Among valuable documents from the Rozmberk and Svamberk archives, which are deposited in the Historica collection of the regional archive in Trebon, several hundred manuscript newspapers and news items from the 16th century have been preserved. This extensive collection contains a unique report on the Turkish policy towards the Polish-Lithuanian state. It was written by an unknown Polish reporter on his return journey from Constantinople in 1576. He wanted to warn his patron, probably a senator, against the schemes of the Ottoman government about which he had heard from spies on the Sultan's court. He accompanied his information by numerous commentaries. Thus his report provides a peek into the 16th century Polish noblemen's lives and portraits the image of the Turks in their minds. Conversely, citations by the Viziers, their reporters and advisors provide information about the way the Rzeczpospolita was regarded by foreigners. The newspaper opens with plots concerning the Black Sea region, where the Turks aspired to prevent further Cossacks' interventions. However, the Grand Vizier's hunger to pillage or conquer the Polish-Lithuanian state seemed to be much more important. The reporter dealt with this topic in the second, more extensive part of his report. With great apprehension he informed on a counsel between the Grand Vizier and an unknown Frenchman, who willingly offered his intelligence on the Polish-Lithuanian state and instigated the Turks to attack it.

The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of domestic and foreign investments in the Polish market and analysis of their level in the context of the development of the Polish economy. Article verifies the hypothesis that the domestic investments and inflow of foreign direct investments have a positive impact on the development of the Polish economy. It seems that regardless of the views and studies, there are more benefi ts from the infl ow of foreign investments into Poland by their positive impact on the competitiveness of the Polish economy. However, any of their restrictions refl ect negatively on the economic growth of the country. Both domestic investments and foreign direct investments are the measure of the competitiveness of the economy. Apart from any threat, foreign capital is an opportunity for the development of the Polish economy. Poland trying to decrease disparities in relation to the developed countries should strive for improve the investment climate in order to not only attracts foreign capital, but also to create optimal conditions for the development of domestic investments and thereby stimulate economic growth.

A hoard of 15th-16th century coins was found in Dobrzyn on the Vistula (Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship) on September 8, 1964 during road works. A pot (lost since then) contained 214 coins. They were given to the Leon Wyczolkowski Museum in Bydgoszcz to be registered in the inventory book No MOB/Mo 505-718. This is the first find from that time (tpq 1551) discovered in the Dobrzyn Land. The hoard consists of shillings, half-groschen and Groschen struck chiefly by Polish rulers in the Cracow mint, or by their consent in mints in Torun, Gdansk and Elblag. They make up 85.5 per cent of the complex. Foreign coins: Teutonic Order (9 pieces) and Ducal Prussia (18 pieces), were allowed to circulate over the area of Poland after the monetary union of 1527 when the Cracow mark was acknowledged as the basic unit of Prussian coinage. Conversed to Groschen (approx. 103), the hoard's material value is not high, however, the diversity of nominals occurring in it testifies Dobrzyn's relationships with the cities that took part in waterway trading along the Vistula River.

There is an observation of a deepening segmentation of the high-circulation polish magazine market. The key players, that is companies with German capital: H. Bauer, Axel Springer Poland and Burda Media Poland inextricably associated with offers addressed to female consumers, systematically invested in periodicals patronized by men. The article attempts to both define the men's press and indicate features that are common for this diversified segment of the media. The author elaborates the key titles, outlining their contents, the issues addressed and the turnover from sales. The survey conducted clearly revealed that the leaders in the computer and motoring press in the years 1995-2010 were, in turns, periodicals of the two companies with German capital, namely H. Bauer and Axel Springer.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE OFFICIAL DISCOURSE: TOWARDS A REVISION OF THE HISTORY AND THEORY OF THE POLISH IDIOM OF CUBISM

This paper presents the lesser-known aspects of Cubism in Poland in the field of both aesthetic practice and theory, staying in the shadow of the mainstream documented in a tendentious way in the canonical art history. This way it contributes to the revision of the narrow view of the artistic processes and to the remapping of the traces of cultural exchange and transformation of aesthetic and ideological patterns in a horizontal perspective between the “European margins”. As an echo of these simplifications, the national and as a consequence also the international historiography of art mostly omits the Cubist tendencies, not only in the oeuvre of Polish artistic formations apart from Cracow, but also in the aesthetic practice of the representatives of groups, which later became well known as constructivist ones, such as Katarzyna Kobro, Władysław Strzemiński or Henryk Berlewi. On the other hand, it has been often forgotten, that in the local context, due to the relatively late adaptation of Cubism into artistic praxis, it is nearly not documented in the pure form. Instead of that, one can speak about the primarily non-antagonist coexistence of the two hybrids of the “new art” – the Cubo-Expressionist and the Futuro-Dadaist one.

The contribution deals with the conception of language history as a discipline of the diachronic linguistics and also with the contents of the synthetical works on language history, the latter of which are the major task of language history. In the light of more recent works on the development of the Czech language the author gives a short description of the Polish discussion about the contents of the language history and the synthetical language history works during the last 40 years. Some fundamental postulates formulated in this debate might be useful also for the next synthetical work on Czech language history.

Zbigniew, Wladyslaw I Herman's (approx. 1080-1102) elder son, is one of the few ruling Piast princes whose coins have not been identified as yet. In the years 1097-1106 the prince had authority in Great Poland, in the land of Sieradz and Leczyca, not later than from 1102 - also in Mazovia. Thus a question arises: didn't he ever start any coinage? As it is, he never produced any money with his name or image on it, yet, he seemed to have struck anepigraphic denarii with the image of a cross, called cross denarii. Two hoards from south-eastern Great Poland: from Kalisz and nearby Sluszkow, remarkably diversified in volume provide arguments for the foregoing assumption. They have been dated to the first years of the 12th century, i.e. Zbigniew's reign in Great Poland. The first of the hoards (recently discovered in the Old Town in Kalisz) comprises merely of 4 cross denarii of the youngest types, among them two specimens of the CNP 867-868 Type. Save for the hoard in question, coins of that kind are known only from the large cross denarii complex of Sluszkow, dated by a denarius of Hungarian Koloman (1095-1114) to approx. 1105. Among the preserved 13 061 coins, 12 829 are cross denarii - 1470 of them are specimens of the CNP 867-868 Type. The latter having been included in Zbigniew's coinage on the basis of the very late chronology thereof, corresponding to the prince's rule in Great Poland. Coins of another variant, older by a few years, similar to the CNP 813, may be also associated with the prince. Beyond south-eastern Great Poland (Sluszkow and Kalisz?), finds of the CNP 813 Type occurred in Sieradz and Leczyca land (CNP 813/858 denarius) and in Silesia (Krosno Odrzanskie? CNP 813/858). The large bulk of the preserved denarii appeared in the Sluszkow hoard -1916 complete specimens, the other deposits comprised just single specimens. Finds of the CNP 813 coins occurred in the territory ruled by Zbigniew at the turn of the 11th century; they might have made up his first issue of metal money. Obviously there is no unquestionable proof of the existence of Zbigniew's coinage, however he might have produced coins in the territory of his state in the last years of the 11th and at the beginning of the 12th centuries?

The author in her article deals with the problem of modern dilemmas and ethica problems appearing in Polish medicine, showing its speciﬁcity against the background of other European countries. Among them, the biggest controversies are aroused by issues like: conscience clause, euthanasia, abortion, “testament of life” and in vitro proceedings. The author presents the most important attitudes, their sources and determinants (cultural, social, legal, ﬁnancial, ideological, and religious). She also points out that essential inﬂuence on creating bioethical solutions belongs to doctors themselves as they have a signiﬁcant autonomy in the area of moral choices. The author also emphasizes that many solutions to problems in the scope of bioethics, formalized in legal records and ethical codes, and which are obligatory in Poland, do not constitute optimal solutions for the whole or at least majority of the society. Hence, there are still numerous oﬀers to regulate it alternatively. What is important, many of them constitute an attempt referring to modern current European legislation and even a direct attempt at transferring it to the underground. In the face of growing social and economic development of Poland and closer cooperation with European countries, their sanctioning seems to be only a matter of time today, and at same time a serious challenge requiring settling a kind of consensus between requirements of Polish society and the European Union.

This article introduces the Polish art historian, Zofia Ameisenowa (1897-1967). Her excellent working methodology became the model study of illuminated manuscripts for many contemporary art historians. The priority of Ameisenowa’s research was to create a library understood not as a catalogue, not as an actual institution, but as an environment proper to the circulation of images and ideas. Her publications can be viewed as part of the method for realizing this global project. The mainstream work of the Polish scholar had a ‘positivist’ dimension, and her research system grew from traditional connoisseurship supported by the then most up-to-date knowledge in the field of book studies. Ameisenowa was inspired by scholars such as Giovanni Morelli and Richard Öffner, exponents of the first Vienna School of Art History, and Polish bibliologists like Kazimierz Piekarski and Aleksander Birkenmajer. The nature of Ameisenowa’s research suggests that she not so much practised the history of ideas, but the social history of art directed at the question of the function of the work of art and the historical usus of dissemination, copying, and image reconstruction in culture. Because of these interests, she had more in common with the matter-of-fact iconography practised by Emile Mâle than with the spectacular iconology of Erwin Panofsky, and any elements of iconological interpretation, if they occur, were for her an intellectual adventure, the prize for the free use of carefully extracted facts. It is worth noting that a separate area of interest for the scholar was Jewish art.

Today the traditional beliefs, customs and rites relating to the harvest time are very limited as their contemporary functions and dimension have changed. The authoress is interested in the transformation process of a harvest festival that is typical of the old rural communities. The harvest festival still crowns the labours of farming and is a form of solemn thanksgiving for harvested crops but today's celebration is not accompanied with any magical practices that would bring a good harvest next year. Ritual songs are becoming obsolete and the harvesting women, if any, no longer need any orations addressed to a landlord. The customs of baking bread and making crown-shaped wreaths have survived. The contemporary farmers associate the entire celebration with the church ceremony. Harvest festivals are organized at the local, regional and country level (the presidential Spała Harvest Festival) as well as at the religious one (diocesan harvest festivals). It is a carefully prepared show, a national holiday that attracts not only the inhabitants of the village and the people professionally involved in agriculture, but also residents of the city. Nowadays, this unique show has a number of functions. These functions are mostly highlighted in the contemporary media.

In an introduction to a discussion about Joseph Conrad and colonialism, the authoress proposed a synthetic description of Polish encounters with Africa: from Beniowski. Szolc-Rogozinski, Sienkiewicz, Conrad, Czekanowski and Malinowski to Kapuscinski. She also recalled Poles taking photographs of Africa: starting with Jan Czekanowski, Kazimierz Zagórski and Witold Grzesiewicz, to Ryszard Kapuscinski and Chris Ledóchowski. 'The history of Poland compels her to oscillate between methods deployed by the colonialists and those of the colonised. This past is the reason why Polish encounters with exotic cultures were rarely devoid of intermediaries. The third link, a combination of a matchmaker and a duenna, were usually West European institutions. Conrad and Malinowski arrived from the peripheries and, as writers, were condemned to cosmopolitan European identity and a Polish cultural distance; they examined the world from positions which enabled them to apply encounters with the Other for creating new paradigms of ethnographic subjectivity and self-creation'.

The objective of this paper is to analyse the transformations in the field of museums in Poland, and to study more closely the process of constructing a museum model that meets contemporary challenges. Two types of museums are analysed here, namely national museums and museums of modern art, to demonstrate how their respective activities affect the structure of the field in question, bringing about change. It is the assumption of this study, following Pierre Bourdieu’s framework of conflict perspective, that museums situated in the field of orthodoxy and the ones in the field of heterodoxy compete within the artistic field for a symbolic domination over other participants. At the core interest of this study, there is a question to what extent chosen Polish museums and staff applies the principles of the New Museology in their daily practice.

The paper presents a comparative study of the political and social situation in Central Europe in 1989, which exerted great influence upon Poland and Czechoslovakia, two neighbours and leaders in that part of Europe. The article describes the positions of their political elites as being very different from each other in the first half of 1989. In Poland, the party and government leadership was inclined to intensify the started reforms, while Czechoslovakia was mostly affected by a conservative public opinion. It was the social crisis triggered by the Velvet Revolution of November 1989 that changed the state of affairs and forced Czechoslovakia to join the bloc of states that entered upon the transformation process of their existing systems. The article also broaches the subject of anticommunist oppositional circles whose contacts and planes of discussion expanded as the year 1989 progressed. The final part of the article is devoted to the oppositionist Václav Havel’s accession to presidency in Czechoslovakia as well as to the drastic changes introduced into the constitution of the People‘s Republic of Poland, which helped to put the end to this political formation.
