Barokowy twórca średniowiecznej przeszłości miast Germanii Słowiańskiej (nieco o społecznych funkcjach historii regionalnej i potrzebie jej modyfikacji)

Abstract

Historical writing often borders on non-fiction and novelistic fiction. The sparse source base is sometimes supplemented by the imagination of the historian him/herself. The critical scholar confines him/herself to demonstrating that an impressive mixture of legendary themes, folk tales and popular beliefs make up a „mythologised or falsified picture of the past”. The goal is simply to decide who is writing, for whom and for what purpose?
