The biographical entry for Piotr Artomiusz, penned by Maria Sipayłłówna, published in the "Polish Biographical Dictionary" in 1935, has been so far the most complete and synthetic description of life and works of this outstanding preacher and the author of a hymn-book of unique value. M. Sipayłłówna in her biographical entry and subsequent works unwaveringly claimed that Artomiusz was a follower of Lutheranism. In the meantime new works have appeared adding new supplementary facts to his biography. As it turned out, Artomiusz leaned rahter to Calvinism. Although he was a "Polish priest" in the Lutheran Church in Warsaw, Węgrów and Toruń, yet he was a Calvinist priest in Kryłów. This was possible because Polish Protestants (Lutherans, Calvinists and Chech Brothers) had been in a confessional union since 1570 on the basis of the Sandomierz accord. Artomiusz admitted that he was ordained a priest in the Evangelical-Reformed Church, which testifies to the fact that he was a Calvinist. He did not emphasize his religious preferences and in Toruń he celebrated church services according to the Lutheran liturgy. It would be great interest to examine whether Artomiusz's Calvinist views influenced both his theological (sermons) and musical (hymn-book, Toruń 1587) output. In this paper the author draws attention to a monograph in Toruń in 1595, in which Artomiusz took an active part. The sermon he preached during the synod, as well as the opinions he expressed during the debate, show that he was a fervent supporter of observing the rules accepted by Polish Protestants in Sandomierz in 1570.

The article constitutes an attempt to initiate research on the attitude of the Toruń community towards the political authorities after the martial law, the basic subject of which is not the opposition but a broad cross-section of society. The aim of the article is to examine the moods and behavior of the personnel of Toruń’s enterprises, with special emphasis on employees not belonging to the political opposition. The files of the archival collection of the Provincial Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party in Toruń and selected underground magazines were used for the research. The conclusions reveal the ambiguous and variable, if not radical, attitude of Toruń’s workers to the authorities in the discussed period, and the fact that dissatisfaction was based mainly on the economic grounds.

On 17 July 1724, the local Jesuit college was broken into and vandalised by a mob of Toruń Protestants. These events, the so-called tumult of Thorn, prompted a strong reaction from the Polish authorities. Under the court’s ruling, Mayor Johann Gottfried Rösner and nine other people who were found guilty were beheaded. This case resonated strongly in Europe. The prevailing opinion in the historiography is that the conduct of the municipal authorities following the tumult was slow and indecisive. In the light of the recently discovered sources (fragments of the drafts of city council minutes, originally destroyed during the siege of the city in 1813), it can be concluded that in the first days following the tumult the council did undertake an investigation, in which the blame for provoking the riots was quite explicitly placed on Jesuit students, and information about the incidents was sent to the council’s resident at the royal court in Warsaw. However, the decision to take any further steps was indeed procrastinated. The Jesuits were much quicker to disseminate the information about the harm done to their order in Toruń across the whole country.

The article describes the attitude to the trade unions in Toruń’s enterprises aft er martial law at the beginning of 1989. It includes quantitative and qualitative data about trade union membership and their social reception. It refers to the condition of the trade unions in the district and in the country. The research is mainly analytical. The article also contains synthetic information and attempts to analyze the data. The comparative approach plays a very important function and it also embraces the reception of the trade unions in individual enterprises. The most attention was given to the trade unions in the biggest enterprises – ZWCh “Elana” and TPCz “Merinotex”. Originally, in both factories workers displayed a visible dislike to the trade unions, but between 1986 and 1987 the trade union membership rose considerably in “Merinotex”. The article also deals with members of the Polish United Workers’ Party. Although the party’s authorities advocated the party’s members’ involvement in the trade unions, in the beginning workers were not particularly interested in joining them.

W artykule przedstawiono dzieje muzyki w Toruniu od chwili lokacji miasta do jego przejścia pod polską administrację na początku roku 1920. Podjęto w nim różne aspekty funkcjonowania muzyki w społeczności miasta począwszy od miejsc jej występowania, poprzez okazje, w których można było ją usłyszeć, oraz osoby zajmujące się jej wykonywaniem, po podstawowe informacje o wykorzystywanych instrumentach. Historia tego wycinka kultury została ukazana w okresie staropolskim oraz w czasach zaboru pruskiego. W pierwszym z nich muzyka została podzielona na sakralną oraz świecką. Dużo uwagi poświęcono jej obecności w toruńskich szkołach i kościołach, a także pojawianiu się jej w trakcie różnych uroczystości oraz życiu codziennym toruńskich mieszczan. W części obejmującej zabór pruski omówiono muzykę dzieląc ją na profesjonalną i amatorską. Do pierwszej grupy zaliczono działające w Toruniu kapele wojskowe, opery i inne przedstawienia wystawiane w tutejszym Teatrze Miejskim oraz nieliczne koncerty muzyki poważnej. Znacznie bardziej rozwinięty był ruch amatorski, w którym uczestniczyli zarówno niemieccy, jak i polscy obywatele miasta. Ważnym elementem dla tej drugiej grupy był patriotyzm. Członkowie polskich towarzystw organizowali uroczystości ku czci narodowych bohaterów oraz publikowali polskojęzyczne pieśni. Zarówno w okresie staropolskim, jak i pruskim, wymieniono najistotniejsze postacie związane z funkcjonowaniem muzyki w Toruniu na przestrzeni dziejów

The article presents the history of music in Toruń from the year of the town’s foundation until it was taken over by the Polish administration at the beginning of 1920. It addresses various aspects of the role of music among inhabitants of Toruń starting from the places where it was played, through occasions when it could be heard, down to people dealing with music. It also includes basic information about the instruments used to play music. The history of this fragment of culture was shown in the Old-Polish period and during the times of the Prussian partition of Poland. In the former period, music was divided into sacral and secular. Much emphasis was placed on music’s presence in Toruń’s schools and churches, during various ceremonies and in everyday life of Toruń’s burghers. The part addressing the times of the Prussian partition discusses music divided into professional and amateur. The first group includes various military music bands, operas and other performances staged in the Municipal Theatre along with few concerts of classical music. The amateur musical community was much more numerous – it consisted of both German and Polish inhabitants of Toruń. Patriotism was a major aspect for the latter group. Members of the Polish societies organized ceremonies to sing Polish songs  in honour of national heroes. The article enumerates the most important figures connected with music in Toruń of  the Old-Polish period and in the times of the Prussian partition of Poland.

Der Artikel präsentiert die Musikgeschichte von Thorn von der Gründung der Stadt bis zu ihrem Übergang unter polnische Verwaltung Anfang 1920. Es geht in ihm um verschiedene Aspekte der Funktion von Musik im Leben der Stadt, beginnend mit den Orten, an denen sie gespielt wurde, über die Anlässe, bei denen man sie hören konnte, die Personen, die sie ausführten bis zu grundlegenden Informationen über die verwendeten Instrumente. Die Geschichte dieses Bereichs der Kultur wird für die altpolnische Zeit und für die Zeit im preußischen Teilungsgebiet dargestellt. In der ersteren wurde die Musik in geistliche und weltliche unterschieden. Große Aufmerksamkeit wird ihrer Präsenz in den Thorner Schulen und Kirchen gewidmet, ebenso im Verlauf von verschiedenen Feierlichkeiten und im Alltagsleben der Thorner Bürger. Im Abschnitt zum preußischen Teilungsgebiet wird unterschieden zwischen professioneller und Amateurmusik. Zur ersteren Gruppe zählten die in Thorn tätigen Militärkapellen, die Opern und andere Vorstellungen, die im hiesigen Stadttheater zur Aufführung kamen, sowie zahlreiche Konzerte von ernster Musik. Wesentlich weiter entwickelt war die Musik von Amateuren, an der sich sowohl deutsche als auch polnische Bürger der Stadt beteiligten. Große Bedeutung für die letztere Gruppe hatte der Patriotismus. Mitglieder polnischer Gesellschaften organisierten Feierlichkeiten zur Ehre von Nationalhelden und publizierten Lieder in polnischer Sprache. Sowohl für die altpolnische als auch für die preußische Zeit werden die wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten genannt, die im Lauf der Geschichte mit dem Musikleben in Thorn verbunden waren.
