entries as well as other entries indicating the particular item’s purpose.

Artykuł prezentuje ustalenia dotyczące „krakowskiej” proweniencji niektórych woluminów z dawnej biblioteki bernardynów na Karczówce, które obecnie znajdują się w zasobie Biblioteki Wyższego Seminarium Duchownego w Kielcach. Konwent Braci Mniejszych Obserwantów posiadał od początku swojego funkcjonowania (lata 30. XVII w.) wiele starodruków (zapewne też rękopisów liturgicznych) przekazanych przez władze zakonne prowincji, jak również krakowskich kanoników i profesorów uniwersyteckich. Ich identyfikację umożliwiły zachowane proweniencje oraz inne notki, m.in. wskazujące na konkretne przeznaczenie.

The article analyses Francesco Pona’s biographic novel La Messalina. Pona on the one hand presents Messalina as a personification of lust, but on the other hand emphasizes her personality, as if he understands her behavior. We are under the impression that Francesco Pona’s Messalina chooses transgression not only in order to satisfy her own instincts, but especially because she wants to escape from a social role which she cannot accept and in which she cannot live, that is the role of the wife of Emperor Claudius.

Victims of the witch trials in the early modern period were mainly inhabitants of countryside and smaller towns. From the beginning of the 1970s in the Western historiography the phenomenon of the witch hunt has been researched as an essential component of the daily life of countryside inhabitants. In the Polish historiography the subject under discussion has been only marginally touched upon. The author, basing on the primary local sources, analyzes the witch trials in Mnichowo village in Greater Poland in the 17th century. The analyze confirms an essential influence of the belief in sorcery and activities of witches and sorcerers on a daily life of the local peasants and their neighbor relations.
PL
Procesy o czary w czasach wczesnonowożytnych dotyczyły przede wszystkim mieszkańców wsi i miasteczek. W historiografii zachodniej od początku lat siedemdziesiątych XX w. procesy te badane były jako istotny element życia codziennego mieszkańców wsi. W polskiej historiografii problem ten pozostaje na marginesie badań. W artykule autor, bazując na materiale źródłowym, analizuje przebieg procesów w wielkopolskiej wsi Mnichowo w XVII w. Analiza potwierdza wpływ wiary w funkcjonowanie czarownic i czarowników na życie codzienne chłopów, w tym na relacje międzysąsiedzkie.

The 17th century was a period when the French became more interested in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. One of the reasons was Marie Louise Gonzaga’s arrival in Poland. The relations between the Poles and the newcomers were changeable. As long as they were satisfied with low offices and were not interested in political affairs, they were welcomed in the country. When they began to intervene in politics, they met a wave of criticism. This also referred to the queen. Nevertheless, French travellers seldom described in his accounts examples of aggression on the part of the Poles. On the contrary, they wrote about the hosts’ kindness and hospitality.
PL
XVII wiek był okresem, w którym nastąpił wzrost zainteresowania Francuzów Rzeczypospolitą. Jednym z powodów było przybycie nad Wisłę Ludwiki Marii Gonzagi. Stosunki Polaków z przybyszami układały się w sposób zmienny. Dopóki zadowalali się niskimi urzędami i nie interesowali sprawami politycznymi, byli mile widziani w kraju. Gdy zaczęli ingerować w politykę, spadała na nich fala krytyki. Dotyczyło to również królowej. Niemniej jednak, francuscy podróżnicy w swoich relacjach rzadko opisywali przypadki agresji ze strony Polaków. Wręcz przeciwnie, pisali raczej o życzliwości i gościnności gospodarzy.
