Projektowanie metadanych w korpusie tekstów polskich do 1500 roku – wielopoziomowa struktura informacji
Full text linkThe subject of research are selected metadata that should characterize the texts collected in the corpus of the oldest attestations of the Polish language. The author of the article compares and analyses the factors affecting the development of the basic data structure used in synchronic and diachronic corpora (author, title, date of the text, text channel, text classification, source of citation). Without those factors taken into account the disambiguation of the object in the database becomes impossible, and the use of grammatical information is unreliable and impractical. The result of the presented analysis is a proposal to extend the level of description for individual markers

Rysunki w średniowiecznych rękopisach – rekonesans
Full text linkThe aim of the article is to draw the readers’ attention to the decorative and illustrative elements present in almost all medieval manuscripts. Based on the example of three groups of codices: Opera medica, Opera varia, Sermones, the author analyses the drawings collected for a few dozens of manuscripts found in the Jagiellonian Library. Since contemporary subject literature does not include an appropriate scientific research that would characterise and classify such elements of medieval codices, the author describes them in the pragmatic context, especially in relation to the ways of organising the text and commenting on its content. The decorative and illustrative layer is yet to be comprehensively analysed, but the reconnaissance shows how vast in terms of quantity and how rich in forms it is.The aim of the article is to draw the readers’ attention to the decorative and illustrative elements present in almost all medieval manuscripts.

Glosses as the basis of Polish historical-linguistic research
No full textPolskie glosy zapisane w XV-wiecznych rękopisach są jednym z elementów podstawy badań historycznojęzykowych. Należą do najliczniejszej grupy zachowanych średniowiecznych zabytków języka polskiego i są najbardziej zróżnicowane. Choć odzwierciedlają prawie wszystkie dziedziny życia XV-wiecznych mieszkańców Polski, to jednak pozostają na uboczu głównego nurtu badań historycznojęzykowych. Autor artykułu przypomina historię badań nad polskimi glosami oraz odnosi się do dyskusji dotyczącej terminu glosa, narzędzi opisu glos oraz badań źródłowych.Polish glosses contained in 15th- century manuscripts are one of the basic elements of Polish historicallinguistic research. They are the largest and most diverse group of medieval monuments of the Polish language. Although they reflect almost all areas of life of the 15th-century inhabitants of Poland, they remain separated from the mainstream of historical and linguistic research. The author summarizes the history of research on Polish glosses and refers to the discussion on the term ‘gloss’, tools for describing glosses, and source research
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dwa staropolskie zaklęcia z XV w.
Full text linkTwo old-Polish incantations of the fifteenth centuryThe fifteenth-century manuscript no. R. XV. 3 belonging to the Archive of the Polish Province of Dominican Fathers in Cracow contains magic formulas (pages 192r–193v). These are so-called ‘incantationes’: against a rabid dog, against a rabid dog bite, against a thunder, against all the poison, against venomous worms and against rabies (Contra rabiem venenosi canis, Contra morsum rabidi canis, Contra toniturua, Benediccio panis pro pecudibus... contra omnem venenum, Contra venenosos vermes, Contra rabies). The last two of them is unique because it was written in Polish. Up to now, only three other medieval magic spells written in Polish were known to us. They were published in 1895 by Aleksander Brückner in Volume XXIV of Rozprawy Akademii Umiejętności.The incantations against venomous worms and against rabies are a valuable monuments of the Old Polish language not only due to the nature of this texts, but also because of the fifteenth-century words and word forms that were unknown until now. This small size formulas is a linguistic testimony of medieval medical practices and an expression of faith in God combined with superstitious beliefs
FRAGMENT KALENDARZA W JĘZYKU POLSKIM Z XIV/XV WIEKU ZE ZBIORÓW BIBLIOTEKI JAGIELLOŃSKIEJ W KRAKOWIE
Full text linkA manuscript stored in the Jagiellonian Library (no. 1564 from 1404) holds a fragment of a Polish calendar, previously unpublished, from the late 14th century or the early 15th century. Written on the last, extra parchment page, it is a fragment of a much larger manuscript. The first 13 days of January have survived (1 to 13 January) and 13 days of February (4 to 19 February). The fragment contains 17 names, five of which are not included in the Słownik staropolskich nazw osobowych (Dictionary of Old Polish Proper Nouns, W. Taszycki, ed., vol. 1-7, Wrocław 1965-1987), namely Arkadyj, Emilijan, Iginij, Sotera, Wedast. The word january (January, in Polish styczeń) has not been recognised by dictionaries, either. There is no equivalent of the calendar in question in Poland or other European countries. It is impossible to indicate the diocese or a milieu where it could have been used. The document includes a few names of saints properly attributed to the days of their cult and names attributed to days not used in other known calendars. This leads to a conclusion that the calendar was either used in an unknown milieu or we are dealing with a simple error of the copyist. The latter theory best explains the peculiarity of this fragment of the calendar. This is confirmed by marking 4 nd 5 February as Ide rather than Nones, and 12 and 13 February as calends rather than Ides. The calendar was probably erroneously planned by the copyist who confused the days and affiliation of saints. Perhaps these errors were spotted early, the copying process was never completed and the parchment was recycled. Most probably, the intention behind the calendar (1564) was a large parchment “poster”, reminiscent of a scroll, used to inform the congregation about the holidays in the year. The calendar is unique because of the names of saints included in it and the fact that it is written in Polish.A manuscript stored in the Jagiellonian Library (no. 1564 from 1404) holds a fragment of a Polish calendar, previously unpublished, from the late 14th century or the early 15th century.

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
