This paper consists of three parts: 1. The current state of research on Ivan Lobojko’s memoirs (comments of Samuel Fishman, Abram Reytblat, Marya Prussak, Reda Gruskaite); 2. The biography of Ivan Lobojko (born 1786 in Charkov, died 1861 in Mitau) and his contacts with Polish scientists (the community of Vilnius University, Samuel Bogumił Linde, Joachim Lelewel and others); 3. Two approaches to the subject “Ivan Lobojko in the Polish scientific community on the basis of his memoirs” (I. Lobojko, Moi vospominaniya. Moi zapiski, ed. A.I. Rejtblat, Moscow 2013): a) the “external” method – “The Poles about Lobojko”, a comparison of Lobojko’s memoirs and Poles’ memoires (A.H. Kirkor, A. Malinowski, T. Dobszewicz), b) the “internal” method – “Lobojko about the Poles”, a reconstruction of the profiles of Polish scientists in Lobojko’s memoirs (Zorian Dołęga Chodakowski and others).

The article’s goal is to reflect on the perception of literary studies as an academic discipline in the 19th century Poland in the twenties and the thirties. The answer to this question may be found in lectures given in that time period at the University of Warsaw and at Vilnius University. The author analyzes excerpts of works by L. Borowski, E. Słowacki, L. Osiński and K. Brodziński in which they define the object of their studies and extrapolate on their methodological tenets. The analysis concludes with an attempt at defining the foremost tendencies in Polish literary studies of the time period, especially in regards to the relationship between the history of literature, literary theory and literary criticism.

The aim of the article is to present Polish studies at the Vilnius University – its history, present times and prospects for development. One of the basic goals of the Center for Polish Studies of the Vilnius University is, among others, educating specialists in Polish literature, culture and language in educational, cultural and state institutions in Lithuania. Thirty years of functioning of Polish studies at Vilnius University as a separate teaching and research unit within the structure of the Faculty of Philology have shown that it is an important and needed institution. The strengthened field of Polish studies at Vilnius University should exist as a permanent element of the structure of this university and as a necessary bridge in cooperation between Lithuania and Poland.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja studiów polonistycznych na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim – jej dziejów, współczesności i perspektyw rozwoju. Jednym z podstawowych celów działalności Centrum Polonistycznego Uniwersytetu Wileńskiego jest m.in. kształcenie specjalistów w zakresie polskiej literatury, kultury oraz języka dla placówek oświatowych, kulturalnych oraz państwowych na Litwie. Trzydzieści lat funkcjonowania polonistyki na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim jako odrębnej jednostki dydaktyczno-naukowej w strukturze Wydziału Filologicznego wykazało, że jest ona placówką ważną i potrzebną. Wzmocniony kierunek studiów polonistycznych na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim powinien istnieć jako trwały składnik struktury tej uczelni i jako niezbędny pomost we współpracy Litwy i Polski.

The article analyses manuscripts and other archival documents as pre-texts of literary texts, with a view to demonstrating how they may be used most effectively in literary studies. An examination report with questions that Adam Mickiewicz was asked during his diploma examination at Vilnius University is discussed. The author analyses other archival and printed sources as well, trying to reconstruct the desired answers to the questions, and then outlines the benefits of employing such an archival procedure in the analysis of Mickiewicz’s works.

Artykuł podejmuje kwestię roli rękopisów i innych dokumentów archiwalnych jako przed-tekstów utworów literackich. Stawia pytanie o to, w jakiej perspektywie badawczej ich wykorzystanie w badaniach literaturoznawczych może okazać się najowocniejsze. Zagadnienie to zostało przedstawione na przykładzie protokołu egzaminacyjnego zawierającego pytania zadane Adamowi Mickiewiczowi podczas egzaminu dyplomowego na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim. Na podstawie innych źródeł archiwalnych oraz drukowanych autorka podejmuje próbę rekonstrukcji pożądanych odpowiedzi na zadane pytania, a następnie wskazuje na korzyści, które mogą płynąć z uwzględnienia ich w analizie utworów literackich Mickiewicza.

This article presents an outline of the history of Vilnius University in the days of the Commission of National Education. It characterises an organisational pattern and educational objectives that were defined in the essential document of the Commission, ‘Ustawy Kommissyi Edukacyi Narodowey dla stanu akademickiego i na szkoły w kraiach Rzeczypospolitey przepisane’ [‘The Commission of National Education’s Acts for the Academic Estate and the Schools of the Commonwealth’]. Moreover, it presents the process of converting Vilnius Academy into a modern, enlightened university. It points to its functions, such as education, including teacher training, scientific research, promotion of knowledge and supervision over secular schools. It also presents the aspect of the professors’ effort to provide scientific resources for the development of mathematical and natural sciences and medicine. The author has outlined the pragmatic aspect of professors’ lectures as well. As in other schools of the Commission, the Lithuanian Main School’s crucial educational objective was to form good, enlightened citizens who could be useful to the state.

For several years now, Cercle d’Histoire Alsace-Lithuania has been carrying out an action aimed at complementing and popularizing knowledge about Ludwik Henryk Bojanus (1776-1827), an Alsatian naturalist and profesor at the University of Vilnius. The search for copies of Anatome testudinis europae, the work of Bojanus’ life and one of the most important zoological books of the nineteenth century in European and American libraries is one of the elements of this action. A detailed form will be sent to libraries in 2019. The authors have already obtained information on the copies in libraries in Paris, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Warsaw and Vilnius and also about a copy with coloured illustrations from a private collection in Germany.

Józef Zawadzki, the Vilnius bookseller and the editor, the animator of many important publishing undertakings, contributed extremely effectively to sustaining and the development of the scientific‑literary movement in Lithuania in the partition age. Moreover, he became involved very actively in coming into existence and publishing periodicals. He spared no effort to publish “Vilnius Daily” (in both periods of appearing it) or “Vilnius Literary Newspaper”. All action taken in this direction resulted from Zawadzki’s belief that magazines would influence the cultural life of the country very positively and be a place of the constructive criticism, as well as publishing and book advertisements. He cared about it both as the experienced editor, for whom the evaluation of published work was extremely helpful in gradual developing publishing successive initiatives, and for the bookseller caring for the information about the available writing production so that it could get through to the widest circle of recipients and arouse their interest.

An overview — even cursory — of literary culture in Lithuania in the first decades of the nineteenth century indicates there were many people who pursued poetry writing. According to Piotr Chmielowski, such a phenomenon did not exist then to this extent and with such intensity in any other part of Poland’s territory. As proof, in one of his works, he lists more than seventy names of poets who in the years 1815– –1822 had their poetry printed on the pages of journals published at the time. This number, certainly, does not fully reflect the scale of the said phenomenon. It should be noted that young people strove for a place on local poetry Parnassus, for example, also through parlor readings or through entries in memory books. Those young poets were often satisfied with minor, fleeting poems, handed from one person to another, without hope of the fruits of their poetic labor appearing on the pages of periodical press. Unfortunately, few of these poets possessed “talent above the mediocrity”, hence few manged to impress their audience. The paper aims to present selected views of contemporary audience concerning the poetry as its members also made an attempt at evaluation of the poems and aesthetic valorisation of the authors’ talent.

The Numismatics Department of the National Museum of Ukrainian History has in its keeping a little-known, but at the same time quite extensive and extremely interesting collection of ancient coins. Its core is formed by a collection which originally belonged to King Stanislaus Augustus. In its day it was the most magnificent Polish collection of coins and medals of recognized European rank. The collection went through rather complicated changes of fortune: e.g., by way of the Volhyn High School in Krzemieniec and Vilnius University it finally found it way to Kyïv. There it was initially kept at the University of Saint Vladimir as a part of coin room (Paweł Jarkowski, former librarian of the Krzemieniec High School was its organizor and keeper). Then it passed by the way of Peczersk Lavra to the National Museum of Ukrainian History. Until the Bolshevik Revolution it continued to grow, first through donations and acquisitions, and then also thanks to coins from excavations. Piercing or adding suspension loops was typical of gold Roman coins in the territory of Barbaricum, particularly those associated with the Dancheny-Brangstrup archaeological horizon (which linked the region of the lower Danube with Denmark by the way of Wielbark and Cherniakhiv cultures). These additional elements, as well as the domination of denarii from the time of the Antonines in the bulk of silver coins in the Kyïv collection, indicate that a part of this collection must have originated from local finds in the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and later from the area of Volhyn and Ukraine at large. Unfortunately, due to the fact that a vast part of the archives regarding the collection had perished or cannot be traced and the collection itself had become completely disorganised by numerous relocations and putting into hiding, it is usually impossible to establish provenance of specimens. There are, however, exceptions to this rule, and one of them is a quaternio of Licinius discussed in the article. Similarly, it is often difficult to determine whether the individual coins belonged to the collection of Stanislaus Augustus, or were acquainted later in Krzemieniec or Kyïv. Some of them must have been described in detail in handwritten catalogs prepared by F. Skarbek-Rudzki in the Volhyn High School in Krzemieniec and P. Jarkowski in the University of Vilnius. So far, these manuscripts have not been located in Kyïv archives. Some specimens from the Kyïv collection, especially the unique ones, can still be linked with J. Ch. Albertrandi’s descriptions of coins from the collection of Stanislaus Augustus. It is the case of four unique coins: an aureus of Septimius Severus, medallions of Valerianus and Licinius I and solidus of Valentinianus II; these specimens kept now in Kyïv colection must originate from the collection of the last Polish King (4 figures).

Twórczość literacka Antoniego Goreckiego sprowadza się w zasadniczej mierze do tzw. literatury okolicznościowej. Poeta wielokrotnie, przy użyciu pióra, komentował aktualne wydarzenia polityczne i społeczne. Ze szczególnym upodobaniem pisywał bajki polityczne, które przysporzyły mu największej popularności. Gatunek ten, poprzez częste wykorzystywanie tzw. języka ezopowego, stwarzał możliwość przemycania niewygodnych dla caratu treści. Nie zawsze jednak udawało się poecie uniknąć konfliktu z cenzurą, w wyniku czego znalazł się nawet w więzieniu. Co znamienne, twórczość Goreckiego była cenzurowana nawet po jego śmierci, na co przykłady odnajdujemy w lipskich wydaniach zbiorowych Pism z roku 1877 i 1886.

Literary work of Antoni Gorecki essentially resembles so-called occasional literature. The poet repeatedly made comments about the current political and social events by the use of a pen. He wrote political fables which were his real predilection and brought him the most popularity. This genre, by the frequent use of the so-called Aesopian language, created the opportunity to smuggle content inconvenient for the tsarism. Not always, however, did the poet manage to avoid a conflict with the censorship. As a result, he was even imprisoned. Significantly, Gorecki’s work was censored even after his death, as the examples can be found in the Writings of Leipzig collected editions of 1877 and 1886.

Chemia Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego

In Poland, Jędrzej Śniadecki was a continuator and one of the promoters of the French school of chemistry, initiated by the works of Antoine Lavoisier. Śniadecki came into contact with the foundations of this school, which included a new definition of the chemical elements, the principle of mass conservation and the oxygen theory of combustion, while still studying at the university in Kraków. His later studies at European universities and his knowledge of the most recent literature ultimately channelled his views on chemistry. This was reflected in Śniadecki’s academic publications, in particular in his textbook: Początki chemii: stosownie do teraźniejszego tey umiejętności stanu dla pożytku uczniów i słuchaczów ułożony y za wzór lekcyi akademickich służyć mające (The Beginnings of Chemistry: Composed in Accordance with the Current State of This Skill for the Benefit of Students and Auditors to Be Used as a Model for Academic Classes) Vilnius, 1800. It was the first original chemistry textbook in the Polish language. The author used his own chemical terminology, modelled after the new French terminology. The Polish systemic chemical terminology, which conveyed information about the type and composition of a given substance, had been introduced by Śniadecki three years earlier, during his lectures at Vilnius University. The names proposed by Śniadecki caught on and were used in Poland for several decades. Jędrzej Śniadecki’s original contribution to global science was his theory that explained the phenomenon of life and the interdependencies between matter in the animate and inanimate world. This theory, published in the years 1804–1811, in Warsaw in three parts, was translated into German and French. The Polish edition was entitled Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego medycyny doktora Teoria jestestw organicznych ( Theory of Organic Beings by Jędrzej Śniadecki, Medical Doctor). The first part was of great significance for the development of organic chemistry. When this work is compared with later publications by Justus Liebig, it can be shown that Śniadecki’s views had an impact on the writings of this German scholar.
