Trembecki was not only a participant, but an animator of specific literary, social and sociable game, the essence of which consisted of mystification. The game uses the figure of mediocre poet, Józef Bielawski, posting under his name works with most varied content. The paper presents a poetic dimension to this fun, which the results were included in the Trembecki ’s text editions under the name Bielawski.
The article presents doubts relating to the authorship of the text known under the title of Wiersz na pochwałę J.W. Kossowskiej podskarbiny nadwornej koronnej z okoliczności jej tańca na warszawskiej reducie, which has been historically attributed by editors to Stanisław Trembecki. The article introduces a hypothesis suggesting that the poem in question could have perhaps been penned by Józef Szymanowski. This could be evidenced by aspects of stylistics, as well as by the similarity in poetic themes, present both in the poem addressed to the Treasurer’s wife, and in a different piece (most likely written by Szymanowski), Do Kory przysięgającej na zakonność. The article is discussive in character and constitutes an encouragement to further examinations of attribution.
The manuscript, retrieved from the archives of the Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, presents an occasional letter by a famous Lithuanian archivist and collector, Wacław Gizbert Studnicki, offered to the founder and benefactor of the Vilnius library, Tadeusz Wróblewski, for his name day. The main body of the letter is constituted by an occasional poem, re-written by Studnicki, dated 1770 and signed by Ingacy Szadurski, which is a praise of library collections.
The article discusses the problem of visual perception in the framework of poetic view of the world. The issue of perception and cognition of reality has been outlined in the perspective of selected philosophical analysis of the Enlightenment (Diderot, Condillac). Literary material, illustrating these considerations, is represented by fragments from Stanisław Trembecki’s work.
