Almost from the moment of scientific “discovery” of 17th century Polish plebeian poetry scholars debated on the problem of its authorship. Doubts arose from the fact that the texts were published pseudonymously. Literary historians inclined to various conceptions, claiming authorship to be the most difficult to settle. The present article introduces new arguments for identifying Jan Dzwonowski with Jan of Kijany and Januarius Sovizralius. It is claimed that the author in question originated from the village of Dzwonowa and was an organist in a parish church in the town of Brzostek (now Dębica poviat, Subcarpatian Voivodeship).

Niemal od chwili naukowego „odkrycia” XVII-wiecznej polskiej poezji plebejskiej trwała dyskusja dotycząca kwestii jej autorstwa. Wątpliwości wynikały z faktu publikowania tych utworów pod pseudonimami. Historycy literatury skłaniali się ku różnym koncepcjom, uznając kwestię autorstwa za najtrudniejszą do wyjaśnienia. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono nowe argumenty pozwalające na utożsamienie Jana Dzwonowskiego z Janem z Kijan i Januariusem Sovizraliusem. Wydaje się, że autor ten pochodził z wioski Dzwonowa i był organistą w kościele parafialnym w miasteczku Brzostek (dziś powiat dębicki, województwo podkarpackie).
State emergency aid provided to the Pilzno County inhabitants who had suffered material losses as a result of the warfare in May 1915 was a short-term solution. Initially, the reconstruction of houses was subsidised with the aim of allowing the citizens to survive the upcoming winter. The funds constituted only 16% of the approximate value of the destroyed buildings. Small amounts of money were also handed out to help citizens start or resume business activity. Although the financial support was not sufficient, it enabled the payees to deal with the dramatic consequences of the war.
