This paper has three main aims. The first part focuses on the Dresden Bible, the oldest translation of the Bible into Czech, which was destroyed during the First World War. The author warns of the difficulties over chronology within the framework of the group of manuscripts around the Dresden Bible and concludes that for the development of the style of its illuminator, the Master Breviary of the Grand Master Leo, this manuscript was of great importance. He also believes this manuscript clearly demonstrated the complexity of the artistic relations between individual illuminator workshops. The second part focuses in the Litoměřice‑Třeboň Bible and mention is also made of Queen Kristýnaʼs Vatican Bible, which the author believes is associated with the Zittau Antiphonary A IV. The variety of iconography in Czech Bibles between 1350 and 1420 is also indicated.

The Krakow missale has been supposed to originate at the end of the 15th century but its ornaments refer to the Czech book painting of the first half of the 15th century. The antiphonary of Zbigniew Oleśnicki plays an important role in this context. The local ornaments are the work of a workshop specialist undoubtedly of the Czech origin. The identic ornamental system of the Krakow missale shows that te manuscript is the work of the workshop of the Antiphonary of Zbigniew Oleśnicki. The Krakow missale can therefore be supposed to be dated as of 1420.

The paper is engaged with a definition of the typolotgy and modifications fo the caligraphic initials, compared with the typology of painted initials, and also with a comparative study of the terminoloty used in different languages for the specific compositions. The interest is also focused on relations among countries, regions and workshops that participated in the transformations of the caligrafic initials. The subject is studied on a broad period, from the Late Antiquity till the 16th century, but without a typology of fleuronée, only compositions of the body of the initials have been taken into consideration.

The paper focuses on the classification of the types of the Gothic illuminated initials in the manuscripts from 1250s to 16th century. The theme is studied in the context of the (Pre)Romanesque starting points and parallels in the Italian 15th century Renaissance illumination. The study also concretizes relations among Parisian workshops active in the 13th century, Italy and Central Europe, mainly in the 13th and 14th centuries as well as it indicates the importance of the scriptoria active in Bohemia under the Luxembourg dynasty for the evolution of the initials types in the Central Europe in the period before and after the Hussite wars, from the point of view of the relation of the centre to the production of the subordinate countries of the Bohemian Crown and to adjoining countries.

By a detailed analysis of decoration and collation of this manuscript it was found out that three principal masters participated in its decoration. The top quality of the decoration can be found in the work of the first master continuing the Byzantine, Venetian, and Saxon-Thuringian creation. The second master uses the first master´s work. The work of the third master is quite different as it is connected with original Bohemian production – with the Mater verborum manuscript. This different quality of illuminations allows to suppose that the codex originated in a scriptorium acting somewhere in Bohemia and employing a number of artists and their helpmates.

The paper focuses on two basic issues from the writings of St. Augustine: the matter of being and the problem of ontologism. Augustine’s considerations offer a subtle and innovative proposal, which bodes well for further research prospects. The author himself never acknowledged the fact that the notion of being has priority over theory of cognition. Similarly, intuition itself (also in the context of faith) does not imply the unity of cognition and being. Nevertheless, one cannot deny the presence of a certain anthropological-cognitive triad in Augustine’s thought: it manifests itself in the unity of the moment, namely the consciousness of the subject, of being, and of existence. It is impossible to determine unequivocally whether Augustine's views can be described as ontologism. On the basis of our philosopher's personal experiences, God, unattainable for the human mind, remains an eternal light. However, that does not indicate a stance where the Augustinian visio would imply a direct vision of the nature of God. The analyses carried out in the article remain to some extent open.

Mapping – nowoczesny sposób iluminowania obiektów architektonicznych fascynuje licznych odbiorców. Powszechnie stosowany model percepcji wzrokowej, model Müllera, z 1834 roku, jest prosty i łatwy do zrozumienia ale niestety nie wystarcza do wyjaśnienia tego fenomenu. Modele bardziej zaawansowane, uzupełnione o teorię Umweltu Uexkülla daja satysfakcjonujące wyjaśnienie. W naszym Umwelcie nie występują wielkogabarytowe, szybkozmienne zjawiska, a jeśli się pojawią, zwiastują zagrożenie. Umysł obserwatora mappingu, jest poddany huśtawce emocjonalnej i z tego powodu przekaz perswazyjny, kierowany do podświadomości, nie jest krytycznie analizowany przez kore mózgową. Stąd mapping wydaje się świetnym medium do reklamy perswazyjnej, kierowanej do umysłu nieświadomego.

Mapping − a modern art of architectural illumination is fascinated for many observers. Widely used model of visual perception (Müllers model, from 1834), seems to be very simple and easy to understand, but unfortunately is not enough to explain this phenomenon. More advanced models, supplemented by the theory of Umwelt (by Uexküll) give a satisfactory explanation. In our Umwelt there are no large-scale, rapidly changing phenomena, and if they occur, they herald a threat. The mind of mapping's observer, is in the state of emotional swing and therefore persuasive message, goes directly to the subconscious mind, and it is not critically analyzed by the cerebral cortex. Hence the mapping seems to be a perfect medium for persuasive advertising, addressed to the unconscious mind.

EN
A particularly interesting question in medieval Irish literature, is decorating Psalters. Since the Biblical psalms were very popular among the Anglo-Saxons, they were often copied and decorated also in Ireland. Initially, the decoration was limited to ornamentation letters. Later there were elements depicting scenes from the life of David, which had its origins, according to F. Henry, in the Carolingian art. In this article, the author presents in chronological order all decorated Irish and Anglo-Saxon Psalters, which show visible influence of the Irish art (Cathach, Durham Cassiodorus, Psalter of Cantorbury, Cotton Psalter, Southampton Psalter, Ricemarcus’ Psalter, Liber hymnorum, Psalter of the St. Caimin).

W artykule podjęto próbę analizy werbalnych eksponentów światła w audiodeskrypcji – usłudze socjalnej dla osób niewidomych i słabowidzących – do dwóch filmów Andrieja Tarkowskiego: „Solaris” i „Stalker”. Udowodniono, że następujące obiekty widoczne na ekranie mają swoje werbalne reprezentacje w AD: źródło oświetlenia, oświetlenie naturalne jako sygnał pory dnia, blask jako odbicie promieni świetlnych, otwór w pomieszczeniu jako miejsce przemieszczania się światła, materia wytwarzająca światło, technika prezentacji obrazu w kadrze. Środkami językowymi są pojedyncze leksemy z semantyką światła, czasowniki, kolokacje. Wśród figur stylistycznych wyróżniono: synestezję, wyrazy kontrasty, metafory i porównania. Badania wykazały kumulatywność opisu światła w krótkich odcinkach czasu.

В настоящей статье предпринята попытка проанализировать вербальные показатели света в аудиодескрипции – социальной услуге для слепых и слабовидящих – к двум фильмам Андрея Тарковского: „Солярис” и „Сталкер”. Было доказано, что следующие объекты, замечаемые на экране, имеют свои вербальные репрезентации в АД: источник освещения, естественное освещение как сигнал времени, сияние как отражение световых лучей, отверстие в комнате как место прохождения света, светопроизводящая материя, техника представления изображения в кадре. Языковыми средствами являются отдельные лексемы с семантикой света, глаголы, словосочетания. Среди стилистических фигур были выделены: синестезия, контрастные выражения, метафоры и сравнения. Исследование показало кумулятивный характер описания света в коротких отрезках времени.

This paper attempts to analyze the verbal exponents of lighting in audio description - a service for the blind and visually impaired - for two films by Andrei Tarkovsky: Solaris and Stalker. An analysis was carried out of the designators fixed in the frame and receiving their verbalized equivalents in the audio description. These include the source of artificial illumination visible in the frame, the source of fire as heat-emitting and light-emitting energy, natural lighting as the effect of solar radiation, and radiance as the reflection of light rays. The linguistic exponents and stylistic figures used in intersemiotic translation were then analyzed. The linguistic means are single lexemes with the semantics of light, qualitative adjectives, verbs, and collocations. Among the stylistic figures, the following were distinguished: synesthesia, contrastive expressions, metaphors, and comparisons. The research showed the cumulative nature of the description of light in short segments.

The set of the Crown Registrum kept at the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw testifies to the registrum system operating in the Polish Crown of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Among 768 books forming the set, 31 volumes (17th – 18th c) have been identified as those featuring painterly or drawing decoration. Most commonly the decoration was placed on title pages of respective volumes, less frequently on pages opening entries for subsequent years. In single cases they are in the form of initials or ornaments within the text, or stemma compositions dedicated to respective sealers.             The analysis of the collected material has allowed to divide it into three categories. The criterion for classification was the identity of the decoration authors, their bonds with the Chancellery, and skill potential. The first group encompasses the majority of decoration created on the registrum pages. The decoration was authored by lower-ranking Chancellery staff who can be provisionally termed ‘artists-chancellists’. At the same time, it was on their initiative that the books were decorated, which may have been a method of pleasing their supervisors. The discussed works reveal little artistry and the use of simple drawing techniques. Among the identified artists there are both individuals recorded in studies on Old-Polish diplomacy: Michał Meger (d. after 4 September 1652), Maciej Ładowski (ca 1640 – ca 1715), as well as individuals previously unrecorded in literature: Jan Rawecki (active in 1642–1645) or Jakub Czechowicz (active in 1659–1669). In this context the analysis of the iconographic source can be seen as a complement to the research into royal Chancellery staffing. It also reveals interesting potential for identifying print models the ‘artists-chancellists’ made reference to. A substantial dependence of the decorated pages on book prints has been noted. The identification of definite  graphic patterns would provide insight into the interests and intellectual scope of the Chancellery staff.             It is frontispieces of two books of Chancellor Andrzej Lipski created in ca 1620 that are classified in the second category of decorations. Their author remains anonymous, however certain analogies with the illuminations by Marcin Proszowski (d. before 1642) suggest that the decoration author was a guild painter. Meanwhile, the initiative to have the decoration executed may be attributed to Royal Secretary Jan Szałapski, an official directly supervising the registrum. He is likely to have commissioned the book decoration in order to emphasize his own importance within the structures of the Chancellery.             The last category encompasses two title pages executed by professional calligraphers focusing on decorating documents and Chancellery books: Ludwik Dagobert (b. 1661, active in the 1680s and 90s) and Wojciech Domański (active in 1742–1769). Both were employees of a central office, yet it is difficult to unequivocally ascertain whether decorating books was their own initiative, or whether it was commissioned by the metricant responsible for the registrum. In the case of Domański it is likely that he served several chancelleries parallelly. It is also known that apart from royal diplomas, he also decorated bishops’ documents.         As for Dagobert, the technique he applied was intriguing, since he printed his decoration from  engraved and etched copper plates. It is, however, likely that he himself did not work out the matrixes he used. Regrettably, the etcher whose services he may have used has not been identified. Nonetheless, a certain affinity has been observed of Dagobert’s decoration to the oeuvre of Charles de la Haye (1641 – after 1707?) and Jerzy Eleuter Szymonowicz-Siemiginowski (ca 1660 – before 13 March 1711).             The analysis of the decoration of the Crown Metrics has proven useful in the study of illuminated documents of Polish kings. Furthermore, the observations made point to the urgent need to thoroughly research into decorated Chancellery books of the Old-Polish period.

Artykuł podejmuje temat dekorowanych ksiąg należących do zespołu Metryki Koronnej ze zbiorów Archiwum Głównego Akt Dawnych w Warszawie. Zdobienia zidentyfikowano na kartach 31 woluminów powstałych w XVII i XVIII w. Analiza zgromadzonego materiału wykazała pokrewieństwa łączące dekorowane księgi regestru z iluminacjami dokumentów wydawanych przez polskich monarchów. Oprócz analogii kompozycyjnych odnotować można także udział tych samych twórców. Na kartach woluminów udało się zidentyfikować dzieła artystów opisywanych we wcześniejszej literaturze (Ludwika Dagoberta, Wojciecha Domańskiego), a także dekoratorów dotychczas nienotowanych (Jana Raweckiego, Jakuba Czechowicza). Zaobserwowano również, że większość autorów zdobień rekrutowała się z personelu kancelarii królewskiej. Dekoracje ksiąg Metryki Koronnej mogą zatem stanowić cenne źródło informacji dla badań nad składem osobowym centralnych urzędów państwa.

Summary One of the most recognizable poets of Lubusz Land, Czesław Sobkowiak, is possessed of remarkable sensitivity when it comes to perceptions of nature. His search for the essence and truth of existence places his work in the area of phenomenological influences. Since the poet’s focus is firmly on natural environment, that variety of phenomenology could be called as ecophenomenology. That sensitivity can be described by means of the following defining terms: the essence of the quotidian can be reached via illumination; change of perspective is a technique for achieving epiphany; one is included in the mystery of existence by light; reality is perceived in motion; the perspective from which to write is geocentric; and, humanity and nature are in a chiasmatic relation to each other.

Augustyńskie wyjaśnienia natury duszy ludzkiej zmierzają do ukazania jej aktywności. Augustyn nie ma wątpliwości co do tego, by same te aktywności były utożsamione z duszą, gdyż ta identyczność pozwala na stwierdzenie zachodzenia faktycznych działań. Dusza działa doskonale, o ile działa w pełni, a więc na sposób, w jaki każde działanie ją stanowi. W obszarze działań intelektualnych dusza spełnia się w działaniu intelektualnym, w działaniu, które jest odzwierciedleniem natury Boga. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba ustalenia znaczeń różnych wyrażeń określających duszę (anima, animus, spiritus, intellectus, mens, ratio) w myśli filozoficznej świętego Augustyna. Pozwoli to na lepsze zrozumienie Augustyńskiej koncepcji poznania intelektualnego a szczególnie idei oświecenia, jakiego doznaje dusza w poznawaniu rzeczywistości.

Augustine’s explanations of the nature of the human soul are aimed at showing its activity. Augustine has no doubts that the activities themselves are identified with the soul, since this identity allows for the occurrence of actual activities to be ascertained. The soul works perfectly as long as it functions fully, and therefore in the way that every action constitutes it. In the area of intellectual activities, the soul is fulfilled in intellectual action, the action that reflects God’s nature. The aim of this article is to try to determine the meanings of the various terms that define the soul (anima, animus, spiritus, intellectus, mens, ratio) in the philosophical thought of Saint Augustine. This will make possible a better understanding of the Augustinian concept of intellectual cognition, especially the idea of illumination that the soul experiences in knowing reality.

As its subtitle suggests, the essay is a phenomenological account of the diverse ways in which light can be experienced by the senses. Gernot Böhme divides these experienc-es into two types depending on whether they concern the relation between light and space (the categories “light-cleared space,” “lightspace,” “lights in space”) or between light and objects (“things in light,” “light upon things”). Böhme sees the synthesis of both these types of experiences in the illumination phenomenon, in which spatial/light effects and the way in which objects are illuminated combine to create a specific atmos-phere during the sensual, bodily experiencing of space. Böhme also discusses the appli-cations of light effects in contemporary architecture and art.

In mysticism, I am mostly interested in emanations of some type of intensity of existence, which abstracts from the biological one. Revoking a treaty with time results in a puzzling personal experience, the story of which can be treated as an existential lesson. In mysticism, the truth becomes known through faith. It finds its source in love, which is the soul’s response for the salutary love of God directed at it. As a refusal of the demands of human nature, mysticism offers an entrance into the realm of the spirit and transcendence. The latter is approached by man through a sacrifice of love, which cleanses him of the ontological stain and guilt. The first stage of this peregrination is purification. It is an act of conscience stimulated by the vision of Christ’s passion, foreseeing death and inevitable Judgement. Purification is an encouragement for contrition and responsibility going beyond the temporal limits. In the second stage of the journey to God (illumination), a prayer for grace of life under the aegis of the cross substitutes the lament over oneself. It will be a life of humility, contemplation and doloristic imitation, crowned with love understood as following the intention of God.
