This paper first describes the functioning of first instance local courts of justice (called district courts) in medieval Poland, and against this background presents records of the District Court in Szadek. The historical documents, produced in the period between 1417 (first records) and 1768, constitute a separate archival file, which contains 106 volumes, between several hundred and over a thousand pages each. Ten of the preserved volumes are from the medieval times (1417-1510). The entries in the old books cover various matters: court Writs, information about court verdicts and sentences, lists of witnesses, records of credit and real estate transactions, obligations to settle payments etc. These archives are considered to be the main source for studies on landed gentry, but their vast potential has not yet been fully appreciated or exploited by researchers.

The present document contains a discussion of the circumstances and the course of the 1819 dissolution of monasteries, drawn up by tsar Nicholas I’s order of 1827. The ruler wanted to find out who had been the originator of the suppression, what plans it involved, who and how debated the project, and to what degree the decisions made at that time were subsequently effectuated. It was the Government(al) Commission of Income and Treasury –which may come as a surprise– that was appointed to prepare the study, rather than the Government(al) Commission of Foreign Denominations and Public Enlightenment, responsible for the administration of the property of suppressed monasteries. The author of Historical outline, Paweł Głuszyński, elaborated a brief history of the dissolution process, which was supplemented with copies of the most important records (nonextant in the documentation) illustrating its course. It is noteworthy that the outline emphasises the significant role of the Holy See in the subsequent stages of work on the suppression decree, and later on the course of its execution. The document is located in the fond Komisja Rządowa Przychodów i Skarbu, no. 1304, f. 112-118v, kept at the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw.

Under tsar Alexander I’s ukase of 13 March 1820, all members of the Jesuit order were forced to leave the territory of the Imperial Russia. Following this decision, the abandoned Jesuit church in Polotsk was taken over by the Piarists, and 20 years later it was transformed into an Orthodox temple. This conversion caused the equipment to be removed and transported to he former Royal Castle in Warsaw. The current source edition presents a list of objects from the Jesuit church in Polotsk drawn up in 1843, after they had been transported to Warsaw. The index comprises the information on the appearance, value, and number of the removed items which altogether constituted the entire decoration of the church. Among them one could find both altar paintings, as well as smaller objects, such as pieces of the so-called chalice linen. The document signed by the castle’s steward Leopold Gimbutt can be an important source for the research on the history of the Polotsk temple founded the Society of Jesus. Supplemented with the data from a 1855 inventory, included in the same card-board-bound unit, it may serve as an important contribution to the study of the subsequent fate of the pieces of the equipment from the Polotsk church. The list belongs to the collection of the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw, fond Castle Steward, no. 57, Castle Steward’s Records Concerning Objects Left by the Polotsk Jesuits.

The Kościuszko Uprising began on 24 March 1794, quickly turning into a national uprising against the partitioning powers. From the very beginning of the uprising its leaders called for donations for the army, addressing the call not only to the laity but also to the clergy. Despite people’s generosity, the commander of the uprising, Tadeusz Kościuszko, issued an order of requisition of silver kept in churches. The bodies responsible for enforcing the decree were order commissions established in various administrative units free from the enemy troops. The present article examines the work of the Grodno District Order Commission with regard to the requisition of church silver. The source edition is based on three documents kept in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw in the fonds Nabytki niedokumentowe Oddziału I [Undocumented Acquisitions of Department I] no. 110, part II. They are: Copy for the Board of the Grodno Commission issued to persons delegated to collect church silver of 24 May 1794; Register of church silver of the Parish Church in Suwałki made in the presence of commissioners delegated for the purpose of 10 June 1794; Register of church silver of the Wigry monastery of the Camaldolese Fathers made in the presence of commissioners delegated for the purpose of 17 June 1794. The published documents can expand the existing body of knowledge of the requisition of church property for the uprising. The scale of this enterprise is not yet fully known to historians of art owing to a lack of sources. This makes isolated surviving relics of that campaign all the more important, relics like the documents published above or accounting books. However, the vagueness of descriptions of the requisitioned objects prevent us from following their subsequent fate.

During my work on the film Wielkie Galicjanki (‘Great Galician women’), devoted to women born in the historical territory of Galicia (Halychyna) at the turn of the twentieth century and associated with the city of Vienna, I came across documents and information concerning the life of the eminent Lviv-born Polish musicologist Zofia Lissa, held in Austrian, Ukrainian and Polish archives. These sources mostly concern her childhood and youth. The numerous previously unknown or unpublished documents described in this article have made it possible to reveal or revise information relating to Zofia, as well as her parents, sister, grandparents and relatives on her mother’s side, and also to the period preceding her birth. Most importantly, my archive research has made it possible to correct the hitherto inaccurately given date of Zofia Lissa’s birth.

Autor artykułu, przygotowując się do realizacji filmu pt. Wielkie Galicjanki, poświęconego kobietom urodzonym na przełomie XIX i XX w. w Galicji i mającym związki z Wiedniem, natknął się, w różnych archiwach w Austrii, na Ukrainie i w Polsce, na szereg dokumentów oraz informacji dotyczących życiorysu wybitnej, urodzonej we Lwowie muzykolożki polskiej, Zofii Lissy. Mowa tu o faktach związanych przede wszystkim z okresem jej dzieciństwa oraz młodości. Szereg opisanych w artykule nieznanych wcześniej bądź też niepublikowanych dotąd dokumentów pozwoliło przedstawić nowe bądź skorygować dotychczas funkcjonujące dane na temat Zofii oraz jej najbliższej rodziny – rodziców, siostry, dziadków i krewnych ze strony matki, a także informacji związanych z okresem poprzedzającym jej przyjście na świat. Przede wszystkim wyniki kwerend przeprowadzonych przez autora pozwoliły na podanie, błędnie dotąd podawanej, prawdziwej daty urodzin Zofii Lissy.
