The 17th century chronicle written by Father Stefan Ranatowicz has not yet been fully edited or published in print. It remains in the collections of the Library of the Jagiellonian University, and it is the subject of research. This article introduces the reader to the cult of saints and their biographies which are listed in the chronicle. The article merely overviews the discussed topic, and it could lay the groundwork for a more exhaustive study. Stefan Ranatowicz (1617-1694) was born and raised in Kazimierz which, at that time, was a separate town in the immediate vicinity of Kraków. After completing his education in the parish school at the Corpus Christi Church, he enlisted in the Academy of Kraków, where he studied in the Artium department in 1635-1636. In 1636, Ranatowicz joined the Order of the Canons Regular of the Lateran. He perfor- med different functions in the congregation, and he also researched and wrote down the history of the Order. Ranatowicz left behind a collection of sermons, entries in birth registries and brotherhood records. His most important work is the chronicle by Latin title of Casimiriae civitatis, urbi Cracoviensi confrontatae, origo (...). In most part, the chronicle is the history of the congregation of the Canons Regular of the Lateran, and it lists the accomplishments of subsequent provosts up to the chronic- ler's time. It also contains information of a general nature relating to historical, political and cultural events, extracts from the works of other historians or reports on «unusual» phenomena. The chronicle features biographies, with special emphasis "on persons who lived exceptionally holy lives. The lives of the saints presented in the chronicle were incorporated into the biographies of subsequent provosts. Stefan Ranatowicz devoted more attention only to the Blessed Stanislaus Kazimierczyk (Stanislaw Sołtys or Sołtyszewicz) whose biography appeared in three versions: in a short account in the biography of provost Andrzej, in a reference to the author's previous publication entitled Jasna Pochodnia Życia Apostolskiego. Żywot Świątobliwy B[łogo- sławionego] Stanisława Kazimierczyka (...) (The Bright Torch of Apostolic Life. The Holy Life of Blessed Stanislaus Kazimierczyk), and in the biography of Blessed Stanislaus written by Marcin Baroniusz. All biographies of saints and blesseds share a similar method of presentation. The characters are largely idealized, and their positive qualities are emphasized. The author devotes particular attention to supernatural phenomena and miracles that occurred after the saints' deaths. The lives of the saints were written with clearly didactic goal. In the chronicle, Ranatowicz drew upon the research of many different histo- rians, and his work, although not entirely free from errors, is a valuable source of knowledge about history and culture of the period.
The study is grounded in the findings of Ernst Schwarz‘s and Zdeněk Masařík‘s research on the penetration of Bavarian and Central German dialectal elements into the German language in municipal administrative offices in central and southern Moravia. The study builds on the research carried out so far of selected municipal archival documents and those produced by Olomouc burghers written in German and it aims to show which of these elements were dominant in certain stages, including the relevant reasons. The sources of knowledge of dialectal elements were the Codex of Václav of Jihlava from 1430 to 1492, court records from the 17th century that were used to study the replies made at the Olomouc residents‘ court interrogations and the chronicle of the Hobel family, a middle class family. The latter was used to determine dialectal elements in the written German of Olomouc burghers — regardless of whether they were originally from Olomouc or moved there. The last part of the study analyzes a collection of German confectionary recipes that apparently represented common recipes among the burghers. The presence of Bavarian and Austrian elements prevailed later; these features were absolutely dominant in the archival documents from the 19th century.
Zakon jezuitów (właściwie Towarzystwo Jezusowe, po łacinie Societas Iesu) został założony przez Hiszpana Ignacego Loyolę (1491–1556) w 1539 r., zatwierdzony przez papieża Pawła III w 1540 r. Do Polski jezuici zostali sprowadzeni w roku 1564 przez kardynała Hozjusza (1504–1579). Pierwsza siedziba zakonu jezuitów w Polsce lokowana była w Lidzbarku Warmińskim w 1564 r., a rok później w Braniewie. Do Wałcza jezuici zostali sprowadzeni z Poznania przez Jana Gostomskiego, starostę wałeckiego w 1618 r. w celu podjęcia działań kontrreformacyjnych. Od początku pobytu w Wałczu jezuici prowadzili kronikę, w której zapisywali ważniejsze wydarzenia z życia rezydencji, miasta Wałcza i okolicznych parafii. Kronika była prowadzona przez jezuitów do czasu rozwiązania zakonu w 1773 r.

The Order of the Jesuits (actually ‘The Society of Jesus’, Latin Societas Iesu) was founded by the Spaniard Ignatius Loyola (1491–1556) in 1539. Approved by Pope Paul III in 1540, Cardinal Hosius (1504–1579) brought the Jesuits to Poland in 1564. The first seat of the Jesuit Order in Poland was located in Lidzbark Warminski (Lidzbark Warmiński) in 1564, and a year later in Braniewo. The Jesuits were brought from Poznań to Wałcz by Jan Gostomski, the starost of Walcz (Wałcz) in 1618, in order to undertake Counter-Reformation activities. From the very beginning of their stay in Walcz (Wałcz), the Jesuits kept a chronicle in which they recorded more important events in the life of the residence, the city of Walcz (Wałcz) and the surrounding parishes. The chronicle was kept by the Jesuits until the dissolution of the Order in 1773
