This paper is focuses on a topic which is very important for the better knowledge of the social and political evolution of the South-Eastern European area. The role of the Venetians, and also of the Greek, Armenian and Macedoromanian merchants, subject of the Venice Republic, was very important in Eastern Europe not only from an economic perspective, but also in what concerns the establishment and financial support given to confessional and secular schools, to publication of books in their national languages and to efforts at manufacturing and preserving their collective identity.

There is not much information about Anna Marcybella Hlebowiczówna Ogińska (1641-12th July 1681) in literarure. It is only known that she came from an influential and wealthy Lithuanian magnate family. She was a daughter of Jerzy Karol Hlebowicz (died 18th April 1669), the Vilnus voivode, and Katarzyna de domo Radziwiłł (died 1674). She had a sister Krystyna Barbara (died 11 September 1695), the wife of Kazimierz Jan Sapieha (ca. 1642-1720), the Vilnus voivode. On 4th February 1663 Marcybella married Marcjan Aleksander Ogiński (1632-26 January 1690), the Troki voivode. Anna’s mother, the aforementioned Katarzyna de domo Radziwiłł, was a staunch Calvinist and in this faith she brought up her daughters. However, both of them converted to Catholicism straight after getting married. Ogińska was considered an ardent convert, characterised by piety and religiousness. Anna was also a generous founder, making numerous Church and secular donations. Two years before her death Marcybella went down with a serious disease. Having received the Last Sacraments, she died in the company of three clergymen on 12 December 1681, aged only forty. Anna was characterized by many virtues, the ones which deserve the most to be mentioned were her sincerity, truthfulness, goodness and respect for her husband and the surrounding people.

The salvage archaeological excavations were realised at Janko Kráľ square in Zlaté Moravce. Traces of prehistoric settlement (the Neolithic) were found together with a modern cemetery and a settlement object. In the Object 1 fragments of glass bottle-shaped vessels, legged bowls and small vessels from the 17th century were revealed. At the cemetery 17 graves have been documented that sketched a modern society picture. The grave 12A with burial of a young woman included a bonnet originally embroidered with small glass beads of blue, white, green and yellow colours. The bonnet probably represents a national costume from the turn of 17th and 18th cent. A bronze welt that had made the bonnet fixed preserved also fragments of fabric and tapes from its skeleton. The high-quality glass and beads shapes are documenting advanced technology of glass products of this type. In spite of its small extent, the salvage excavation in Zlaté Moravce has brought results that enriched recent knowledge of life at the Zlaté Moravce site in the incipient modern era.

The article describes one of the oldest Polish 17th century sale catalogues of a private library. The catalogue presents an opportunity to get insight into composition and editorial issues of this type of publications. Not only does it show the beginnings of book auctions in Poland, but also allows to look into an interesting collection of books gathered by the Niclassius family of Gdansk. Part of the collection are over 220 Polish books which equals approx. 15% of the collection. This considerable number was unique in Gdansk libraries and may be explained by the fact that the clergymen who owned the library served at St. Peter and Paul's church which was a strong Polish center at the time.

This research article will examine merchant families and their businesses involving shipments between England and the Netherlands during the late seventeenth century. Despite the fact that historians have paid sufficient attention to merchant families during the pre-industrial period, these studies are still very important. This paper raises, illustrates and discusses the following questions: What role did merchant families play in early modern merchant settlements in England and the Netherlands in this period? Which goods were exchanged through export/import? The questions and answers in the paper are built on a detailed analysis of published primary sources: a select set of 74 personal business letters sent to the Marescoe-David Company of London (an inter-related London-based merchants family) from prominent Dutch merchants between 1668 and 1680.

The article examines the manuscript collection of sermons of the 17th century „Statir“ (Moscow, Russian State Library, Collection of Rumyantsev 411). The book was compiled by a priest from the Church of the Praise of the Mother of God in Orel-gorodok on the River Kama, the estate of the Stroganovs. The manuscript contains 156 homilies for various feasts, from which the text written for the service in honor of the feast of the Mother of God is selected. The historical context of the choice of the sermon‘s name is explained and the poetics of the sermon is examined. The main originality of the text is seen in the author‘s vivid presence, the idea of overcoming sinfulness is given a personal evaluation by the preacher. The author seeks to create the effect of people‘s unity in communion with the perfect image of the Mother of God. The Precept creates a synthesis of epic eschatological expectation and lyrical treatment of the soul. The sermon reveals individual feelings in line with the biography and personal qualities of the author, foreshadowing the future development of Russian philosophical lyricism.

Jerzy Szornel (1600-1677) was a son of Jan Szornel, lieutenant-colonel in the king’s army, and Zofia Wołczkówna. He received a sound education in the Lublin Jesuit College, at the University of Kraków, in a Jesuit College in Kalisz, at the Zamojski Academy, and later in the thirties he studied law in Padua. In 1634 he came back to his homeland, and like his father he bound up his career with the Zamoyski family, holding among others the office of advisor in the Zamojski Academy, a judge in the Zamość Court of Appeal, administrator of the lands in the Zamoyski entail. In 1653 he was elected the voivodship tax collector during a regional diet. Holding the office of a junior judge in Lublin in the years 1653-1658, and later of iudex terrestris, he became a well known person among the gentry. He was appointed to the position of the Speaker of the regional diet several times, an MP for the Sejm, a gentry representative from the Lublin voivodship. He showed skills and an interest in literature and science. Because of his numerous duties he resided mostly in Zamość and Lublin, lived in his inheritance in Skorczyce and in Wilkołaz leased from Zamoyski entail. Jerzy was married to Zofia Gano and after her death with Anna Michowska. In 1667 he founded Holy Trinity church in his inherited estate Popkowice. His will was made in Popkowice estate in July 1667. The widow was suspected by the brothers of the deceased of forging the testament and they formulated a protest in which they tried to prove their rights. Jerzy Szornel was buried in the vault of the Jesuit church in Lublin. His last will contains a lot of information disclosing a fragment of the testator’s reality, and the objection to the testament casts light on the family relationships and inheritance matters.

Authors’aimin this article is an interdisciplinary approach to localizing the first residence of the Franciscan sisters in the 17th century in Zamość. This work is based on unpublished analysis of archaeological and supervisory research, historical monographs and cartographic sources. A review of other publications concerning the same issue however from a more general point of view gives a reason for further critical considerations regarding the matter of localizing the original Franciscan sisters in the area of Ordynacja Zamoyska – a capital city of that times. An archaeological method was compared to the cartographic sources what resulted in providing especially significant pieces of information. The above mentioned issue in the history of Zamość has never been considered as a distinct field of any study.

The only surviving manuscript of a sermon pronounced by Stefan Jaworski in Kyiv on 8 September 1693 includes a “funeral note” commemorating Łazarz Baranowicz’s death. Jaworski’s sermon and funeral note, which in the extant witness follows the sermon, have neither been published nor studied before. By providing an analysis of both, the aim of this paper is to investigate and compare the works of the two preachers and poets, and to draw some conclusions about their personalities, poetic style, and worldview. Baranowicz’s poems and Jaworski’s sermon also provide some interesting details which shed new light on the literary and cultural milieu of Kyiv and Czernihów in the last three decades of the 17th century

The Seminar Library in Wloclawek and other local church and lay libraries still hold remains of rich private book collections once owned by members of the cathedral chapter. To date 41 owners of the 17th century manuscripts and old prints have been identified. The items in the collection are mostly liturgical books, theological, philosophical, historical and legal works as well as sermons. The canon men were all well-educated and had a good command of foreign languages such as Latin and Italian. A considerable number of Italian prints was probably brought to Wloclawek by the canons after they had completed their education at Italian universities like Padua or Rome. The bookplates and hand-written notes reflect canons' collector passion. The books were usually parchment bound, sometimes also cow skin or pigskin bound and embossed with gold. As no margin notes are present, it can only be assumed that the books were used in canons' regular pastoral, judicial and administrative work.
