The article treats about the Czartoryski family, one of the most prominent families in Poland, which belonged to the circle of the enlightened in the 18th century. In the 19th century, in turn, after Poland had disappeared from the map of Europe as a result of partitions, they undertook various actions aimed at regaining the country’s independence. With a view to starting a museum, Adam Jerzy Czartoryski bought in Italy a magnificent work of art by Leonardo da Vinci, The Lady with an Ermine, which visited Madrid in 2012. In the course of the article, we follow the ups and downs of the painting, as well as the efforts of a few generations of Poles to preserve it till this day. In the second part of the article, we concentrate on the ties of the Czartoryski to Spain, and, above all, on their connections with the Spanish royal family. It is in this context that we talk about, among others, the daughter of queen María Cristina of Spain and her second husband Fernando Muñoz. The daughter in question was María Amparo who married Władysław Czartoryski. We also mention their son, August Czartoryski, who is the only beatified half Pole half Spaniard so far.

The period of interregnum after the death of Augustus III of Saxony and the first months of the reign of Stanislaw August Poniatowski was an unusually interesting period in Polish history. It shows who the Czartoryski princes were and how they prepared to govern the country. They did not hesitate to take power and bring the Russian army into the coun-try. Stanislaw Poniatowski, who took the throne as a result of the support of Catherine II and was completely dependent on Russian protectors, could not push his agenda or influ-ence the Russian ambassador even in ceremonial matters not to mention on more serious matters. Being very good players on the domestic political scene, the leader of the family had little international political or diplomatic experience, also taking into account the disparity of power between the „Familia” and the Empress of All of Russia, who was one of the most powerful monarchs in Europe, boded badly for the future of the country and exhibited Czartoryski and king in the worst light. Both the interregnum period and the first months of the reign of Stanislaw August clearly showed the dependence of both the king and the „Familia” on their Russian patroness as well as their inferior skills to conduct independent policy.

Okres bezkrólewia po śmierci Augusta III Sasa i pierwsze miesiące panowania Stani-sława Augusta Poniatowskiego to okres niezwykle interesujący w dziejach Polski. Ukazuje on kim byli i jakie przygotowanie do rządzenia krajem mieli książęta Czartoryscy, którzy nie zawahali się dla przejęcia władzy sprowadzić do kraju armii rosyjskiej i Stanisław Po-niatowski który objął tron dzięki poparciu Katarzyny II, a całkowicie zależny od swojej rosyjskiej protektorki wisząc u niej na przysłowiowym garnuszku, nie potrafił przeforsować swojego zdania u rosyjskiego ambasadora nawet w kwestiach ceremonialnych, o poważniejszych sprawach nie wspominając. Będący bardzo dobrymi graczami na wewnątrzkrajowym rynku politycznym, przy-wódcy „Familii” mieli niewielkie doświadczenie i umiejętności w polityce międzynarodo-wej i dyplomacji, co biorąc jeszcze pod uwagę dysproporcję sił pomiędzy obozem „Fami-lii”, a imperatorową Wszechrosji, jedną z najpotężniejszych monarchiń w Europie, fatalnie wróżyło przyszłości kraju i wystawiało Czartoryskim i królowi jak najgorszą opinię. Za-równo okres bezkrólewia, jak i pierwsze miesiące panowania Stanisława Augusta dobitnie ukazały zależność zarówno króla, jak i „Familii” od ich rosyjskiej protektorki, jak i ich niewielkie umiejętności do prowadzenia samodzielnej polityki.

The article is an introduction to the research of the book collection of Bernardine Fathers convent in Przeworsk. A few references in literature inform that the facility had a rich library, of which presently little remained of its former glory. Its fragments – once neglected, stolen, given away – can be found i.a. in the collections of the Bernardine Fathers in Cracow and The Czartoryski Library. The set of manuscripts and the resource of 15th and 16th centuries prints became the basis of research on the forgotten, but in the years of splendor valuable, collection. The main character of the text is Erwin Rödel – antiquary from Przeworsk, one of the main “suppliers” of the manuscripts and books to the Czartoryski library in Sieniawa, stemming from the repression after the November Uprising and the need to evacuate the collections from Puławy. Seriously depleted resource from Puławy was replenished and expanded thanks to the donations and numerous contacts of librarians from Sieniawa, such as Karol Druziewicz and Józef Łepkowski, with antiquaries and monastic libraries. He was well-deserved to Czartoryski family, bringing to Sieniawa many valuable library collections, not always gained fairly and in accordance with the librarian policy, however, and as a result – causing also problems arising from the claims of the previous owners, whose collections he diminished or even deconstructed. The preserved documentation shows that the monastery in Przeworsk through the actions of Rödel has lost 11 parchment diplomas dated from 15th to 17th centuries, 30 manuscripts from the City Archive (i.a. books of city assessors, courts, voyts, and registries), 10 other manuscripts of the time range from 16th to 18th centuries, and about 300 old prints (partly from the monastic library of Bernardines, partly from the fahters of The Holy Sepulchre). The belonging to the presented library is indicated by numerous provenance entries described in the text.
