The collection of Masonic literature currently held at Collegium Martineum at AMU never fails to surprise with its uniqueness. During the cataloguing process and physical processing of the books from the collection, the author came across an extraordinary eighteenth century manuscript. The manuscript included the literary output of Freemasonic songs from the period of the reign of Louis XV, hand-written by an anonymous author. As a result of the analysis of the manuscript, the period of its origination was successfully established as well as the original song books from which the bulk of the included texts had been taken, the place of its origination and the author of 27 valuable engravings included in the manuscript (the artist was the founder of a famous network of engravers in Paris in the seventeenth century). Further scrutiny of the manuscript has also revealed the admirable way the book was composed. The song book provides an intriguing opportunity for historians of Freemasonic music to explore further the musical collection of Poznań University Library.

Znajdujące się obecnie w Collegium Martineum UAM zbiory masońskie wciąż zaskakują swoją unikalnością. W toku ich opracowywania znaleziono niezwykły rękopis XVIII-wieczny przedstawiający spuściznę francuskich pieśni wolnomularskich z okresu panowania Ludwika XV, napisany przez anonimowego autora. W wyniku analizy rękopisu udało się zidentyfikować: okres, kiedy został zapisany, śpiewniki, z których pochodzi większość tekstów, autorów dwóch pieśni i przewidywane miejsce warsztatu jego składania oraz autora 27 cennych rycin, którymi jest ozdobiony rękopis, czyli założyciela słynnej sieci grawerów w Paryżu w XVII wieku. Rękopis zachwyca techniką składania i równocześnie otwiera pole dla historyków muzyki wolnomularskiej do dalszych poszukiwań w zbiorach muzycznych Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Poznaniu.

So far, the issue of recognition and legitimacy of king Stanislaus August on an international scene has not aroused any particular interest among Polish scholars.  The aim of the author is to present the singular role which the children of the late king August III played in the matter of recognition of the new king elect by the courts of the so-called southern arrangement in  1764-1766.             The period of the first two years of Stanislaus August’s reign was of paramount importance to the new king, since at the time he still enjoyed a relative freedom with regard to his Russian patroness, tsaritsa Catherine II. The new monarch devoted the time immediately following the election  to the efforts to have his majesty recognized and then perhaps to form an alliance, even by marriage, with one of the Western states (France in particular), in order to consolidate his invariably weak position within the Republic itself, as well as his standing on the international scene with respect to Russia.             Unfortunately, the countries opposingRussiaandPrussia, belonging to arrangement which received the denomination of “southern”  after the 7 Years War, namelyFrance,AustriaandSpain, recalled their representatives fromPolandshortly before the election of Stanislaus August, thereby demonstrating their stand on the person of the new king, in whom they saw a Russian puppet. Moreover, thanks to the efforts of Marie Josephine of Saxony, daughter of the late king August III, sister of a  new candidate to the throne and the Dauphine at the court of Versailles, it was decided that the recognition of the power of the new king should be withheld, until Saxon interests in Poland had not been properly secured, and until the Saxon supporters had not regained their former positions and properties.  From the victorious election of Stanislaus August in September 1764, the losing French candidate, and at the same time a brother of Marie Josephine, crown prince Francis Xavier of Saxony, kept the family resolved not to accept envoys from the new king and not to enter any talks with him until the conditions set by the Saxon family had not been met.  Thus, Saxony efficiently obstructed the recognition of Stanislas August by allied states,France,AustriaandSpain, until October 1965 when the act of mutual renouncement of all financial claims on the part ofPolandandSaxonyhad been signed and appropriate pensions and appanages voted by the Polish parliament for princes Francis Xavier and Charles of Kurland. Once the Saxon demands had been satisfied, Louis  XV, Marie Therese  and Charles III took the decision to recognise the majesty of Stanislaus August in early 1766.
