Wacław Borowy (1890-1950) and Władysław Tarnawski (1885-1951) are scholars whose paths to university positions were neither straight nor obvious. Their life paths hardly ever crossed and they were not de facto close collaborators. Still, they both showed a love of learning, especially of Polish and English literature, as well as diligence in performing academic and social duties. The English scholars (or, in their case, scholars qualified in Polish studies, but dealing professionally with English studies) who were part of the intellectual milieu of the time, perhaps never achieved remarkable worldwide recognition but through their hard work, research skills and a detailed analysis of examined issues tried to improve the research on the history of English literature. One needs to remember that English scholars at the time were in scarcity. Władysław Tarnawski and Wacław Borowy together with Roman Dyboski and Andrzej Tretiak formed the hard core.

The article describes the heraldic motifs of Lviv in poetry and historiographical works of J.B. Zimorowic. It’s goal is to explain by what means, why and what for they are used by the poet. The important factor is an allegorical tradition of the bucolic, which heraldry is a part of. The author quotes and discusses poems and inscriptions by Zimorowic, known only through his work Leopolis [...] obsessa, that was originally placed on the gates of the Lviv (including emblems). Zimorowic had a deep knowledge of the history and coat of arms of Lviv, as he was a great admirer of the city. During his lifetime he was recognized by readers and residents of Lviv as familiar and local poet. The references to various aspects of Lviv that appear in his works are part of an overall strategy (poetic as well as lifetime one) – by writing about his family and local matters he hoped to improve Lviv.

Abstract is dedicated to the historical and culturological analysis of the contemporary names of streets and squares of Lviv, occurred from well-known Poles’ surnames. Are examined 1189 names, from which 72% arose via transformation of anthroponym. Are found 19 names, basis of which became Polish surnames. Analysis showed that the majority of names departs by its roots to Austro- Hungarian Empire or Soviet period, only 4 of them were appropriated already in the independent Ukraine. The persons who are immortalized, first of all, are representatives of the different branches of culture, science and skill. Most of them represented literature - in 9 names. Among the onymical motivations were found 3 types: 1) motivation by the direct connection of man with the street or the city (place of stay or bury), here are involved such names, as Банаха, Запольськог, Бой-Желенського, Коноптцьког, Фредра 2) the creation of the immortalized personality is valuable for the Ukrainian culture or contains elements, connected with the Ukraine (Кльоновича, Кольберга, Ожешко, Словацького), 3) the reputation of immortalized face has the world nature (Коперника, Мщкевича, Шопена). The first type possesses real motivation, when second and third type names are only memorial names, especially productive in contemporary urbanonymy. Analysis was made on the basis of the dictionary-handbooks by B. Melnyk and S. Gromov.

The text is a translation of the article by Grigory Aleksandrovich Vorobyev Въ столице Галицкой Руси published in 1901 in the 86th volume of “Istorichesky Vestnik”, a historical and literary periodical published in Sankt Petersburg. Vorobyev (1860-1907), collegial councillor in the Płock Governorate, the president of the Military and Police Division of the Łomża Governorate, court councillor and justice of the peace in Ostrołęka, and also a passionate historian and amateur ethnologue, manifested kindness towards the Poles, rarely expressed by Russian officials, and showed interest in Polish history and culture, evident in his numerous publications in Polish and Russian periodicals. In early June 1900 he presumably visited Lviv on the occasion of his participation in the Third Convention of Polish Historians in Kraków. The monuments of Jan III Sobieski and Jan Kiliński, the Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic and Armenian Catholic cathedrals, the chapel of the Boim family, the Jesuit Church and the Dominican Church, the Wallachian Church, the Church of St. Nicholas, the Church of St. Onuphrius, The Orthodox Church of St. Paraskeva, the Monastery of the Order of Saint Basil the Great, the Golden Rose Synagogue, The Market Square, the Stauropegial Institute, the National Ossoliński Institute, The Dzieduszycki Museum, Lychakiv Cemetery, archives and libraries are the monuments which he described in the present article, enhanced by a brief historical note and his impressions of the life of the city.

Establishment of the veterinary university in Lwów would not be possible without the political support of Galician authorities, i.a. A. Potocki and S. Zamoyski, Galician and Viennese MPs, and professors A. Biesiadecki, P. Seifmann, H. Kadyi, and J. Szpilman, who performed repeated and uninterrupted activities of both official and unofficial character. Their contribution, postulates, commitment, and work undertaken, had overcame the resistance of central governmental powers. Creation of the Lwów veterinary academic school enabled training not only Polish veterinarians in their mother tongue, but was also an opportunity for students from other Slavic states. The aim of the work is to show the role of political and administrative supporters of the illustrious idea of the Veterinary School, and then lead to its elevation to the Academy.

The articles republished now in Pamiętnik Teatralny first appeared in the Lvov Słowo Polskie in 1930–1931. They are reprinted here with an introduction discussing the historical context in which they were written. The texts belong to the early period of work of the outstanding theatre scholar, and they at the same time shed light on a short yet important episode in the history of the Lvov stage that had to do with Leon Schiller. Even though the articles had been inspired by the editor-in-chief of Słowo Polskie, Wacław Mejbaum, they also revealed Terlecki’s own convictions and expressed his involvement in the so-called “battle for Schiller” [batalia o Schillera]. The issue was first to allow Stanisław Czapelski and Zygmunt Zaleski to take over the management of the municipal theatres, as they offered the position of artistic director of the Drama Department to Leon Schiller, and then to provide Schiller with the wherewithal to carry out his creative work, which meant mostly to make some organisational changes within the theatres. And finally, when Schiller had resigned and left Lvov, Terlecki carried on the battle so that the Municipal Council accept Wilam Horzyca as manager, which it did, thus enabling Schiller to come back. The articles reveal the polemical temperament of Tymon Terlecki, his early fascination with the work of Leon Schiller and the way in which their author contributed to the development of the stage in Lvov.

The article presents Józef Tomicki (1863–1925), an engineer, the president of the Municipal Electrical Plant (MZE) in Lviv and an outstanding activist of Polish electrical engineering associations. He had graduated from the Polytechnic in Karlsruhe. In 1894 he took a job in Lviv, where he participated in the construction of an electric tram, the first in that part of Europe. As a recognition of his contribution he became the president of the Municipal Electric Railways, which kept growing and soon was transformed into the MZE. As president Tomicki joined in the process of electrification of Lviv and all Galicia. He was a member of the Polytechnic Association, within which he founded the Electrical Engineering Section, the second oldest organisation of Polish electricians. He also made a significant contribution towards the creation of the Association of Polish Electric Power Stations and the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers.

The period of study in the life of Stefan Grabiński has not, as yet, been widely discussed or analysed. There have been mentions in literature of the writer's great erudition and the importance of environment that formed him. However, a thorough analysis aimed at showing the actual influence of particular people on intellectual development of Polish Poe has not been conducted. This article fills the gap, basing on archival materials such as student directories of Lviv University Department of Philosophy and Grabiński's exam file. A list of lectures which he attended made it possible to reconstruct names of particular professors and fellow-students who may have influenced his horizons. It also served as a source of information about the writer's address details during his academic years. Moreover, it has been presented that Grabiński's erudition was, to a large extent, a result of his tremendous diligence, hard work and reliability in performing duties, as well as familiarity with the world of Lviv's intellectuals of that time.

Entertainment played a major role in the cultural life of the Jewish community that constituted about one third of the population of Lvov before the Second World War. The article discuses a broad array of such shows, from popular folk performances to artistic cabarets and outdoor stage concerts. The folk current, especially strong before the First World War, was represented by klezmer musicians and the legendary Broder singers who came to Lvov with songs about the hardships of life of indigent Jews. Their performances in pubs, inns, and gardens attracted poor and uneducated audiences while being shunned by the intelligentsia. Jewish audiences, this time intellectual elites as well, enjoyed kleynkunst performances, or artistic cabaret shows modelled on their Polish and Russian counterparts, staged with care for their high literary and artistic merits, but infused with Jewish folklore and everyday experience of the community. Lvov never had its resident Jewish cabaret, but it was visited by Warsaw and Łódź kleynkunst theatres, such as Sambation, Azazel, Scala, Ararat, Di Idisze Bande, and others that formed just to play in the summer season. These theatres created their own stars, who toured with their own recitals; among them were the diseuses Hilda Dulickaja and Chajele Grober, the Ola Lilith and Władysław Godik duet, and the dramatic singer Wiktor Chenkin. The outdoor stage acts included also soloist dancers, students of Lvov dance schools, reciters, including the world-famous Herc Grossbart, and cantors. These numerous and varied entertainment shows were part of the local colour of Lvov, one of the greatest centres of Jewish culture in the world.

The town hall and its role in shaping the archives and chancellery of the town of Lwów in late medieval times(Summary) There is no information on the initial period of operation of the municipal chancellery in Lviv. The town writers and documents issued by the council and the municipal tribunal were first mentioned in the second half of the 14th century. One of the chancellery’s basic tasks was to produce and maintain documents of various provenance. The first, unfortunately lost, archive was established in the second half of the 14th century. There are various hypotheses as to its location, including the former town hall, which was erected around the mid-14th century. The archives were burnt down in 1381 together with the town hall, as is mentioned in the old chronicles of Lviv and later in the town books of Lviv. From the early 15th century, with the development of various forms of chancellery, the town hall became the place where activities of the chancellery and of particular offices of the municipality were conducted; the place where current documentation was maintained, the place where official activities took place and parties for the chancellery staff were held. Until the end of the 15th century the municipal archives were housed in the town hall, then in the house of the writer, in a building on Szewska Street. The most important documents and deeds were stored in the treasury at the town hall.

Lviv, being a second publishing center after Warsaw, also has its share in the production of children and adolescents literature. During the interwar period there were publishing companies working in the city which willingly lead a publishing policy in this field. In general, there were 787 titles for young readers published in Lviv. The main investors of these books were Państwowe Wydawnictwo Książek Szkolnych, Atlas Library, the “Odrodzenie” Publishing Company, R. Wegner Polish Publishing, and the Ossolińscy National Publishing Company, who published 75% of the young reader’s books. The main goal of the article is to present the offer of Lviv’s investors in this area and to capture the nature of the Lviv publishing center.

The article was based on the statistical data from “Wiadomości Statystyczne o Mieście Lwów” and “Statystyka Miasta Krakowa”. These sources can provide conclusions about groups which undertook migration, most often an internal one within the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The analysis of statistical data suggests that Cracow was a city more open to admitting migrants to its gmina and admitted them more than Lviv. Both cities preferred men, middle-aged or older, married couples, with means of support, Austrian citizens from Galicia. Cracow made more exceptions to this rule by admitting people from other countries of the Monarchy and foreigners. The Lviv councillors’ preferences were more conservative; however, in this city they decided voluntarily, while in Cracow, most people were admitted on the basis of the prescription of the right of belonging.

Artykuł oparto na danych statystycznych publikowanych na łamach „Wiadomości statystycznych o mieście Lwowie” i w „Statystyce miasta Krakowa”. Źródła te pozwalają wnioskować o grupie, która podejmowała migrację, najczęściej wewnętrzną, w obrębie Monarchii Austro-Węgierskiej. Z analizy danych statystycznych wynika, że miastem bardziej otwartym na nowo przynależnych do gminy był Kraków, który przyjął ich więcej niż Lwów. W obydwu miastach preferowano mężczyzn, osoby w sile wieku lub starsze, pozostające w związku małżeńskim, mające zapewnione podstawy utrzymania, obywateli austriackich pochodzących z Galicji. W Krakowie częściej czyniono odstępstwa od tych reguł na rzecz mieszkańców innych krajów monarchii i obcokrajowców. Preferencje radnych Lwowa miały bardziej zachowawczy charakter, aczkolwiek tam radni decydowali dobrowolnie, podczas gdy w Krakowie większość osób przyjęta została na podstawie zasiedzenia prawa przynależności.

Andrzej Pronaszko’s text in the current issue of Pamiętnik Teatralny is a previously unpublished account of the artist participation in the defence of Lvov in 1918. It is a part of the memoirs written by the artist in the 1950s, the manuscript of which is being kept in the collection of the Theatre Museum in Warsaw. Among other things, Pronaszko recalls how he fought for the Citadel and Main Post Office, how he helped to stop a military’s drinking bout in a villa in Sykstuska Street, and how, in recognition of his merits, he was sent to the critical Bem Sector with the mission to establish order and discipline among the soldiers. He also claims that he took command of the left wing and managed to regain possession of the Wolność (Freedom) Street. Andrzej Pronaszko’s notes are a valuable source for his biography and an addition to historical studies and literature devoted to the Defence of Lvov. They require, however, critical reading and careful comparison with other historical sources.

The activity of Feliks and Rudolf Nowowiejski plays a significant part in the history and culture of pre-war Lviv and Vilnius. In the years 1906-1912 Rudolf was a chaplain and a secretary of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Lviv J. Bilczewski. At that time Feliks entered into cooperation with music circles of Lviv where the world premiere of the oratorio Znalezienie św. Krzyża [Finding of the Holy Cross] took place. Biographies of the two brothers are also associated with Vilinius. Rudolf for many years taught Latin in the J. Slowacki Lower Secondary School. Rela- tions of Feliks with that city are primarily associated with a rapidly growing singing movement there. Melody of the Rota was until 1929 the official bugle call of Vilinius. In organ and choral music of F. Nowowiejski one can find references to the most significant symbol of the city - Our Lady of Ostra Brama painting. However, the inspirations by Białowieża wilderness produced such works as Hejnał Prezydenta R.P [Bugle call of the President of the Republic of Poland] and the triptych Teka Białowieska.

The presence of Jews in the representations of Galician cities was both one of the results of the introduction of their equal rights, and its consolidation. Jews present in municipal governments took care about matters relevant not only for their community. They engaged in key projects directed at all citizens, regardless of faith and nationality. The voting system (due to the specific division into circles and curiae) preferred the richest and the best-educated. In consequence, the Jewish community was commonly represented in city councils by those coming from families of assimilated representatives of intelligentsia, merchants and bankers. Obviously, the greatest percentage of white-collar employees could be observed in bigger cities, being seats of courts, barrister’s chambers, notary offices, secondary schools and higher education institutions. Therefore, from that time on, their voice could be heard in the public space and had to be taken into account.

Entrepreneurs made up about a quarter of the burghers involved in the industry of the interwar Lviv. However, a vast majority of them were the owners of small workshops, large entrepreneurs accounted for less than 5% of this social class. But the small and medium-sized businesses dominated among the factories' owners. During the interwar period, the quantity of entrepreneurs decreased among the persons involved in the city's industry. There was also a tendency to reduce the use of the hired labour by them. The employment structure of the Lviv entrepreneurs during the 1920s-1930s did not change significantly, but it varied depending on the size of the share capital. A vast majority of the small artisans were employed in the sewing and haberdashery, food, construction, woodworking and metalworking industries, while the owners of large enterprises invested their capital in the food, printing, mineral, wood and paper industries. From the ethnic and denomination point of view, the Lviv entrepreneurs were dominated by two groups: Poles (Roman Catholics) and Jews, while Ukrainians (Greek Catholics) and the representatives of other nationalities accounted for a small percentage. However, during the years 1921-1931 they showed a rapid growth rate.

A Polish scholar, literary critic, university lecturer, theatre lover, great organiser and speaker, an associate of a number of scholarly journals and newspapers, a man of impeccable manners, and patriot, Marian Szyjkowski undoubtedly stands out as one of the most outstanding examples of the Polish-Czech research co-operation, or even of a much wider ‘mission – to bring both nations closer to each other‘. Szyjkowski‘s life began in Lviv, then the capital of Galicia of an autonomous era. The atmosphere of his family home, the Polish-language high school and an extremely high level of university studies were a formative infl uence on Szejkowski. Next came Kraków, with its Jagiellonian Library, subsequent degrees, signifi cant publications, PAU (the Polish Academy of Learning) membership. His life nevertheless took the main turn when Szyjkowski became the Head of a newly established Department of Polish Language and Literature at Charles University in Prague.

The article describes the initiatives of the Jewish community in Lviv in the area of special education taken during the Galician autonomy period (1867–1918) and in independent Poland (1918–1939). It is based on little known references kept in Lviv and Cracow archives. Lviv Jews’ interest in the education of blind and deaf children was awaken by Vienna, where the first schools for the deaf and the blind in Europe had been established. The article presents the functioning of the first Jewish center for deaf children and adolescents on Polish lands – it was established by Izaak Józef Bardach in 1871. The institution functioned as a private school, supporting itself mainly through subsidies from the city of Lviv and from the local Jewish community till 1939 when it was incorporated into the state school for the deaf at Łyczakowskiej street. The Jews from Lviv contributed to the establishment of the first Jewish school for the blind in Poland. It was set up in Bojanowo in 1926 and transferred to Warsaw in 1936. The article expands the current state of research on the history of schooling for people with disabilities on Polish lands, showing the contribution of the Jewish community to the development of schools for the deaf and the blind.
