Abstracts

EN

Father Ignatius’ works, which are part of the Carmelite biographical writing, are characterized by extraordinary literary, psychological and cultural values. They are a valuable source of knowledge about the history of the 17th century. They show how Old Polish biographical writings, and, broadly speaking, narrative prose, developed. Like most Carmelite autobiographies of that time, they are parenetic, focusing on inner life and spiritual development of an outstanding individual, that is why their in-depth analysis reveals a model of contemporary spirituality, a desirable model of sanctity. The major hagiographic work by Father Ignatius (and the only printed one) is Żywot i wysokie cnoty W. Matki Teresy od Pana Jezusa Marchockiej klasztorów karmelitanek bosych we Lwowie i Warszawie fundatorki. His other works are known from manuscripts.
