The article refers to the author of translation of "Lidia" ("Lydie"; full title "Historia Florydana z Lidią" <"A History of Floridan and Lydie">) which is regarded as one of Wacław Potocki’s romances. There is much indication that Lidia is wrongly attributed to Potocki. The analysis of the epic shape of the piece in the context of the writer’s other romances, the manuscript condition, and the original language leads to the conclusion that Lidia was composed by a different author.

Artykuł dotyczy problemu autorstwa przekładu "Lidii" (pełny tytuł: "Historia Florydana z Lidią"), który wymieniany jest jako jeden z romansów Wacława Potockiego. Wiele przemawia za tym, że Lidia została Potockiemu przypisana niesłusznie. Analiza kształtu epickiego utworu w kontekście: (1) pozostałych romansów pisarza, (2) stanu rękopisu dzieła oraz (3) języka pierwowzoru – prowadzi do wniosku, że Lidia wyszła spod pióra innego twórcy.

This article describes the concept of patriotism, as shown in the writings of Wacław Potocki– a poet of the Polish Baroque. The analysis shows that the author, who came from the middleincomegentry, understood love for his country in two ways: firstly, as the commitment to defend itsborders during the numerous wars of the 17th century; secondly, as the obligation to perform one’scivic duties and adopt a pro-state and pro-community attitude. Raising these issues on several occasions,Potocki did not propose any major political changes with the aim of weakening the positionof the gentry or the aristocracy. Nevertheless, in his poetic reflections he was very critical of the conductof some representatives of those privileged social classes.

Recenzja stanowi omówienie edycji jedynego dramatu Wacława Potockiego „Dyjalog o zmartwychwstaniu Pańskim” w opracowaniu Agnieszki Czechowicz. O wysokiej jakości tej edycji zadecydowało m.in.: opatrzenie utworu bardzo rzetelnym wstępem; uwagi dotyczące źródeł XVII-wiecznego utworu – połączenie inwencji Potockiego z dwoma pasyjnymi misteriami dało formę określoną przez Czechowicz jako „pisarski eksperyment”; rozważania na temat retoryczności akcji „Dyjalogu”, wreszcie – próba ustalenia, czy utwór miał swą sceniczną realizację. Dużą wartość edycji stanowi wzorcowa transkrypcja tekstu Potockiego i wartościowe komentarze. Podobne zalety dotyczą transkrypcji i uwag do anonimowego źródła Dyjalogu, czyli do misterium „[Dialogus] de resurrectione D[omini] n[ostri] Jesu Christi”. Dzięki umieszczeniu obu dzieł w jednym tomie czytelnik może poznać metodę twórczą Potockiego.

The review is a discussion about the publication the only drama by Wacław Potocki’s “Dyjalog o zmartwychwstaniu Pańskim” (“A Dialogue about the Resurrection of Jesus”) edited by Agnieszka Czechowicz. The high value of the book is the effect of equipping it with a genuine introduction, remarks on the sources of the 17th c. text—a combination of Potocki’s inventiveness with two Passion mysteries, all of which, according to Czechowicz, gave the form called “a creative experiment,” considerations about the piece’s rhetoricity, and finally an attempt to establish whether the text succeeded in being staged. A great value of the edition is a model transcription of Potocki’s text and valuable commentaries. Comparable advantages refer to the transcription and notes about the anonymous source of “A Dialogue”, namely to the mystery play “[Dialogus] de resurrectione D[omini] n[ostri] Jesu Christi”. Due to inclusion of both texts in one volume the reader may discover Potocki’s creative method.

Artykuł dotyczy poematu Wacława Potockiego "Muza polska na tryjumfalny wjazd Najaśniejszego Jana III [...]", wydanego anonimowo z okazji koronacji króla Jana III Sobieskiego w 1676 r. Poemat ten, którego treść skupiona została wokół przebiegu wojny polsko-tureckiej z lat 1672–1676, ma charakter tyleż panegiryczny, ile epicko-historyczny. Przedmiotem uwagi autorki staje się poetycka kreacja wizerunku króla Jana III, którego najważniejszym przymiotem Potocki uczynił wstrzemięźliwość (temperantia) – cnotę opisywaną w Państwie Platona jako „pewien ład i wewnętrzne panowanie nad przyjemnościami i nad żądzami” oraz „moc nad sobą”, dzięki której w człowieku „cząstka lepsza panuje nad gorszą”. Podjęte przez Sobieskiego trudy walk uwieńczone zwycięstwami obrazują u Potockiego już nie tylko cnoty, którymi winien odznaczać się monarcha, ale stanowią alegoryczny wizerunek bojowania, jakie człowiek toczy z własną słabością i namiętnościami o panowanie nad sobą samym.

The article refers to Wacław Potocki’s poem „Muza polska na tryjumfalny wjazd Najaśniejszego Jana III [...]” (“Polish Muse for a Triumphant Entering of His Majesty John III […]”) published anonymously on the occasion of King John III Sobieski’s coronation in 1676. The piece, the content of which concentrates on the course of the 1672–1676 war waged between Poland and Turkey, is equally panegyrical and epic-historical in its character. The author of the paper focuses her attention on Potocki’s poetic creation of King John III Sobieski’s image, the most important attribute of which is temperance (Lat. temperantia) described in Plato’s “Republic” as an ability to abstain from lust due to which a man’s better part dominates over the worse one. The martial efforts undertaken by Sobieski and crowned with victories are depicted in Potocki’s poem not only as the example of regal virtues but also as an allegory of a war a man is waging against one’s own weakness and passions in order to gain control over oneself.

This paper presents the second critical edition of the poem “Rozbój duchowny” (“Spiritual warfare”) written by Polish poet from 17th century Wacław Potocki. The first edition, published in 1980, prepared by Jan Malicki, has some editorial mistakes, hence the poem was edited again. The commentaries explain biblical and mythological references, the meaning of Old-Polish words as well as the proverbs. The author also points out to the relationship between the text of the poem and work “Spirituale Christiani militis certamen” by Antwerp engraver Hieronymus Wierix and describes the theme of the knight of Christ as a leitmotiv in Potocki’s poems.

The paper touches upon the transformation described in Nowy cud w podgórskich krajach (A new wonder in the piedmont regions), a poem by Wacław Potocki, a 17th century poet: a roe deer turns into a wolf during the hunt on St. Martin’s Day (November 11). In traditional agrarian culture, it was the time of abundance, gluttony and fun − the autumn carnival, when such a transformation can be explained by the laws of the world upside down. In the poem, this has been juxtaposed with the metamorphosis of women into she-wolves. The Latin word lupa (‘a she-wolf’), meaning ‘a prostitute’, refers to the nature of women and their power to transform town houses into lupanars; this metamorphosis is so curious, as it happens permanently, outside the period of carnival licentiousness. It is related to the concept, embraced by Potocki, of the degeneration of the world, in which women’s extraordinary sexual appetites lead to a humiliating metamorphosis of men into deer.

The article shows the presence of the motif of a mechanical clock in Wacław Potocki’s poetry and it analyses as well his poetic reflection inspired by complexity of the clock mechanism. Chronometers, like other achievements of craftsmanship or culture, are treated by the poet as allegorical illustrations of the truths of the Christian faith and moral principles, as well as artful results of interpretations of the order that permeates both nature and the regularities of human affairs. The author of the paper shows that in the poems of the poet from Łużna, a watch becomes a “meditative piece” that inspires cosmological, anthropological and religious reflection. In Potocki’s writing, the clock mechanism stimulates reflection on the laws of the great mechanism of the universe and the civilization, and it reminds of the principle of entropy and its consequences as inevitable future of the world.
PL
W artykule zostały ukazane obecność motywu zegara mechanicznego w poezji Wacława Potockiego i kierunki refleksji, jakie poeta podejmuje, czerpiąc inspirację ze złożoności mechanizmu zegarowego. Chronometry, podobnie jak inne osiągnięcia rzemiosła czy kultury, traktowane są przez poetę jako alegoryczne ilustracje prawd wiary i reguł moralnych, a także przemyślne wykładnie porządku przenikającego naturę i prawidłowości spraw ludzkich. Według autorki pracy zegarek w wierszach poety z Łużnej staje się medytacyjną zabawką, inspirującą refleksję kosmologiczną, antropologiczną i religijną. W poezji Potockiego mechanizm zegara pobudza rozważania nad prawami wielkiego mechanizmu kosmicznego uniwersum i uniwersum cywilizacji oraz konsekwencjami wpisanej w świat entropii.

The analyses of two Baroque funereal series – Smutne zabawy (Sad games) by Wacław Potocki and Smutne żale (Sorrowful grief) by Stanisław Morsztyn included in this paper have made it possible to distinguish common features of the discussed works as well as identify significant differences. It is known that the two collections differ in terms of structure. Potocki’s series has a two-part composition, whereas Morsztyn’s works follow the topics of a classic epicede. Both are philosophical and reflective in nature, however each author emphasizes different issues in constructing a funereal memento. A common feature of both series is the authors’ reference to the Stoic philosophy, which is an important structural element of the mentioned threnodies. A comparison of the two works presents the funeral objects and points out the extent of imitation.

This article presents the results of an analysis covering a portion of the vocabulary found in Wacław Potocki’s literary works. The examination of the lexical structure of the poet’s writings was limited to the biblical proper names coming from the three-volume edition of the poet’s Dzieła (Works) (Kukulski 1987). The material was excerpted using the corpus method and the Electronic Corpus of 17th- and 18th-century Polish Texts (until 1772). The aim of this article is to divide the collected biblisms according to the onomastic classification and to discuss the findings of their functional analysis. The Bible was a significant source of creative and ideological inspiration for the 17th-century author, which was reflected in the presented collection of proper names, with the anthroponyms that fulfilled allusive and content functions winning the greatest share. The study is concluded with a compilation of the outcomes of the comparative analysis performed with regard to the frequency of biblical proper names, certified in W. Potocki’s Dzieła and in the corpus of Baroque texts.

The subject of this review is 'Przestrzenie Wacława Potockiego', a book by Krystyna Krawiec-Złotkowska, which takes up the problematics of genre and subject in the poet’s writings in the context of tradition. The reviewer notes the well thought-out, systematised structure of the study as well as the attempts at organizing the huge area of intertextual entanglements of Potocki’s work. She emphasizes also an open character of the study, which suggests that the research undertaken by Krawiec-Złotkowska should be continued.

Portraits of Judyta in Rafał Leszczyński’s and Wacław Potocki’s poems The article deals with the peraenetic representations of Judyta with particular emphasis on how she was portrayed in the epic poems of Rafał Leszczyński (1620) and Wacław Potocki (circa 1952). The author analyzes the differences of portrayal of the biblical widow in Guillaume du Bartas’ La Judit and the Polish paraphrasing of said text by Rafał Leszczyński (Iudith). Those differences were influenced not only by political, but also by moral and social factors. The best example and proof of that is the shortened and modest (as compared to the original) description of Judyta’s beauty found in Leszczyński’s text. Key words: baroque; Bible; Judyta; paraenesis; Rafał Leszczyński; Wacław Potocki;

The present study concentrates on animal names mentioned in the poems by Wacław Potocki who lived in the XVII century. The author of the present article has compiled a dictionary of animals which consists of 198 lexical items used 2000 times. She has observed that the predominant category belongs to animals found in Poland and which the poet was well familiar with. In his texts the names of animals denote the value of man.

The subject matter of my research is the black legend of Niccolò Machiavelli in Polish baroque poetry. This legend spread in the 17th-century Commonwealth on such a large scale that the name of this secretary of the Florentine republicbegan to be used to describe even kings or pretenders to the throne who were political opponents. For this reason, I described in this scientific article the literary works of poets such as Wacław Potocki, Wespazjan Kochowski and Stanisław Orzelski. The second of these authors acted in a similar way in The Stone of Testimony of the Innocence of the Great Senator in the Polish Crown, comparing the actions of the royal court to an infernal council, in which such characters as Machiavelli, Richelieu and Mazarini take part. In my scientific article, I will emphasize that this Polish Baroque poet also showed the secretary of the Florentine republic in his other literary works as a perverse and demonic person. I will also note that Wacław Potocki in his work negatively refers to those people who defame John III Sobieski in lampoons and accuse him of using “Machiavellian arts”. I will not ignore Stanisław Orzelski’s Macaronica carmina Marfordii Mądzikovii poetae approbatihere.

The paper focuses on biblical references to Samson (chapters 13–16 in the Book of Judges) in the Wacław Potocki’s (1622–1686) works. The author discusses the religious and cultural background, that could have influenced the poet’s biblical erudition. Moreover, he presents some examples of cultural reception of this motif. The analysis of poems referring to Samson shows Potocki’s attitude to the Israelite’s hero. The poet questions his superhuman strength, criticizes thoughtlessness and excessive trust yet he finds some traits that he can identify with. The author of this article determines the frequency of use of particular episodes of Samson’s story. The breakdown reveals a diversity of subject matter in the analyzed poems and innovative approaches to some literary motifs.

The paper deals with less well-known poetry of Wacław Potocki, which concerns Polish and Lithuanian relations. The poems show the multicoloured picture of social and political tensions between the Lithuanians and the Poles. A satiric tone and the moral high ground prevail in Potocki’s poems. Stable relations between Poland and Lithuania are perceived by the writer as the key factor for safety and development of the common country. The writings sometimes present a critical attitude of the poet towards the separatist tendency of Lithuania, and they also reveal the poet’s pride in belonging to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
