The article is an attempt to show different connections between modern science in 17th century and esthetics of Baroque. Culture progress had been connected with breaking the Renaissance rules of art – clarity and harmony, as well as with appearance of a new kind of art – varied, unclear and marvel. In both branches of knowledge erudition and necessity of getting to know as much as possible were the most important ideas; this became the background of particular Baroque occurrence: encyclopedism and erudition. The popular science literature genre known as scienta curiosa is strongly connected to those terms. The main subject of analysis is a treatise written by Wojciech Tylkowski, containing knowledge of mathematics, natural history and philosophy. Due to its form – which uses conceptual solutions, tricky, ridiculous questions and description of marvels, monsters and other curiosities – it is one of the most interesting examples of “practice esthetics” – using esthetics for popularization purposes.

The author presents Christmas motifs in carols diachronically: from the initial Incarnation (the birth of Christ) until the Epiphany. She is therefore interested in the description of the eight wondrous days and nights between the Christmas Eve and Epiphany in Roman Catholicism, Greek Catholicism and the Orthodox Church. According to the author, a dominant aspect of the wondrousness of that time is the co-presence of birth and death which becomes the beginning of new life. The experience of cyclical dying and coming back to life (present in the carol tradition) was also projected onto the visions of the world, or, more precisely, worlds, which come one after another, endlessly. The co-presence of the beginning and the end and the merging of their symbolism in Christmas carols has yet another aspect. The carols sung during Christmastide drew on Biblical typology, which for centuries served the Christian religious education.

In the present article an attempt is made to describe the use of fairy tale in catastrophist poetry, focusing more specifically on Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński and Tadeusz Gajcy’s works. Both poets allude to the despair of the Second World War by contrasting the idyllic Arcadia of fairytale world with the hopeless universe of the apocalyptic reality. Unconnected with the reality, fairy tale may seem unattainable, like an unseizable dream. But it can also be the victim of the omnipresent evil of the war and decomposes from the inside, unable to avoid its baleful power. A careful analysis of Baczyński and Gajcy’s works shows that this subtle relationship between fairy tale and evil or death recurs in their poetry, and is even widespread in their period. The popularity of this strategy raises therefore the question of the existence of a separate category that could be called ‘catastrophist fairy tale’. The paper is divided into three parts: the first part is devoted to Baczyński, the second one — to Gajcy and the third one offers a synthetic reflection on the notion of ‘catastrophist fairy tale’.
