This study draws its attention to new facts coming out of the scribal colophons of a manuscript miscellany held by the St. James Parsonage Library in Brno and it completes curriculum vitae of Martin of Tišnov who used to be known as a scribe of manuscripts and the author of two Latin panegyrics. He is documented as a parson in Sebranice in the Blansko region at least in the years 1475–1483. He was in connection with the important family of noblemen of Boskovice for a long time. For the time being, however, we are not sure if he can be identified with the printer Martin of Tišnov who edited a Czech Bible in Kutná Hora in 1489 and who also edited the two earliest Prague prints in 1478.

The paper focuses on a pragmatic study of panegyric as one of the essential genres of Orthodox sermon. It is aimed to study linguistic means representing panegyric strategies and tactics in Russian and Ukrainian. The results of the research of 100 panegyrics belonging to Metropolitan of Svyatogorsk Arseny exemplify linguistic peculiarities, bilingualism being his style determining element. Lots of axiological elements are indicative for his speech; however pseudo dialogue and means of creating comic effect which are inherent for Orthodox sermon are absent. Prevailing topics are war, life in Donbas region, Svyatogorsk Monastery’s spiritual activity. The metropolitan of Svyatogorsk Arseny’s panegyric avoids appellatives, imperatives, tactics of aggression and fascination; his global strategy is educational as he exemplifies and calls to holiness. The outcome of our investigation proves that the homilist Metropolitan of Svyatogorsk Arseny belongs to adherents of antirhetorical approach to converting, whose speech is devoid of high style, abstractness and rhetoric, and who considers the spiritual image of the shepherd the main guarantee of successful preaching.

The article deals with the historical aspect of appearing, establishing and developing of sport feasts (agons) and traditions of ancient Greece, which took place during the Olympic four-year period in every state-city of colonial and metropolitan Greece. Thus the sport feasts for ancient Ellins ment the main form of society’s life and culture. Sport festivals for ancient Ellins were the integral part of panegyric shows devoted to one or another Gods – the Patrons of Greek cities. Each Greek state-city in those times obligatory provided mysteries for two representatives of Olympic Pantheon. The sport events were of initial character where young boys and girls showed their physical and mental abilities and would become the proper members of the ancient Greek society. Starting from the VIII century B. C. the institutions called ancient Greek agonistics identified into the main element of ancient Greek life because the Agons began working as the means of Greek citizens’ consolidation. With a help of Ellin sailors of Mileth Greece expended the border of its native land and owned the new settlements on the North part of Black Sea coast. The Greek brought to the new lands their culture and traditions. That’s why the ancient Greek Agonistics reached the state-cities of Pont Evksinskiy. Athletic activities in the life of the Greeks takes the most important place, thanks to agonistic Greeks also identified themselves as a mighty, cultural and military ethnos of ancient times in the Mediterranean region. Ancient Greek agonistics had an impact on sports festivals of cities-policies the Northern Black Sea. The main sports that were included in the programme of activities in metropolises such as athletics, wrestling, pankration, chariot races, and the like, have found their place in the tournament regulations of colonial cities in Ancient Greece. The prospect of further research should be the introduction of the information received about Agonistics of Ancient Greece and its influence on sports festivals of the cities of the Northern Black Sea to the lecture course of the discipline “Olympic sport”.

Baroque verse dedications, the earliest examples of which are Herasym Smotrytskyi’s poems in honor of Prince Constantine in the Ostrih Bible, remained popular during the 17th and 18th centuries. This is evidenced, in particular, by Havryil Dorofiievych’s, Pamvo Berynda’s, Lazar Baranovych’s, Ioan Armashenko’s, Ioan Maksymovych’s texts etc. These poems were placed at the beginning of books to glorify patrons or rulers who donated money to have the books published. In addition, panegyric dedications often had a political background and reflected the ideological vector of the Ukrainian art. Today in the Ukrainian literary criticism Baroque verse dedications largely remain outside the context of panegyric poetry. However, the use of the majestic topic and glorifying formulas makes it possible to classify these dedications as a kind of Ukrainian baroque panegyric poetry.
PL
Barokowe wierszowane dedykacje, których najwcześniejszymi przykładami są wiersze Herasyma Smotryckiego wysławiające księcia Konstantego z Biblii Ostrogskiej, były popularne w ХVІІ i ХVІІІ wieku. Świadczą o tym m.in. utwory Hawryiła Dorofijewicza, Pamwy Beryndy, Łazarza Baranowicza, Jana Armaszenki, Jana Maksymowicza i innych twórców barokowych. Wspomniane wiersze, które umieszczane były na początku ksiąg, nie tylko pełniły funkcję swoistego wprowadzenia, lecz także wysławiały darczyńców oraz magnaterię. Właśnie tym patronom utwory były poświęcone, a sponsorowane przez nich księgi darowane. Istotny jest fakt, że dedykacje panegiryczne często miały podłoże polityczne i odzwierciedlały tendencje ideologiczne sztuki ukraińskiej. Obecnie barokowe wierszowane dedykacje pozostają w literaturoznawstwie ukraińskim poza kontekstem poezji panegirycznej. Jednocześnie wykorzystanie podniosłej topiki oraz sformułowań wysławiających pozwala określić wierszowane dedykacje jako odmianę ukraińskiej poezji panegirycznej okresu baroku.

Artykuł stanowi przegląd treści pieśni safickiej Rudolfa Agrykoli Młodszego adresowanej do biskupa poznańskiego Jana Lubrańskiego, którą włączył do swej dysertacji kosmologicznej „Introductio in Ptolemaei Cosmographiam cum longitudinibus et latitudinibus regionum et civitatum celebriorum” (Kraków 1512, 1517) Jan ze Stobnicy (1470–1530). Jako poemat panegiryczny wiersz Rudolfa stanowi opowieść o działalności i osiągnięciach biskupa. Wsławił się on zarówno licznymi inwestycjami budowlanymi, zakładaniem miast, patronatem roztaczanym nad artystami, jak i przymiotami swojej osobowości. W artykule podjęto próbę charakterystyki pochwały hierarchy, która całkowicie odpowiadała oczekiwaniom ówczesnych czytelników.

The article offers an overview of the poetical material circulating in a Latin poem by Rudolph of Wasserburg which was inserted into an astronomical and geographical treatise “Introductio in Ptolemaei Cosmographiam cum longitudinibus et latitudinibus regionum et civitatum celebriorum” (Cracoviae 1512, 1517) of Jan of Stobnica (1470–1530). As a Sapphic verse, Rudolph’s poem offers tales of the achievements of Jan Lubrański, the Bishop of Poznań, which were praised and admired in order to meet the tastes and cultural expectations of contemporary readers, thus becoming a testimony to the bishop’s outstanding personality. Among others, the article examines his actions and deeds eulogised in the poem, such as building churches and patronage of the arts.

The Ode written by Franciszek Dionizy Kniaźnin is the last one in the series of six odes entitled For the occasion of consecration of priest Adam Stanisław Naruszewicz, the Archbishop coadjutor of Smoleńsk (Z okoliczności tejże [konsekracji Ks(iędza) A(dama) S(tanisława) Naruszewicza B(iskupa) K(oadiutora) S(moleńskiego)]. The odes were published in 1775 in the magazine ‘Pleasant and useful games’ („Zabawy Przyjemne i Pożyteczne”). They are a poetic account of a celebration held on 25th or 28th May 1775 in St. John’s collegiate church in Warsaw and at the same time panegyric praising merita of the poet Bishop. The work is very interesting especially as a documentary as it lists names of guests that gathered for the celebrations, one of which was the king Stanisław August Poniatowski. It also shows relationships among the elite of the capital city at the time. It is worth noting that the way of illustrating is typical for Kniaźnin in a sense and introduces mythological elements in the description of religious celebration.

The paper is concerned with the transformation of laudatory motives in the epithalamia, from the earliest extant Greek texts, through the nuptial poetic pieces by Catullus, Statius and Claudianus, down to the wedding poetry from the 16th century. Both, the ancient Greek poets, and Catullus as well, used to introduce the motive of praise with a dose of restraint. In other words, the early Greek and Roman poets were focused on the newly married couple. On the contrary, since the Roman Imperial period, it was intended to make the poetic praise more universal and so the poets used to extend the passages with laudatory motives. Therefore, other topics were added, such as the origin of the spouse and the bridegroom. Henry Moller as a poet was quite excessive in the matter of praise. Frankly speaking, his poetry praises everyone and everything: for instance, family members, both those who died not long ago, and those who are alive (epithalamium for Casper Nefelius and Sophia, Nicolaus Richavius’s daughter); the duchy of Baden and the city of Gdańsk (Gratulatio Musarum Gedanensium for Swedish princess Cecilia Vasa and prince Christopher II of Baden); even Jagiellonian king Sigismund II Augustus once became the object of praise, because he was a brother of the female addressee of the poem entitled Auleum Gratiarum (besides, Moller interlaced some political suggestions to the Jagiellonian ruler with the verses). It seems typical to Neo-Latin poets to insert the words of praise in the mouth of fictional characters. However, it is evident that the poetic self-esteem was not an unimportant factor. Over time, the authors of Neo-Latin poetry got used to speaking directly to the reader. Some of them were evident and eager flatterers. In general, we can observe that the epithalamic laudatory motives are in constant transformation. Every epoch, or even culture, has its own inventory of laudatory topics and objects.

"Moeris. Eclogue in other words pastoral pride: education and rest of youth extols in front of His Royal Highness Stanisław August, the King of Poland, The Grand Duke of Lithuania, and in rural rhymes a Polyarchy", this is one of three idylls by Marcin Eysymont which were offered to Stanisław August. They were published in “Zabawy Przyjemne i Pożyteczne” ["Pleasant and Useful Games"] between 1774-1776. The work is a praise of king’s activities, who was stressing the need of youth’s education and upbringing in the spirit of good citizenship. At that time it was a very important but also a very difficult issue on account of the political situation after the first partition of the country. It is the context that is very important to interpret "Moeris" – the prototype, Virgil’s ninth eclogue from where the name of the main protagonist was taken and the theme – sorrow after the loss of land, depicted with the use of pastoral topoi.

The paper is devoted to occasional laudatory verses which were written to honour princess Elżbieta Sapieżyna (née Branicka) and the members of her closest family – son Kazimierz Nestor Sapieha, General of the Lithuanian Artillery and brother Franciszek Ksawery Branicki, Great Crown Hetman. The begining of the article reminds of already known literary works containing complimentary images of the female aristocrat. The main object of author’s interest are pieces that have not been noticed by scholars of the eighteenth-century political writings. These are: anonymous ode written in 1784 in connection with arrival of Sapieżyna to Prienai (pol. Preny) in Lithuania and collection of four verses created by Wojciech Zacharkiewicz, who thereby added splendour to the Franciszek Ksawery Branicki’s coming to Warsaw for parliamentary sitting of the Great Sejm and to election of Kazimierz Nestor Sapieha for the Marshal of lithuanian confederation. The author discussed circumstances of the creation, main motifs of content and artistic composition of laudatory images of addressees. Furthermore he determined connections of these verses with then popular genres of occasional poetry and put Sapieżyna’s complimentary portraits in context of manners of creation women’s images in literary works of that time.

The article presents the conceit in the Polish baroque sermon Pszczółka w bursztynie [A Bee in Amber] of a Bernardine Franciszek Sitański. In the sermon the author presents the figure of St. Dorothy; he also draws attention to the virtues of Dorota Kątska, who was the abbess of St. Norbert’s Order in Zwierzyniec (near Cracow) in the 17th century, and most of all he praises the monastic way of life. Biblical and hagiographic arguments, a source of inspiration for the author as an effective means of persuasion, appeal to the imagination of the audience. Metaphors, analogies and comparisons in the sermon prove that Pszczółka w bursztynie is based upon the conceit. By using the arguments Sitański was trying not only to move the recipients, but mainly to persuade them to cultivate virtues presented by Christian heroines.

The article deals with the funeral of Anna Vasa, the sister of the Polish ruler Sigismund III Vasa. Young Anna Vasa decided to change her religion which influenced her further life. In consequence, her remains could not receive a solemn funeral for the next 11 years following her death. This text aims at analysing the work by German author Martin Opitz, which was ordered in commemoration by the Swedish princess’ nephew, Wladyslaw IV. Martin Opitz’s work, which undoubtedly brought him fame, is being analysed based on the rhetoric devices used by the author as well as the parenetic model of a woman that he created, based on the examples of the virtues of the deceased princess.

Cyprian Bazylik was a Renaissance poet, printer in Brest Litovsk, translator, and composer strongly associated with the house of Radziwiłł. He wrote in Polish language. The article discusses two poems from the year 1566, dedicated by Bazylik to the late Mikołaj ‘the Black’ Radziwiłł (January 1566) and the living Mikołaj ‘the Red’ Radziwiłł (June 1566). Both poems are one of the oldest examples of panegyric poetry in Polish language in the Great Duchy of Lithuania and they were not analized before from religious point of viev. They are contained within the editorial framework of two publications, edited by Tomasz Falconius, a Lithuanian adherent of antitrinitarianism, which are editions of parts of the Brest Bible and which were published by Bazylik in the Brest printing house. In both texts, the panegyric content is surprisingly perfunctory, while Bazylik (known as a reformed Evangelical) appears in them as an unambiguous adherent of antitrinitarianism. The poems are an interesting testimony to the situation of the Polish Brethren in Lithuania after the death (in 1565) of the patron of this religious belief, Mikołaj ‘the Black’ Radziwiłł. Unusual tone of the poem dedicated to Radziwiłł the Red – Bazylik asks for help and in the same time submits religious threats – shows the bad situation of Lithuanian antitrinitarians which happened in the period of half a year. But it also shows the high self-dignity of the poet.

Cyprian Bazylik to renesansowy poeta, drukarz w Brześciu Litewskim, tłumacz i muzyk silnie związany z domem Radziwiłłowskim. Tworzył w języku polskim. Artykuł poświęcony jest dwu wierszom z roku 1566, dedykowanych przez Bazylika zmarłemu Mikołajowi Radziwiłłowi Czarnemu i żyjącemu Mikołajowi Radziwiłłowi Rudemu. Są jednymi z najstarszych polskojęzycznych wierszy panegirycznych na Litwie i nie były dotąd analizowane z religijnego punktu widzenia. Oba utwory znajdują się w ramie wydawniczej dwu druków, opracowanych przez Tomasza Falconiusa, litewskiego antytrynitarza, będących edycjami części Biblii brzeskiej i wydanych w oficynie brzeskiej przez Bazylika. Treści panegiryczne są w obu tekstach poetyckich zaskakująco zdawkowe, natomiast ujawnia się w nich Bazylik (znany jako ewangelik reformowany) jako niedwuznaczny zwolennik antytrynitaryzmu. Utwory te są ciekawym świadectwem sytuacji, w jakiej znaleźli się bracia polscy na Litwie po śmierci (1565) protektora tego wyznania Radziwiłła Czarnego. Niezwykły ton wiersza skierowanego do Mikołaja Rudego – zarazem prośby i religijne groźby – świadczy zarówno o złej sytuacji antytrynitarzy litewskich (musiała się ona pogorszyć w ciągu pół roku) jak i o wysokim poczuciu godności własnej poety.

Цыпрыян Базылік – польскамоўны рэнесансавы паэт, берасцейскі друкар, перакладчык і музыкант, цесна звязаны з родам Радзівілаў. У артыкуле разглядаюцца два вершы Базыліка з 1566 года, прысвечаныя Радзівілу Рудаму і памерламу Радзівілу Чорнаму. Гэта адны з першых польскамоўных панегірычных вершаў у Вялікім Княстве Літоўскім, але яны ніколі не аналізаваліся з рэлігійнай перспектывы. Абодва творы ўвайшлі ў прадмоўна-пасляслоўны комплекс двух друкаў, падрыхтаваных літоўскім антытрынітарыям Томашам Фальконіўсам, якія зʼяўляюцца перавыданнямі асобных частак Брэсцкай Бібліі і апублікаваныя Базылікам у брэсцкай друкарні. Панегірычны змест абодвух паэтычных тэкстаў надзвычай лаканічны, затое Базылік (вядомы як кальвініст) раскрываецца ў іх як перакананы прыхільнік антытрынітарызму. Гэтыя творы зʼяўляюцца цікавым сведчаннем сітуацыі, у якой апынуліся „польскія браты” на Літве пасля смерці ў 1565 г. пратэктара гэтага веравызнання Радзівіла Чорнага. Нязвыклая інтанацыя верша, скіраванага да Мікалая Рудага – адначасова просьба і пагроза – сведчыць як пра цяжкую сітуацыю антытрынітарыяў у Літве (мусіла пагоршыцца за поўгода), так і пра абвостранае пачуццё ўласнай годнасці паэта.

Panegiryki dedykowane biskupom unickim są ciekawymi przykładami dzieł polsko-ukraińskiego pogranicza kulturowego w XVIII w. Z jednej strony biskupi są prezentowani w nich jako należący do polskiego sarmackiego świata, z drugiej – jako pasterze unickiej cerkwi. Autorzy tych panegiryków byli dobrze wykształceni. Teksty pochwalne na cześć biskupa lwowskiego oraz metropolity unickiego Atanazego Szeptyckiego (1715-1746) stworzyli np. znani autorzy kazań, teolodzy, w tym Józef Narolski. Panegiryki poświęcone A. Szeptyckiemu napisano zgodnie z regułami retoryki, przy użyciu toposów: nieśmiertelnej sławy, pasterza, rodziny, cnót, skromności autora. Typowy sposób opowiadania o znanej osobie (historia rodziny, narodzenie, nauczanie, śmierć) w połączeniu z teologią moralną Cerkwi unickiej pozwalał zarysować oryginalny obraz unickiego biskupa z XVIII w.

Panegyrics dedicated to the 18th century Uniate bishops and metropolitans represent specific Polish-Ukrainian cultural borderland of that time. From the one hand, bishops represent famous Polish (Sarmatian) families, from the other: as shepherds of the Uniate church. Authors of these literary works were well-educated people. Panegyrics in honour of Atanazy Szeptycki (1715-1746), the Lviv Uniate bishop, were written by well-known theologians and a sermon author Józef Narolski. These panegyrics were written according to common rhetorical rules (common themes or toposes, like an immortal fame, a good shepherd, a nobile family, virtues, humility). Typical way of narration about a famous person (history of a family, birth, teaching, death) under an influence of Uniate moral theology led to creation of an unique picture of the Uniate bishop of the 18th century.

Ziel: Der vorliegende Beitrag zielt auf die Analyse der auf dem polnischen Gebiet ersten Renaissancebiografie – Vita et mores Gregorii Sanocei von Callimachus. Forschungsmethode: Man unternahm die Kompositionsanalyse und wies auf die Anekdoten im Werk hin, die als eines der wichtigsten Elemente einer antiken Biografie gelten und an die Callimachus direkt anknüpfte. Ergebnisse/Schlussfolgerungen: Eine so angestellte Analyse schildert nicht nur die Rezeption der antiken Vorbilder in der Renaissancezeit, sondern auch die Nutzung der Form einer Anekdote, die sich seit dem Altertum kaum verändert hat. Das Werk Callimachus’ hat eine zweiteilige Struktur – der erste Teil erinnert an die tradierte chronologische Biografie Plutarchs, der zweite an die thematische Biografie Svetonius’. Die Anekdoten im Werk erfüllen die gleichen Funktionen wie in den antiken Werken. Erfolgreich realisieren sie ihre Aufgaben unter neuen Umständen und mit einem neuen Helden, d.i. einem polnischen Magnaten im 15. Jahrhundert.

Cel: Celem artykułu jest przyjrzenie się pierwszej napisanej na ziemiach polskich biografii renesansowej – Żywotowi Kallimacha z Sanoka autorstwa Filippa Kallimacha. Metoda badawcza: Przeprowadzono analizę kompozycyjną i wskazano występujące w dziele anegdoty. Anegdoty są jednym z kluczowych elementów biografii antycznej, do której wzorów Kallimach bezpośrednio nawiązywał. Wyniki/Wnioski: Tak dokonana analiza nie tylko pokazuje renesansową recepcję antycznych wzorców, ale też samego wykorzystania anegdoty, które nie zmieniło się od czasów antycznych. Dzieło Kallimacha ma strukturę dwuczęściową – część pierwsza nawiązuje do tradycji biografii Plutarchowej, chronologicznej; druga natomiast do biografii Swetoniuszowej, tematycznej. Anegdoty występujące w dziele pełnią wszystkie funkcje, które pełniły w dziełach antycznych – z powodzeniem realizują swoje zadania w nowych okolicznościach i z nowym bohaterem – piętnastowiecznym polskim magnatem.

Aim: The aim of the article is to look at the first Renaissance biography written in Poland – Life of Gregory of Sanok by Callimachus. Research method: A compositional analysis was carried out and anecdotes appearing in the work were pointed out. Anecdotes are one of the key elements of ancient biography, which Callimachus directly referred to. Results/Conclusions: The analysis carried out in this way not only shows the Renaissance reception of ancient patterns, but also the use of anecdotes, which has not changed since ancient times. Callimachus’ work has a two-part structure - the first part refers to the tradition of Plutarch's biography, which is chronological; the other, however, follows the thematic pattern of Suetonius' biography. Anecdotes appearing in the work perform all the functions they performed in ancient works - they successfully carry out their tasks in new circumstances and with a new hero - a fifteenth-century Polish magnate.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza poetyki panegiryków Martina Opitza na cześć dwu polskich osobistości: malarza Bartłomieja Strobla i króla Władysława IV. Ukazując relacje malarza i poety, autor skupia się na relacjach nie tyle podmiotowych, ile estetycznych. Opitz, poruszając się w obrębie kanonu panegiryku uczonego i adresowanego do ludzi uczonych, stara się odmalować słowem zasługi Strobla i chwali go jako vir doctus, teoretyka sztuki. Chodzi zatem o realizację horacjańskiego wyobrażenia ut pictura poesis. Poetyka panegiryku ukazana jest w kontekście wydania „ostatniej ręki” (kompleks gatunkowy sylw) oraz przy uwzględnieniu związanych ze Stroblem epigramatów Opitza, a przede wszystkim w kontekście ustaleń gatunkowych z „Das Buch von der deutschen Poeterei” (Księga o niemieckiej sztuce poetyckiej, 1624). Całkiem inny charakter ma panegiryk na cześć polskiego króla, adresowany – także z politycznej inicjatywy Gerharda von Dönhoffa – do niemieckich innowierców zamieszkujących Polskę. Autor wskazuje na jego pośredniczący charakter i stawia tezę, że utwór mógł być skierowany do elit szwedzkich, co uzasadniałoby nie tylko dynastyczne, ale także etyczne prawa Władysława IV do tronu szwedzkiego.

Analysis of Martin Opitz’s poetics of panegyric pieces in honour of two Polish personages—a painter Bartłomiej Strobel and King Ladislaus IV of Poland—is made subject of the paper. Displaying the relationship between the poet and the king, the author focuses more on the aesthetic connections than on the subjective ones. Opitz, exploiting the canon of erudite panegyric, addressed to learned receivers, attempts to portray Strobel’s achievements, and the painter is praised as vir doctus, namely art theoretician. Thus, what he means is implementation of Horatian image ut pictura poesis. Poetics of the panegyric is presented in the context of “last hand” version (silvae genetics complexity) and with respect to Opitz’s epigrams connected with Strobel, but first and foremost in the context of genetic observations from “Das Buch von der deutschen Poeterei” (“Book of German Poetics,” 1642). The panegyric to honour the Polish King appears totally contradictory in its nature and addresses, besides following Gerhard von Dönhoff’s political initiative, to German infidels inhabiting Poland. The author points at the poem’s mediative character and formulates a thesis that the piece could have been directed to Swedish élites, justifying King Ladislaus IV’s not only dynastic, but also ethical rights to the Swedish throne.
