During the interwar period in Vilnius new specialist botanical gardens emerged as a continuation of the Botanical Garden of Vilnius, which was set up in 1781 and was already well-known in the country and whole Europe. Two of them were organised as a part of Stefan Batory University. Namely, in 1919 The Botanical Garden of the Chair of Botany, and in 1923 The Medicinal Plants Garden of The Chair of Pharmacognosy and Medicinal Plants Breeding were created. The founder of the latter was professor Jan Kazimierz Muszynski, the then head of the Chair of Pharmacognosy. Professor Muszynski, together with his co-workers from the Chair and the Garden, mainly with Waclaw Strazewicz (the garden inspector), was gradually realising the aim of creating the national herb industry. All of the research work conducted in the garden (acclimatisation, selection, breeding, studying the chemical content of plants), along with the didactic and popularizing work were connected with achieving this goal. The Medicinal Plants Garden was set up at the back of the farm Curve of the Neris, which belonged to the university. At first, the surface area of the place amounted to 1 ha but it was continually increasing. In 1939 the Garden could boast approximately 10 ha. One part was devoted to displaying the plant species of the gathered collection, as there was the so-called 'display' section and the systematic section. Some of the plants were shown in habitat groups. A large part of the Garden was occupied by the experiment section, where research was held. The Garden possessed Polish largest in the interwar period experimental plantations of such plants as: Hydrastis canadensis, Gentiana lutea, Rhamnus, Bergenia crassifolia and liquorice. Long-lasting study of the varieties of Glycine contributed to success; a new variety was selected. It was called Vilnius soybean and had high parameters of breeding in the conditions of Eastern Europe, as well as high fat content. Glycine, as a plant with large amounts of precious protein, fat and minerals was promoted by the team of professor Muszynski as a good plant to be kept on large areas, so that ample food in the country was ensured.

The subject of this paper are the language testimonies to the history and culture of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania remained in the onomastic of the city of Vilnius in the years 1918-1939. The study explains the origin and the etymology of the names fixed in the different urbonims, toponims, architektonims of this city. The paper contains a linguistic and culture analysis of the onims connected with: a) persons (Trakt Batorego <- Stefan Batory, Baszta Giedymina <- Giedymin), b) historical events (Lubelska Street <- Unia Lubelska, Pozarowa Street <- the great fires that plagued Vilnius in 1513-1530), and with other facts which testify the timeless heritage value of the former important State powers.

Vilnius and especially the district of bohemians — Užupis is the main place where the action of Jurgis Kunčinas’ novel Tula takes place. Narrator describes a plan of the district with great accuracy and thereby gives it specific personality. The district plays an individual role of a character who lives their own life. Simultaneously, the city gets carnality and some kind of human physiology — “innards and cesspit of real Užupis tear apart.”

General Lucjan Żeligowski took control over Vilnius in autumn 1920. At the beginning, the city was controlled by Middle Lithuania and after 1922 it belonged to the Republic of Poland. The Lithuanian government in Kaunas and some Lithuanians did not want to accept this fact. Different attempts to change the existing situation were made while discussing the problem on the international arena. A plan of regaining the town with the support of the border states was made in circles of the paramilitary organization of the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union. The publication contains the unrealized plan along with a historical preface of the publisher.

The volume of Vilnius guild documents - written down from the end of the 15th century until the mid-18th century - published in 2006, is a good source for historical as well as linguistic (also onomastic) studies. It comprises remarkably valuable anthroponymic material which includes approximately one and a half thousand surnames of different origin - Slavic (mainly Polish and Belorussian) and non-Slavic (mainly German and Scandinavian, less frequently Lithuanian). It certifies the early period of the formation and functioning of a burgher's surname in Vilnius and, simultaneously, verifies some opinions on a typical character of the structure of a burgher's surname. It can be observed that surnames with the formative -owicz, -ewicz were the most popular among Vilnius burghers. Besides, a very early introduction of surnames with the formative -cki, -ski, originally typical of the nobility, can be also noticed. Furthermore, the anthroponymic material is a proof of complex ethnic relations showing that the Vilnius burghership constituted a multiethnic group which consisted of Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, German, Scandinavian and Jewish population as well as of representatives of a number of other nations.

“IDZIE O TO, ŻEBY SZŁO. MIAŁO WZIĘCIE. DZIAŁAŁO. ŻYŁO”. IMPROWIZOWANIE FILOMATÓW

The article discusses improvisational performances of the Philomaths in the context of the advent of a so-called modernity which correlated with a rapid change in people’s lifestyles. My starting point in examining the most characteristic phenomena of the literary life in Vilnius is the newly emerged economic environment: the enormous popularity of improvised poems (performed or written impromptu) and the development of the printed press. The analysis of the Philomaths’ performances, letters and poems focuses on various aspects of improvising, and not only on poetry presentations but also on a spontaneous way of living and the process of literary production. I argue that the improvisational activity of the Philomaths can be considered as an act of experimenting with and adapting various (traditional as well as innovative) literary patterns, and therefore as a poetic laboratory of the new romantic era.
