Anna’s merit is the significant financial support in publishing Zielnik … (1613) by Simon Syreński (1540–1611). This publication – herbarium vivum – one of the most extensive books published in Poland until the end of the 18th century, is also the largest herbarium in Central and Eastern Europe from the old days. The princess’s natural science interests were expressed, among others, by the patronage of Paul Guldenius (? 1588–? 1658), the future creator of the Polish pharmaceutical nomenclature (1641). Anna’s political significance during the period of Catholic confessionalization in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is evidenced by the dedication of the postyll (1620–1621) by Samuel Dambrowski (1577–1625), the most popular collection of Polish Lutheran sermons until the mid-twentieth century. Her role as the Protestant protector was also appreciated on the European forum by Daniel Cramer (1568–1637), who dedicated his edition of Luther’s Bible to her.","PeriodicalId":41301,"journal":{"name":"Scando-Slavica","volume":"68 1","pages":"272 - 285"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49163990","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}

The underwhelming conclusion to Chapter 6 illustrates this problem: the texts written in Russian in the 1740s “provide glimpses into parts of the linguistic reality” but “come nowhere near to showing us the true picture of the Russian linguistic situation” in that decade (p. 111).

Articles collected in this issue are the result of the project “Jagiellonian Heritage as a platform for dialogue between Poland and Finland”, financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA), carried out between October and December 2020 under the leadership of Ewa Cybulska-Bohuszewicz (Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw) in cooperation with University of Jyväskylä in Finland represented by Susanna Niiranen. The aims of the project were twofold: presenting and promoting the legacy of the Jagiellonians in the Nordic countries and creating a network of researchers from various academic centres in Poland, Sweden, Finland and Lithuania who undertook the task of mapping ongoing research, identifying different historical sources found in national archives and libraries and defining common features in the history and culture of these countries. Although the fates of Poland and Lithuania, which for centuries functioned as one powerful state organism, namely the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, are well known, as are the intricate and often tense Polish-Swedish relations, which ended with the so-called Swedish Deluge (i.e., the Swedish invasion of the Commonwealth in 1655–1660), we know less about the role that Finland played in its common history. Notably, Finland was the first country of residence of Catherine Jagiellon, the youngest daughter of the Polish King Sigismund the Old (1467–1548) and the Italian princess Bona Sforza (1494–1557), after she married Duke John III Vasa (Swedish: Johan III; 1537–1592), the son of the founder of the Vasa dynasty, Gustav (1496– 1560), and his second wife Margareta Eriksdotter Leijonhufvud (1516– 1551).

The Swedish and Norwegian Associations of Slavists and the Society of Finnish Slavists strongly condemn Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion of its peaceful neighbour Ukraine. The Nordic Slavists express full support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people in their struggle against the invaders for democracy and human dignity, and also express their solidarity with those courageous Russians who stand up in protest against the war. Many Nordic Slavists work on a daily basis disseminating knowledge of the Russian and Ukrainian languages, literatures and cultures. This work has now become more complicated, but also more necessary than ever. Scando-Slavica will do its utmost to continue to publish on topics within Slavic and Baltic linguistics, literature, culture, history and society, promoting the spread of research, irrespective of the country of origin of our colleagues. The topics addressed by the contributors to the present issue of ScandoSlavica include language and literature in several Slavic countries: In her article, Katarzyna Glinianowicz discusses the discourse of sexuality in the prose of the Ukrainian writer Ivan Franko (1856–1916), but also attempts to examine more broadly the genealogy of the representation of sexuality and gender in contemporary Ukrainian culture. The articles by Alexander Lifshits, Pavel Uspenskij & Tatiana Krasilnikova, and Tintti Klapuri & Jenniliisa Salminen offer analyses of different aspects of both classical and modern literature written in Russian: the creation of the psychological authenticity of the protagonist in Nikolaj Gogol′’s comedy Revizor, Ivan Chlestakov, the role of idioms in Boris Pasternak’s collection of poems Vtoroe roždenie (‘The Second Birth’, 1932), and the connection between collective memory and fictional spatiality in recent works by Ljudmila Ulickaja, Elena Čižova, and Guzel′ Jachina. Evgeny Steiner offers an analysis of Russian attitudes to Japan, based on the memoirs of the Russian priest, Esperantist and utopist Innokentyj Seryšev (1883–1976), who lived in Japan at the beginning of the 1920’s. In their article, Anna Litvina & Fjodor Uspenskij discuss the medieval Russian anthroponymic system through a detailed analysis of the personal names of the sixteenth-century Muscovite official Andrej Ščelkalov.
