The article discusses the testamentary bequests and the attached instructions which Armand de Bourbon, Prince of Conti, cousin of Louis XIV younger brother of the Great Condé, made in view of the approaching death for the benefit of people of his household. In his young years, he rebelled against his father, who had intended him for the clergy, and then against the king, becoming one of the most active leaders of the Fronde. Ultimately, he became reconciled with the monarch, which he achieved through marriage with the niece of Cardinal Mazarin, Anna Maria Martinozzi. Having associated himself with the Jansenists, he adopted the principles of moral rigour. In his last will, the prince apologized to the people around him for the grievous example he had set as a rebel, and provided for a part of his servants in separate bequests. The documents in question are concerned chiefly with those domestics of the prince who upon his death had to leave his household, as well as with the various settlements made by the widow during the months following her husband’s departure. The accounts reveal how Armand de Bourbon remunerated his servants and how he, as well as his wife, sought to ensure further welfare of people once employed at their court and had to be dismissed upon the prince’s death. This involved paying outstanding compensation for their service and settlements of potential debts. This may be inferred to have been due to changes in the organization of the household, but also interpreted as an act for the peace of prince’s soul and due execution of his last will, in which he called for all his liabilities to be settled.

The article presents the settlements and household accounts following the death of Armand de Bourbon, Prince of Conti, as well as testamentary and pre-mortem bequests the prince made to provide for his servants. Surviving documents show the decision taken by the executors of the last will, while the books reveal ambiguous, sometimes astonishing variation of amounts designated as wages and lifetime stipends for the prince’s domestics, as well as attest to the concern of the testator himself and his wife for the fates of people engaged in the household.

The article shows the transformation that Grodno underwent in the 18th century in the light of accounts of peregrinates from Western Europe. In the first half of the century, a provincial, uninteresting Lithuanian town reluctantly visited by Western European travelers, in the second half of the century gained significantly a power of attraction. To a large extent, the city owed its transformation to Lithuanian Court Treasurer Antoni Tyzenhauz, which the travelers emphasized unanimously. The change in the face of the city was also reflected in eighteenth-century Western European publications.

The present paper constitutes the second part of the publicaton of Coptic ostraca discovered by Tomasz Górecki in the Theban hermitage MMA 1152. The twenty-eight texts edited here are of legal and economic character, including a few letters of protection and tax receipts, fragments of private contracts, and various economy-related documents (lists, accounts, dipinti). While attesting to a limited administrative activity, these texts, like the letters, reveal their whole value when compared with other documents of the same sort coming from the region.
Poland’s reformed pension system has been under construction since the late 1990s. The originally introduced model, based on the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), open pension funds, employee pension funds and employee pension plans, was supplemented by individual retirement accounts, individual retirement security accounts and employee capital plans. Poland’s accession to the European Union did not significantly change this structure, but the implementation of the Directive on the Activities of Institutions for Occupational Retirement Provision and Supervision of Such Institutions introduced foreign employers and foreign managers into the system of occupational retirement programs and occupational pension funds. The regulation on the pan-European individual pension product will supplement this system with a third individual product, the pan- European individual pension product. This will introduce an additional complication to the Polish pension system, but will not constitute a fundamental change to it, nor to the Polish capital market.
