Under the rule of Grand Duke of Tuscany Peter Leopold there were undertaken in this Duchy some reforms of relationships between the State and the Church. The reforms reached their climax an occa sion of the Synod of Pistoia. It has been for a long time now that the historians had a concern in them. What makes up a particularly interesting but simultaneously controversial problem are the doctrinal roots of the discussed reforms. What is in dispute is the question of Italian Jansenism. The Italian his‐ torians usually emphasize that such Jansenism existed, this opinion being challenged or even rejected by some English and French historians. The latter argue that Jansenism, as fully developed theological doctrine, was detectable only in France. Likewise, these historians claim that in case of the reception of Jansenism we in fact deal only with the shallow and primitive substitution of the views articulated by the bishop of Ypres. The article tries to demonstrate that it is not possible to speak of only one in‐ tellectual tendency that decidedly affected the shape and the course of the discussed reforms. It was sometimes fairly incidental and not perfectly coherent mélange of various political, legal, theological and economic tendencies, not infrequently distant one from another, that made up the intellectual basis of the work that was focused on the change of the Church relationships in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

When ruled by Peter Leopold (1765–1790), the Grand Duchy of Tuscany was regarded as the “model state of enlightened absolutism”. Young ruler carried out numerous reforms in his state. They were of political, social and economic nature. The area in which there was an attempt made to introduce considerable changes were the relationships between State and Church. The first stage of reforms was concluded with the synod of Pistoia. On occasion of holding this synod, the reformers, headed by bishop Scipione de’Ricci, tried to introduce a series of changes into the relationships inside the Church. The changes varied from those of organizational type to those referring to theology and dogmas. The aforementioned synod ended with the victory of reformers, yet an attempt to transfer its achievements into the territory of other dioceses of Tuscany faced the resistance of conservative episcopate and caused a spectacular defeat of the reformatory camp (gathering of bishops in Florence). The conflicts between State and Church, observable in the international scene, usually ended with the victory of State authorities but the plans to drum up the support of multitude for the Church reforms produced a countereffect in the form of riots against the reform-oriented clergy. The crowd protests in Prato, Pistoia and Florence were designed to defend the traditional model of religiousness, cult of saints, relics and pictures as well as the Latin language as used in liturgy. These protests forced the millieu of bishop de’Ricci to resign from the remarkable part of planned reforms.

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE HISTORY OF COMMISSION ESTABLISHED TO EXPLORE THE AFTERMATH OF THE MILITARY CAMPAIGN OF 1939. TADEUSZ CYPRIAN VERSUS, JERZY GIERTYCH – CASE STUDY The paper discusses an unknown episode in the history of Polish political emigration during World War II. In order to bring to accountability the members of the former government there were established, under the auspices of government in exile, the special investigation commissions. They were designed to determine the causes of the defeat suffered by Poland in the war of 1939. The commissions collected documents and information but frequently exceeded the boundaries of their competence resorting rather to political vendetta than amassing the archival material. The paper explores an individual case but both the persons involved in it as well as its context may arouse our interest. Both personae dramatis were the functionaries of one of the investigation commissions. It was in the course of the work of the Commission that T. Cyrian – who, before the war, was a judge of the Poznań Apellate Court – become accused of having collaborated with the German intelligence. While retorting the blames laid on him, the accused filed an action with the court against the slanderer. The description of the trial shows the atmosphere prevalent both in the millieu of Polish emigration as well as in the commissions themselves. Even the members of the commissions were not protected against the blames that might be laid on them or defamations as produced by the most impassioned devotees of the policy that tended to make the members of the previous regime answerable.
