„Słowa uszczypliwe”, „słowa nieuczciwe”. Język sporów sądowych i ruska polemika
No full textBiting words’, ‘dishonestwords’. The language of litigation and the ruthenian polemic This is a Polish translation of an article by David Frick entitled: “Słowa uszczypliwe, słowa nieuczciwe: Th e Language of Litigation and the Ruthenian Polemic” published in: ΧΡΥΣΑΙ ΠΥΛΑΙ — ЗЛАТАЯ ВРАТА. Essays presented to Ihor Ševčenko on his eightieth birthday by his colleagues and students [P. Schreiner, O. Strakhov (ed.), Cambridge, Mass. 2002, „Palaeoslavica” vol. 10, no. 1, pp. 122–138]. The author – an eminent expert in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth culture and literature – analyses the protestations of the citizens of seventeenth-century Vilnius and explores thoroughly the language of litigation of the time. Frick focuses also on the writings of Meletij Smotryc’kyj – the most outstanding seventeenth-century Orthodox polemicist. The autor’s analyses lead to the conclusion that special formulas and rhetorical strategies typical of the language of litigation were familiar to the Orthodox polemicist (after the Union of Brest of 1596) as well as widely used in their writings

Wilnianie. Żywoty siedemnastowieczne. Opracowal, wyd. i oprac. David Frick : recenzija
No full textRecenzuojama Kalifornijos Berkeley universiteto profesoriaus Dawido Fricko studija apie XVII amžiaus vilniečius, išleista Varšuvoje 2008 m. Knygos autorius yra gerai žinomas bendros Lenkijos ir Lietuvos valstybės XVI – XVII a. istorijos, literatūros ir kultūros tyrinėtojas. Recenzijoje nuosekliai aptariami šio naujausio jo tyrimo šaltiniai, daugiakalbė istoriografija (taip pat ir lietuvių), knygoje publikuoti XVII a. Vilniaus istorijos šaltiniai, iliustracijos. Pagrindinis studijos autoriaus tikslas buvo ištirti santykius tarp įvairių tikėjimų ir kultūrų vilniečių XVII a. Daugiausiai dėmesio recenzijoje skiriama 1636 m. šaltinio – Vilniaus namų ir jų savininkų surašymo – analizei. Atskleidžiama skirtinga istorikų D. Fricko ir Mindaugo Paknio (paskelbusio minėtą dokumentą) šio šaltinio duomenų interpretacija (žr.: M. Paknys, Vilniaus miestas ir miestiečiai 1636 т.: namai, gyventojai, svečiai, Vilnius, 2006). Recenzijoje akcentuojamas ypač svarbus knygos autoriaus pastebėjimas, jog minėtame sąraše faktiškai neminima namų savininkų ir gyventojų tikyba: tai, „kad tikyba visiškai nedomino namų skirstytojo, kai ką mums sako apie viešojo diskurso pobūdį XVII amžiaus Vilniuje“. Recenzijos autorius labai teigiamai vertina D. Fricko studiją, nurodo jo paskelbtų šaltinių svarbą ir siūlo išversti knygą į lietuvių kalbą. Reikšminiai žodžiai: 1636 m. Vilniaus namų ir jų savininkų surašymas; David Frick; Miestiečiai; Mindaugas Paknys; Mokslinė studija; Vilniaus daugiatautiškumas ir daugiareligiškumas; Vilniaus miesto istorija; Vilnius; XVII a.

The book author is a well-known researcher of the 16th–17th c. history, literature and culture of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The review consistently discusses the sources of his latest research as well as multilingual historiography (including Lithuanian), the historical sources and illustrations of the 17th c. Vilnius published in the book. The main aim of the author of the study was to investigate the relations between Vilnius dwellers of different confessions and cultures in the 17th c. The review mainly focuses on the analysis of the 1636 source – the census of Vilnius houses and their owners. The book reveals different interpretations of the data of this source by historians Dawid Frick and Mindaugas Paknys (who published the mentioned document) (see Paknys “Vilniaus miestas ir miestiečiai 1636 m.: namai, gyventojai, svečiai” [Vilnius City and Dwellers in 1636: Buildings, Inhabitants, Guests], Vilnius, 2006). The review highlights a particularly important observation of the book author that the inventory factually does not mention the confession of house owners and city dwellers: the fact “that confession was totally irrelevant to the distributor of houses says something about the nature of public discourse in Vilnius in the 17th c.”. The reviewer very positively evaluates Frick’s study, mentions the importance of his published sources and offers to translate the book into Lithuanian
