Vilniaus senosios regulos karmelitų vienuolyno prie Šv. Jurgio bažnyčios bibliotekos 1677 metų inventorius: šaltinio publikacija
Get PDFThis article presents the oldest source of information about the Vilnius Old Regula Carmelite Monastery library: the inventory list of the St. George’s Church library, compiled in 1677. Even though, in Polish historiography, considerable attention is accorded to the Vilnius St. George‘s Carmelite Monastery and its library, the 1677 inventory has not been included into any catalogue of inventories of the GDL’s church libraries. This inventory was for the first time introduced to the scientific community by A. Pacevičius. This article gives a short overview of the history of the Vilnius Carmelite Monastery at the St. George’s Church and of its library from its foundation to closure. The period of the compilation of the inventory is characterized as a crucial moment in the development of the library. At that time there were eight books in the church’s library, and 58 books, in the monastery’s library. Here we are publishing a facsimile of the inventory’s text and a transcript of the text in the language of the original. In the commentaries, with the greatest possible exactness, we are recreating the book list from rather scarce elements of book descriptions. This oldest source for the history of St. George Monastery library will doubtless be of interest not only for scholars in the history of the GDL, but also for both Lithuanian and foreign researchers of monastic book culture.Straipsnyje pristatomas seniausias informacijos apie Vilniaus senosios regulos karmelitų vienuolyno prie Šv.

Bibliotekininkystės mokslo paradigmos tinklaveikos visuomenėje
Get PDFEssential premises and problems of the Library and Information Science (LIS) paradigms’ shift (uncertainty of scientific boundaries and fragmentation; various historical, sociological and organizational conditions) are analyzed on the case of Vilnius University. Since 1949 Lithuanian university studies and research in the field of LIS had experienced few changes (periods of paradigm shift), that essentially had been preconditioned by general LIS and society’s development tendencies. The case of Vilnius University allows us detect humanitarian, sociological, informational and communicational paradigms. Their formation takes the background in the epistemological relations of LIS to the other sciences and in the necessity to solve practical problems of libraries as well as other information institutions. One of the major challenges that LIS has to face is the requirement to research complicated questions: information services to the society in general as well as individuals; information needs; work of information institutions. Multidimensional problems of LIS field require interdisciplinary view as well as methodological and theoretical transformations. Constant interaction of LIS with other science fosters interdisciplinary research fields and threatens the integrity of LIS on theoretical and methodological levels. Instability of LIS status displays itself not only in theoretical, but also in organizational aspects. Uncertain limits of LIS and tight relations with other sciences enforce dissociation or integration of academic units, while extensive amount of research tasks in LIS field is hardly being performed due to the lack of personnel.Straipsnyje analizuojamos esminės bibliotekininkystės ir informacijos mokslų (BIM) paradigmų kaitos prielaidos ir problemos – ribų neapibrėžtumas ir fragmentiškumas, aiškinant jų priežastis istoriniu, sociologiniu ir organizaciniu aspektu. Nagrinėjant Vilniaus universiteto atvejį išskirtos humanitarinė socialinė, informacinė ir komunikacinė paradigmos. Teigiama, kad įvairialypė, tarpdisciplininio požiūrio ir sprendimų reikalaujanti BIM srities problematika kviečia mokslą metodologinėms ir teorinėms transformacijoms. Nuolatinė BIM sąveika su kitais mokslais, taip formuojant tarpdisciplinines tyrimų sritis, kelia grėsmę BIM teoriniam ir metodologiniam vientisumui. BIM statuso nestabilumas pasireiškia ne tik teoriniu, bet ir organizaciniu aspektu. Ribų neapibrėžtumas ir glaudi sąveika su kitomis mokslų sritimis skatina BIM akademinius padalinius skaidytis arba jungtis, o plati BIM tyrimų problematika sunkiai sprendžiama dėl nepakankamo mokslinio personalo skaičiaus
Senieji rankraštiniai bibliotekų katalogai Lietuvos nacionalinėje M. Mažvydo bibliotekoje
Get PDFLibrary catalogue or inventory book is one of the most important sources for exploring its stock development, collection creation strategy, content of documents. Catalogue contains a lot of information about content of collections, quality and quantity aspects, and enables reconstruction of libraries which had been closed, dispersed or damaged by various disasters. Catalogues of old, especially non-operating libraries can also play role of reflections of scientific, cultural, social life of certain historical period, sometimes even of witnesses of the whole epoch. This historical source is very important for history of book and library. Their analysis can fill gaps in research of cultural communication of certain periods. Library catalogue is an information search system giving better orientation in the library to the reader, satisfaction of his informational needs and expectations. Exploring of library catalogue can be multiform depending on the subject and object of the exploration. Scientific researches of library catalogues are not popular; they are rather additional source of book history. The old catalogues give possibility to reconstruct traditions and culture of forming catalogues of that time, retrieve regulations and specifics of their forming. The article reveals content of catalogues of institutional, personal libraries of 19th-20th centuries preserved in the Rare Book and Manuscript Department of Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, their provenance attributes and physical features, making emphasis on Lithuanian books in these libraries. These are catalogues or lists of books owned of Samogitian Seminary, Ateitininkai Chapter established by Lithuanians who moved to Voronezh (Russia) during the 1st World War, The Januškevičiai (progenitors of the Dobužinskiai family), explorer of Lithuanian language Kazimieras Jaunius. These catalogues were selected from library catalogues of the National Library, because the institutions and persons mentioned were important for Lithuanian history and culture. Old library catalogues present evidence what important sources they can be for exploring of various historical stages of the country, historical and cultural heritage of various institutions, organizations or personalities, cultural and informational communication, distribution of a certain book, its popularity in libraries of various levels, culture and traditions of library catalogues forming during the certain time period.Bibliotekos katalogas ar inventorinė knyga – vienas svarbiausių šaltinių tiriant jos fondų raidą, kūrimo strategiją, dokumentų turinį. Katalogo duomenys teikia daug žinių apie rinkinių turinį, kokybinius ir kiekybinius aspektus, padeda rekonstruoti jau uždarytas, išsklaidytas ar įvairių nelaimių suniokotas bibliotekas. Senųjų, ypač jau neveikiančių, bibliotekų katalogai – tai ir vieno ar kito istorinio laikotarpio mokslinio, kultūrinio, socialinio gyvenimo atspindžiai, kartais net visų epochų liudininkai. Šis istorijos šaltinis yra labai svarbus knygos, bibliotekų istorijai, jo analizė gali padėti užpildyti spragas kai kurių laikotarpių kultūrinės komunikacijos tyrinėjimuose
Inwentarz kościoła Św. Piotra na Antokolu spisany przez Piotra Korkonosa z 1609 roku
Get PDFIn 1609 Peter Korkonos, the new rector (parish priest) of the St. Peter Church in Vilnius wrote an inventory of this church. It’s the oldest inventory of the church we know today. Two fragments of this document have been found in the collections of the Archive of Vilnius Archdiocese and The Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania. In this edition these two fragments of the historical source have been combined and commented. Particular attention has been paid to the problem of books, which were the property of the church at this time. The most relevant facts from the history of St. Peter Church are also mentioned in this work. The first wooden church founded about 1492–1507 burned down. The management of the parish and the years of restoration were documented by Peter Korkonos. After the death of the parson St. Peter Church was handed over to the Canons Regular of the Lateran. The presented sources have not been widely used in academic theses concerning the church. They complete former knowledge related with formation of the local library.Przedmiotem wydania jest najstarszy znany obecnie inwentarz wileńskiego kościoła pod wezwaniem św. Piotra. Zachował się w dwóch częściach, dwie karty przechowywane są w Archiwum Wileńskiej Kurii Arcybiskupiej, a księga, do której kiedyś został wpisany, w zbiorach Litewskiej Biblioteki Narodowej. Inwentarz sporządził w 1609 r. Piotr Korkonos, powołany na nowego proboszcza parafii antokolskiej. Tekst powstał w specyficznych okolicznościach, po pożarze świątyni, kiedy to Korkonos odzyskał uratowane przez parafian elementy wyposażenia kościoła i podjął trudne wyzwanie budowy nowej świątyni, które zresztą zrealizował w latach 1609–1616
Katalog biblioteki księcia Aleksandra Ludwika Radziwiłła w Nieświeżu (1651)
Get PDFThe studies on book culture and the functioning of various libraries have been present in academic circle for many decades. For obvious reasons the interest in books among the illustrious members of Radziwiłł magnate family as well as their scope of activity as the patrons of culture have been analyzed by historians. In the context, the history of the famous Radziwiłł library in Nesvizh can be considered as a separate research topic. This magnificent collection was confiscated after the first partition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1772) by order of Empress Catherine the Great. Some 15.000 volumes were transported to Saint Petersburg and offered to the Russian Academy of Sciences and Fine Arts (later Russian Academy of Sciences).Nicolas Radziwiłł the Black (1515–1565) is considered to be the founder of the Nesvizh library; however, its full development can be dated back to the time of Nicholas Christopher Radziwiłł “the Orphan” (1549–1616), who rebuilt the ducal palace and organized a library in one of the specially adopted rooms. The Nesvizh collection has been enriched by numerous donations, including that of cardinal and bishop of Vilnius George Radziwiłł (1556–1600), Sigismund Charles Radziwiłł (1591–1642), and many other members ofthe family.The presented catalogue was compiled under the request of Duke Alexander Louis Radziwiłł. This magnate, born in 1594 as a son of Nicolas Christopher Radziwiłł and Elisabeth Eufemia née Wiśniowiecka, received a most privileged education. In 1610 he began his studies in Germany then traveled throughout Germany, France and Italy. He returned to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by the end of 1620, but in 1624 he left for Italy again, this time in the company of Prince Vladislas Vasa. In summer 1625 he again returned to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but soon was totally immersed in political life. Thanks to family connections he advanced his career very fast, becoming in the court marshal of Lithuania in 1635, and grand marshal of Lithuania only two years later. In December 1652 he went to Italy again and died in Bologna March 30, 1654. The manuscript catalogue of the library of Alexander Louis Radziwiłł is currently preserved in the Kórnicka Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Ms BK 1320). It contains of two parts. The first of them (f. 1–25r), compiled according to subjects, was written down in April 1651, then second one (f. 26r–46v), compiled alphabetically – in May and June this year. The catalogues are not identical. The first part, divided into classes, is more comprehensive than the second one (alphabetical). The catalogue was composed by John Hanowicz, mayor of Nesvezh. The manuscript has been marked with the ex-libris of the Radziwiłł library (Ex Bibliotheca Radivilliana Ducali Nesvisiensi) and pressmark (Loc. X, No 17). Hanowicz did not state usually the information about the place and year of publication, which makes the precise identification of the books very difficult. Therefore, one can only predict the exact number of the books (and volumes) preserved in the Nesvezh library at that time. It also happened that Hanowicz stated a title of this same book in both versions: once in the original Latin version and then in (abbreviated) Polish form. Among items included the catalogue one can also find manuscripts, maps, drawings and landed estate documents. Most the books were bound with white or red leather, less frequently with green, cherish, orange or red colored leather, and seldom with morocco leather or paper. The bibliographical descriptions provided in the footnotes should be considered only as suggestions, for only direct analysis of a given book (in visu) allows one to identify and link a book with the Radziwiłł Library. Some of the most precious books were kept in the castle treasury. The Nesvizh collections included also musical pieces, e.g. the libretto (?) of the first opera – Il ratto di Helena – performed on September 4th, 1636, in the theater of the lower ducal castle in Vilnius. The music of the famous opera was composed by an anonymous author, but the libretto was produced by Virgilio Puccitelli.The significance of the magnate families (e.g. that of the Radziwiłłs or the Sapiehas) as promoters and patrons of fine arts and literature was enormous and hard to over-estimate in the history of Grand Duchy of Lithuania. A further and detailed study on the content of the Nesvizh library of Duke Alexander Louis Radziwiłł in 1651 gives one the opportunity to present in full and broad contexts a truly European library collection of Baroque culture in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.Katalog biblioteki księcia Aleksandra Ludwika Radziwiłła w Nieświeżu, ułożony w 1651 r., nie był dotychczas przedmiotem szerszych analiz, choć studia nad bibliotekami magnackiego rodu Radziwiłłów mają już swoją historię. Rękopiśmienny katalog, przechowywany obecnie w Bibliotece Kórnickiej PAN (sygn. BK 1320), został ułożony przez Jana Hanowicza, burgrabiego nieświeskiego. Spisał go w dwóch częściach (tematycznej i alfabetycznej) między kwietniem a czerwcem 1651 r. Wśród spisanych drukowanych książek znalazły się także rękopisy, mapy, rysunki i papiery majątkowe. Większość książek nieświeskich była wówczas oprawiona w białą lub czerwoną skórę, niekiedy w zieloną, wiśniową, czarną czy pomarańczową, a rzadziej w safian czy papier. Oprócz dzieł polskich i łacińskich znalazły się tam także książki po niemiecku, włosku, francusku i okazjonalnie w innych językach. Katalog biblioteki księcia Aleksandra Ludwika stanowi wartościowe źródło do poznania fragmentu dziejów przebogatej kolekcji bibliotecznej Radziwiłłów w Nieświeżu
