W Archiwum Państwowym w Gdańsku zachowały się tysiące analogicznie spisanych inwentarzy mienia wraz z dokumentami towarzyszącymi dla okresu od drugiej połowy XVI wieku aż do początków XIX wieku. Pozwala to zarówno na badania nad kulturą materialną, jak i wnikliwą analizę praktycznego rozwoju tych instrumentów prawnych. Uwierzytelnione inwentarze mienia służyły zabezpieczeniu mienia zmarłego oraz wyliczeniu jego wartości netto. Zabezpieczały roszczenia wierzycieli, umożliwiając przeprowadzenie zgodnych z prawem działów spadkowych tudzież wyliczenie należnych podatków. \u0000Pod względem formalnym inwentarze po zmarłych gdańszczanach nie odbiegają od dokumentów znanych z innych nowożytnych miast Rzeczypospolitej, jak i Rzeszy Niemieckiej, Niderlandów, Szwecji, Francji czy Anglii. Na podstawie źródeł gdańskich oraz publikowanych materiałów porównawczych dla różnych regionów nowożytnej Polski oraz Europy autor niniejszego artykułu stawia tezę, że powszechna umiejętność sporządzania pośmiertnych inwentarzy mienia oraz ich charakterystyczne cechy formalne (układ rzeczowy, wyliczenie wartości i stworzeniem bilansu) są efektem powszechnej recepcji doskonalonych od XIV wieku przez kupców włoskich technik prowadzenia rachunkowości handlowej. Usystematyzowania wiedzy wraz z praktycznymi wskazówkami na temat prowadzenia rachunków, sporządzania inwentarza oraz tworzenia okresowego bilansu dokonał Fra Luca Pacioli de Burgo (1445–1514?), franciszkanin i profesor matematyki, w opublikowanej w 1494 roku pracy Summa de Arithmetica, Geometrica, Proportioni et Proportionalita. Drugie wydanie dzieła znane jest przede wszystkim za sprawą sławnych ilustracji wykonanych przez zaprzyjaźnionego Leonarda da Vinci. Co istotniejsze, Luca Pacioli nie tylko popularyzował istotę używania cyfr arabskich, lecz także omówił zasady sporządzania inwentarza oraz prowadzenia podstawowych ksiąg rachunkowych. Przedstawił rachunek strat i zysków, bilans wszystkich kont, czyli zaczątek przyszłego bilansu majątkowego. Dzięki rozwojowi drukarstwa zamysł Paciolego szybko upowszechnił się w XVI wieku. W całej Europie łacińskiej nauczyciele rachunkowości oraz notariusze adaptowali pomysły Paciolego do miejscowych warunków prawnych i społecznych. Wpłynęło to również na powszechną standaryzację tworzeniu inwentarzy mienia w drugiej połowie XVI wieku i w XVII wieku. Nie inaczej było w Gdańsku, gdzie pierwszą i jedną z najlepszych ówczesnych prac opisujących techniki prowadzenia rachunkowości gospodarczej był podręcznik Sebastiana Gamersfeldera Buchhalten durch zwei Bücher nach italianicher Art und Weise (1570). Niniejszy artykuł powstał w związku z przygotowaniem do druku osobnego studium poświęconego gdańskim nowożytnym inwentarzom pośmiertnym.","PeriodicalId":408035,"journal":{"name":"Porta Aurea","volume":"14 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114928228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Badanie wykazało, że rycina Londerseela zawiera zarówno w sferze wizualnej, jak i w łacińskiej inskrypcji niezauważone dotychczas przesłanie skierowane przeciwko papieżowi i Kościołowi katolickiemu. Ten rodzaj konfesyjnej polemiki koresponduje z sytuacją w Holandii na początku XVII w., kiedy Londerseel wykonał rycinę, ale nie ma nic wspólnego z obrazem Aertsa. Na podstawie szczegółów odbitki można udowodnić, że gotycka architektura kościoła przedstawiona na rycinie jest odwróconym odwzorowaniem modelu namalowanego przez Aertsa. Gabinet obrazów Johanna Michaela Brettschneidera zachowany w Miejskim Muzeum Zamkowym w Rheydt, namalowany sto lat później, przedstawia fragment wnętrza kościoła Aertsa tak, jak prawdopodobnie wyglądało ono pierwotnie: wnętrza kościoła, o którego uroku decyduje wyłącznie architektura fantastyczna.","PeriodicalId":408035,"journal":{"name":"Porta Aurea","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125190765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are very few lectures, publications, or studies on the topic; however, the state of research is not surprising because of the somewhat ambiguous nature of Gdańsk. The city is seen as a university centre, industrial centre, but not strictly as a place where the recreational function dominates. The article focuses on architectural conceptions of leisure and recreational areas during the seventies; it is fascinating how the architects of the time tried to create everyday recreational areas in this historic city, where two kinds of structures coexisted, combining solemn buildings from the past with everyday forms for the present man. The author’s main aim was to expose and describe in detail three of the most curious, but unrealized projects: ‘the seaside Park of Culture and Leisure in the Gdańsk agglomeration’, ‘the recreational centre over the flow of the Motlava River’ and ‘the bathing beach at the outlet of Karol Marks Street’.","PeriodicalId":408035,"journal":{"name":"Porta Aurea","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134182229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, a pillar by the Priests’ Chapel was decorated with a standard bearing striped concentration camp uniform cloth with numbers of priests -prisoners in Nazi camps. This referred directly to the décor of the Priests’ Chapel created not long before, and in which Polish priests murdered during WW II had been commemorated in 1965. Thus the millennial decoration of the chancel clearly associated the history of the Polish state with the history of Christianity in Poland, while the decoration of the Priests’ Chapel emphasized the martyrology of Polish priests. Both motifs were clearly continued in two large –size stained glass windows installed in the church in the late 1970s: one of them fills in the window in the Priests’ Chapel, while the other is to be found in the window closing the church’s chancel. Both were designed by Wiktor Ostrzołek, a leading stained glass designer in post -WW II Poland. \u0000The iconographic programme of the first refers to the martyrology of priests, yet it does not limit itself to priests -martyrs in recent history, but shows those connected with it from the very beginning: St Adalbert, Five Martyr Brothers, St Stanislaus, St John Sarkander, St Andrew Bobola and Maximilian Kolbe. Respective figures are interconnected with the use of a clear red line serving as a metaphor of the martyrs’ blood. Its continuity connecting St Adalbert with St Maximilian, thus the beginnings of the Polish state with the present, at the same time shows the continuity of the presence of the Catholic Church in Polish history. \u0000This continuity is even more unequivocally expressed by the iconographic programme of the chancel stained glass. Here it is the figure of Mary that stands out; she enshrouds the presentations referring to the Church’s mission, and in particular to the Church’s mission in Poland, in her protective mantle. A deep interconnection between the history of Poland and the Roman Catholic Church was presented in the three acts of entrusting Poland to God and Mary: the Baptism of Poland in 966, the Lvov Oath of John Casimir in 1656, and the Jasna Góra Pledge connected directly with the 1966 millennial celebrations.","PeriodicalId":408035,"journal":{"name":"Porta Aurea","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115084348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As per directions of the Church authorities, the images of Jesus Christ, Our Lady and the Saints of the Undivided Church could remain in Orthodox churches, while those of Catholic and Greek -Catholic Saints were to be given back to Catholics. The images that were left in Orthodox churches were to be changed to meet the Orthodox rules. That usually meant addition of an inscription or repainting of the image partially or fully. \u0000The situation was different in relation to miraculous images. After being transferred to the Orthodox churches they remained unchanged, even in the cases when their iconography was unacceptable for the Orthodox Church or when they represented Catholic Saints, such as Ignatius Loyola or Anthony of Padua. This was related to the effect miraculous images had on local communities. The cult of miraculous images was above -confessional; believers of different Christian confessions went on pilgrimages to them. Leaving these images as is they were aimed at converting Catholics to Orthodoxy to strengthen the position of the Russian Empire on the land of the former Polish - -Lithuanian Commonwealth. To justify the functioning of western -Christian images in the Orthodox Church, both new legends were developed stating the images had Orthodox origins and were taken by Catholics, and attempts of theological rationale were made.

In the Gründerzeit, it could not reach as quick a pace of development as other cities of the Reich, and by the late 19th century it did not boast any university. The attempt to catch up on the substantial delay in creating modern public architecture in Gdansk was only made after the fortifications had been dismantled (1895–97). A triangular plot close to St James’s Gate was reserved for the purpose of education and science. It was there that a seat of the city archive and the building of the Secondary School of SS Peter and Paul (Oberrealschule St. Petri und Pauli) were raised. The third edifice was planned as the new home for the Gdansk Library. The precious book collection, whose core was formed by the collection bequeathed by Joannes Bernardinus Bonifacius d’Oria of Naples in 1596, was kept in a former Franciscan monastery, and later in St James’s Church. Attempts to raise a new building to house the collection in the 1820s as designed by Carl Samuel Held failed. Neither was the plan to erect the new library building as an extension of the Dungeon and Prison Gate Complex implemented. It was only Karl Kleefeld’s design from 1901–1902 planning to raise an impressive Gothic Revival complex that finally came to life. Completed in January 1905, the Library welcomed the first readers already on 16 February. \u0000Kleefeld designed the building’s mass on the L -plan layout with a truncated corner and wings. The main reading room boasted elegant, sumptuous, and coherent wooden furnishing, and the gallery’s centrepiece was a ledge decorated with 14 panels featuring bas -relief cartouches with the emblems of the cities of West Prussia. Differing in size, the edifices, were given red -brick elevations with plastered details and glazed green filling, with a sgraffito frieze on the reading room elevation between the ground and first floors. It was the Gdansk Renaissance that dominated in public buildings’ architecture of the city in the last quarter of the 19th century. The resumed popularity of Gothic Revival in its local forms in Gdansk public buildings’ architecture, such as those in the afore - -described Kleefeld’s designs, resulted undoubtedly from a rapid growth of research into historic structures, yet on the other hand it reflected the return to the local tradition (Heimatschutz), which could be observed in the architecture of the German Reich at the time. \u0000Judged in the context of an extremely modest programme of public projects in Gdansk of the period, the creation of the Bildungsdreick with the edifices of the archive, library, and secondary school is to be regarded as a major event in the history of creating public architecture of the city. \u0000As seen against other projects of the time in other Reich cities, the Gdansk City Library stood out neither with its scale, nor innovatory character of the layout sol","PeriodicalId":408035,"journal":{"name":"Porta Aurea","volume":" 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120829329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gagarin’s artistic interests and his influence on creating one of the national style variants in the 19th -century Russian Empire: the Russian -Byzantine style. This article is not only a selection of theoretician’s quotes, but also an attempt to create an appropriate background and clear context for his theses. Moreover, the paper is to constitute a coherent outline of his thoughts having an impact on the creating of the national style and the search for architectural inspiration from selected periods of history. \u0000An interesting fact is that because of Gagarin’s first attempts to develop consistent norms and determinants of inspiration, among others, for architects and artists, he created foundations to formulate in the future a clear theoretical assumption of the Russian -Byzantine style. What is more, the theoretician did not avoid the confrontation of Russian art with Western European culture. Gagarin tried to not only indicate the relationships between the evolution of specific styles in art and architecture, but also their mutual influences and consequences. \u0000In the paper’s narration another important thread in the theoretician’s activity is also mentioned: his attitude to the cultural heritage of the North and South Caucasus. In the 19th century, the region’s territories formed the southwestern borders of the Russian Empire, and moreover they were the destinations of Gagarin’s diplomatic activities for the Romanov dynasty and the Russian Empire. \u0000The paper is an introduction to further research not only into Gagarin’s position in the process of creating the national style in the Russian Empire in the19th century. Furthermore, the research will bring up his functioning in the Western European artistic-cultural society of that time and his attempts to find mutual inspiration in Western and Eastern Europe.","PeriodicalId":408035,"journal":{"name":"Porta Aurea","volume":"09 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127412560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
