Four Polish printed matters from the end of 16th century were highlighted in the article. Three of them, The Life and Death of a Princess from Parma (1581); Republic (1594); Joseph the Righteous (1596) refer to Lives of the Saints by Piotr Skarga. This is proof that the book was highly appreciated by the author’s contemporaries as a counter-reformation speculum, outstanding reading for women, and a point of reference for clergymen who wanted to prepare their own speeches. The forth printed matter is another sign of The Lives of Saints popularity (The Benedictine Rule circa 1597). What we find there is a slightly altered version of St. Benedict’s life, which does not mention the name of Piotr Skarga.

The article gives an insight into the hagiology (Old Russian житие) of Alexander Nevsky (ca. 1220–1263), Grand Prince of Novgorod and Vladimir. It was probably put down in the 1280s, at the Nativity Monastery in Vladimir, where his body was initially buried and where, in the late 14th century, he was canonised. The hagiology was written by an unknown author. About twenty versions of the hagiology, dating back to the 14th–19th centuries, have been preserved, and all in all, about 500 manuscript texts. The unknown author did not describe Alexander Nevsky’s entire life but focused on certain details essential for the hagiology, such as the Battle of the Neva, driving out the German invaders from Pskov, the Battle on the Ice, a campaign in the Lithuanian territories, and diplomatic relations with the Golden Horde and Vatican. The ruler is depicted as an ideal hero – a brave commander, a wise politician, and a skilful diplomat. The author has not attempted to show Nevsky as a real person but has rather constructed him as a good Christian, a saint, and a pious man, who believes in Christ and therefore defeats all the enemies of Russia. The hagiology of Alexander Nevsky is a pathetic work written in the superlative, which, based on the then canons, glorifies the hero, yet includes many inconsistencies and exaggerations. It is especially important to emphasise that the story strongly overestimates the Battle of the Neva (1240) and the Battle on the Ice (1242), which were actually of local importance only. In the description of the Battle of the Neva an interesting detail is an Izhorian called Pelkoinen (in the hagiology Пелгусий) or Pelkoi (Пелгуй). These names are the first recordings of words in Izhorian. It can be concluded that Alexander Nevsky’s hagiology was a significant religious work in Russian political and church history, which aimed, through overestimating the hero’s deeds, to create and canonise the figure of an ideal ruler, which in turn helped to strengthen Russian statehood and Russians’ national identity.

Hagiology is relatively young branch of theology. It deals with issues related to the study of holiness from theological perspective. The modern state of research on Orthodox hagiology in Poland is not advanced. The study on holiness in our country essentially boils down to the issues connected to the lives of saints. Therefore it is usually limited to the hagiography and is conducted more from literately than theological perspective. A bit more advanced study in the field of Orthodox hagiology than in Poland can be observed abroad. The researches in this area deal mainly by a few Russians, Greeks and Serbs. Some hope for the development of Orthodox hagiology can be associated with organized more frequently, mainly in Russia, in the beginning of this century, scientific conference on this subject. Favorable, although slow, changes can be seen also in the curricula of some universities of theology, where the subject named “hagiology” appeared recently.

The submitted article presents in outline the great musical forms dedicated to St Joseph.They developed in the Church especially in the 16th and 17th centuries with the increase ofthe cult and veneration towards the person of the Guardian of the Holy Family (1621, PopeGregory V). This applies to the proprium Missae (introits, alleluias, sequences, communions) as well as to the Baroque ordinarium Missae (Zelenka, Bassani, Zumaya) and litanies (Biber, Wagner, Biechteler, Eberlin, Lolli). The heyday of the latter is especially associated with the establishment of St Joseph as the patron saint of the Habsburg state and monarchy (1676).To the musical heritage connected with St Joseph belong also the oratorios of the Italian Baroque period (Cazzati, Colonna, Alberici, Perti, Corradini, Conte, Fischietti), especially the work of G. B. Pergolesi (La fenice sul rogo, ovvero La morte di San Giuseppe). Traces of musical references to St Joseph can also be found in the Classical (Haydn brothers, Albrechtsberger) and Romantic (Elsner, Ravanello) eras. Compositions dedicated to the Saint in the 20th and 21st centuries include masses (Peeters, Tinel, Krężołek, Kern, Korczak, Di Rocco) and oratorio works (Frisina, Golinski, Pałka, Schmid). They are important contemporary testimonies of transforming faith into culture (Pope John Paul II).

Przedłożony artykuł prezentuje w zarysie wielkie formy muzyczne dedykowane św. Józefowi. Rozwinęły się one na gruncie kościelnym zwłaszcza w XVI i XVII w. wraz ze wzrostem kultu i czci wobec osoby Opiekuna św. Rodziny (1621 r., papież Grzegorz V). Dotyczy to proprium Missae (introity, alleluja, sekwencje, communiones) a także barokowego ordinarium Missae (Zelenka, Bassani, Zumaya) oraz litanii (Biber, Wagner, Biechteler, Eberlin, Lolli). Rozkwit tych ostatnich związany jest zwłaszcza z ustanowieniem św. Józefa patronem państwa i monarchii habsburskiej (1676). Do muzycznego dziedzictwa związanego ze św. Józefem należą też oratoria okresu włoskiego baroku (Cazzati, Colonna, Alberici, Perti, Corradini, Conte, Fischietti), a zwłaszcza dzieło G. B. Pergolesiego (La fenice sul rogo, ovvero La morte di San Giuseppe). Ślady muzycznych odniesień do osoby św. Józefa odnajdujemy też w epoce klasycyzmu (bracia Haydn, Albrechtsberger), a także romantyzmu (Elsner, Ravanello). Do kompozycji dedykowanych świętemu w XX oraz XXI w. należą msze (Peeters, Tinel, Krężołek, Kern, Korczak, Di Rocco) oraz dzieła oratoryjne (Frisina, Goliński, Pałka, Schmid). Są one współczesnym świadectwem przekuwania wiary na kulturę (papież Jan Paweł II).

The article presents the theological interpretation of the sacred space of San Stefano Rotondo in Rome. It is the result of research in the area of saints and holiness – that is, hagiology. The aim of the research undertaken is to define the temple as locus theologicus. San Stefan is a rotunda. In the middle there is a presbytery illuminated by natural light. Around it is a nave with 34 frescoes depicting scenes of the martyrdom of saints from the first centuries of Christianity. The theological interpretation concerns the whole interior, including its artistic furnishings and architecture. It was done in the perspective of papal teaching onholiness as a daily experience of closeness to God and taking into account the assumptions of aspectual hagiology. She has led to conclusions that include a proposal to use a new term– „hagiological kerygma” for use in further hagiological research aimed at „theology for innovation.”

Artykuł przedstawia teologiczną interpretację przestrzeni sakralnej bazyliki San Stefano Rotondo (św. Szczepana) w Rzymie. Jest wynikiem prac badawczych w obszarze dotyczącym świętych i świętości – czyli hagiologii. Celem podjętych badań jest określenie świątyni jako locus theologicus. Bazylika San Stefano jest rotundą. W środku znajduje się prezbiterium oświetlone naturalnym światłem. Wokół jest nawa z 34 freskami, które przedstawiają sceny męczeństwa świętych z pierwszych wieków chrześcijaństwa. Teologiczna interpretacja dotyczy całości wnętrza, obejmuje jego wyposażenie artystyczne i architekturę. Dokonana została ona w perspektywie nauczania papieskiego o świętości jako codziennym doświadczeniu bliskości Boga oraz z uwzględnieniem założeń hagiologii aspektowej. Doprowadziła do wniosków, które obejmują propozycję użycia nowego pojęcia – „hagiologiczny kerygmat” z przeznaczeniem do zastosowania go w dalszych badaniach hagiologicznych, ukierunkowanych na „teologię dla innowacyjności”.

This article gives an overview of the great musical forms dedicated to St Martin of Tours. These are primarily liturgical compositions, connected with the reverence for the person of the saint which has been formed in the Church over the centuries. This group includes single-voice parts of the proprium Missae (Alleluia verses, sequences), multi-voice liturgical motets of the medieval period (Brassart, Roullet, Fresneau), as well as extra-liturgical works (de Grudencz, de Machaut). These compositions show the process of transformation of the image of St Martin, which was taking place at the time and was extremely important in terms of liturgical worship and popular piety: from a follower, bishop and monk, to a noble knight and soldier of Christ (miles Christi). Evidence of liturgical reverence towards St Martin can be found in the two masses (ordinarium Missae) of the medieval period (d’Amaerval, Obrecht), the motets of the Renaissance and Baroque (di Lasso, Palestrina, de Monte, Handl, Marenzio, Anerio, Mielczewski), the masses of the Romanticism (Stahl, Kircher, Bottazzo) and the 20th and 21st centuries (Miškinis, Pitzl, Nowak, Halter), as well as oratorio and cantata works (Kocsár, Schlenker) and hymns (Augustinas, Monks, Łukaszewski). The theological reflection presented in this article falls within in the field of aspectual hagiology, i.e. one that brings together specialists from various disciplines on a common research subject, i.e. ‘saints, holiness’, aiming at innovation.

Prezentowany artykuł stanowi przegląd wielkich form muzycznych poświęconych św. Marcinowi z Tours. Są to przede wszystkim kompozycje liturgiczne związane z czcią wobec świętego, jaka ukształtowała się w Kościele na przestrzeni wieków. Do tej grupy należą jednogłosowe części proprium Missae (wersety Alleluja, sekwencje), wielogłosowe motety liturgiczne okresu średniowiecza (Brassart, Roullet, Fresneau), a także utwory pozaliturgiczne (de Grudencz, de Machaut). Kompozycje te ukazują dokonujący się w tym czasie niezmiernie ważny na gruncie kultu liturgicznego i pobożności ludowej proces przemiany wizerunku św. Marcina od wyznawcy, biskupa i mnicha do szlachetnego rycerza i żołnierza Chrystusa (miles Christi). Dowody liturgicznej czci wobec św. Marcina można znaleźć w dwóch mszach (ordinarium Missae) z okresu średniowiecza (d’Amaerval, Obrecht), motetach renesansu i baroku (di Lasso, Palestrina, de Monte, Handl, Marenzio, Anerio, Mielczewski), mszach romantyzmu (Stahl, Kircher, Bottazzo) oraz XX i XXI wieku (Miškinis, Pitzl, Nowak, Halter), a także utworach oratoryjno-kantatowych (Kocsár, Schlenker) i hymnach (Augustinas, Monks, Łukaszewski). Przedstawiona w niniejszym artykule refleksja teologiczna mieści się w obszarze hagiologii aspektowej, czyli takiej, która skupia specjalistów z różnych dyscyplin nad wspólnym tematem badawczym, tj. „święci, świętość”, dążąc do innowacyjności.
