Listy pobożne Catherine d’Amboise – formy epistolograficzne, modlitewne i poetyckie w manuskrypcie i w pierwszym wydaniu
No full textThe Author presents an analysis of the work by Catherine d’Amboise (1482–1550) in its first edition: Les dévotes epistres (1861), taking into account the changes made by the edition’s author Jean-Jacques Bourassé (1813–1872) in relation to the manuscript. A description is presented of the reasons and consequences of the decision to separate a number of units from the whole body of work and giving them separate titles. The Author proves that the key element which determines the message of the volume is the l’envoi, used by Bourassé not only in the original context of the royal chant, but also as a synonym for a letter or its part.Autorka przedstawia analizę dzieła Catherine d’Amboise (1482–1550) w jego pierwszym wydaniu: Les dévotes epistres (1861), z uwzględnieniem zmian dokonanych przez autora opracowania Jean-Jacques Bourassé (1813–1872) w stosunku do manuskryptu. Omówione zostały przyczyny i konsekwencje decyzji o wydzieleniu z całości kilku jednostek i nadaniu im własnych tytułów. Autorka dowodzi, że elementem decydującym o wymowie tomu jest l’envoi, użyte przez Bourassé nie tylko w pierwotnym kontekście pieśni królewskiej, lecz także jako synonim listu lub jego części
Devoted Christian, Dominant Duchess, Diminished Historical Recognition: Author Portraiture in the Hours of Catherine of Cleves
No full textOwner portraits often appear in the illuminations or historiated initials of the popular late-medieval devotional, the book of hours. By the 13th century, a text known as the book of hours had filled a much sought-after longing of the laity to mimic the practices of the clergy. Through the production of this new lay prayer book, the practice of monastic communities gathering at canonical hours to recite prayers could now be practiced individually by lay people. These prayer books were often commissioned for, and at times by, women. This paper will discuss one specific book of hours, commissioned by a 15th century Duchess, Catherine of Cleves. The Hours of Catherine of Cleves, illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves, a famously original artist recognized as the finest illuminator of the medieval northern Netherlands, is a masterpiece. The incredibly detailed miniatures display not only a unique and lavish display of biblical narrative, but the author portraits and full pages on which they appear offer a very personal look into the life and priorities of its owner and commissioner, Catherine of Cleves. This paper seeks to explore the leaves of the Hours of Catherine of Cleves where her portrait appears. I examine the purposeful prominence of feminine themes as well as emphasis on her personal heraldry and ancestors, rather than that of her husband. These purposeful emphases support that Catherine was not only the commissioner, but also involved in artistic decisions surrounding key images included in her book of hours.</p

Samozatrudnienie w świetle prawa Zjednoczonego Królestwa
No full textThe United Kingdom has noted a rapid increase in the number of self-employed persons in the last forty years. This has prompted a return to the debate on the regulation of this category of workers. What are the key characteristics of the self-employed? Are they covered by labour law and social security regulations? This chapter answers these questions by looking at the legal framework applicable to the self-employed in the UK. In section 2, the author characterizes the main tendencies regarding self-employed activity in the United Kingdom as presented in a report of the Office of National Statistics for 2020. In sections 3 and 4, she analyses the definition and the legal framework that guarantee protection applicable to the self-employed. The author places particular emphasis on the tri-partite character of the British legal system in individual employment law, which includes certain categories of self-employed in the British definition of worker. Finally, section 5 is devoted to the ever more popular phenomenon of “bogus self-employment” and the legal mechanisms designed to combat it.Przez ostatnie czterdzieści lat Zjednoczone Królestwo odnotowało gwałtowny wzrost liczby samozatrudnionych. Spowodowało to powrót do debaty nad uregulowaniami dotyczącymi tej kategorii wykonawców pracy. Jakie są główne cechy charakterystyczne samozatrudnionych? Czy podlegają oni prawu pracy i przepisom o zabezpieczeniu społecznym? Niniejszy rozdział odpowiada na powyższe pytania, analizując ramy prawne mające zastosowanie do samozatrudnionych w Wielkiej Brytanii. Autorka w punkcie 2 charakteryzuje główne tendencje w zakresie samozatrudnienia w Zjednoczonym Królestwie, które zostały przedstawione w raporcie brytyjskiego Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego (Office of National Statistics – ONS) za 2020 rok. W punktach 3 i 4 analizuje definicję i ramy prawne gwarantujące ochronę, która ma zastosowanie do samozatrudnionych. Autorka szczególny nacisk kładzie na trójpodział brytyjskiego systemu prawnego w indywidualnym prawie pracy, które włącza pewne kategorie samozatrudnionych do definicji „pracownika” (worker) obowiązującej w Zjednoczonym Królestwie. Na koniec w punkcie 5 przedstawione zostało coraz powszechniejsze zjawisko „fikcyjnego samozatrudnienia” oraz mechanizmy prawne służące do jego zwalczania
Offices of St. Catherine of Alexandria
No full textW Narodowym Archiwum Szwecji przechowywana jest największa w Europie północnej kolekcja fragmentów ksiąg pergaminowych (około 23 000), w dużym stopniu liturgicznych. Z tej liczby nieco ponad 5 000 zostało udostępnionych online (stan w 2020 r.). Autor wyizolował 67 fragmentów, które zawierają teksty i śpiewy Liturgii Godzin ku czci Św. Katarzyny Aleksandryjskiej. Do Soboru Trydenckiego skomponowano kilkanaście oficjów katarzyńskich, z których przewagę osiągnęły cztery. Oficja te, charakteryzują się dość wysokim stopniem wariantowości, co może być wskazówką w procesie ustalania proweniencji poszczególnych fragmentów.The Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet) houses the largest collection of parchment books’ fragments in Northern Europe (ca. 23 000), a great number of which is liturgical. Out of them a little over 5 000 were available online as of 2020. The author of this article isolated 67 fragments containing texts and chants of the Liturgy of the Hours in honour of St. Catherine of Alexandria. By the time of the Council of Trent numerous Offices of St. Catherine were created, out of which four became the most widely represented. These four Offices are characterized with a high degree of diversification, which can serve as a clue during provenance studies of the respective fragments

Describing typeforms: a designer's response
No full textThe paper sets out an overview of a pragmatic research investigation initiated within a doctoral enquiry, and which continues to inform design practice and pedagogy. Located within the fields of typography and information design, and very much concerned with design history, enquiry emphasized exploration of alternative design research methodologies in the production of a design outcome loaded with pedagogical ambition.
The issue being addressed within the investigation was the limited scope of existing typeface classificatory systems to adequately describe the diversity of forms represented within current type design practice and thus, recent acquisitions to an established teaching collection in London.
Addressing this issue unexpectedly came to utilize the researcher’s own design practice as a methodology for managing emergent enquiry, and for organizing and generating new knowledge through the employment of visual information management methods.
A primary outcome of the enquiry was a new framework for the description of typeforms. This new framework will be described in terms of its operation, divergence from existing models and potential for application
“Gratulemur in honore” – Endemic Office on St. Catherine of Alexandria
No full textThe author analyzes “Gratulemur in honore” - an office on St. Catherine of Alexandria. The author proved that this is an endemic work, created in the 13th century in Liège or the surrounding areas. It did not, however, spread in Europe. In Poland the only code that includes this (incomplete) office is “Pontificale Plocense”, probably also created in 12th c. in Liège, which reached Poland already in the 13th century. The liturgical books used in the Diocese of Płock (in the 15th and 16th centuries) contain only one antiphon from the “Gratulemur” office.Autor analizuje oficjum „Gratulemur in honore” o św. Katarzynie z Aleksandrii. Wykazuje, że jest to dzieło endemiczne, które powstało w XIII w. w Liège lub okolicach, nie zdołało jednak rozprzestrzenić się w Europie. W Polsce jedynym kodeksem, który zawiera to oficjum (niepełne), jest „Pontificale Plocense”, powstałe prawdopodobnie także w Liège, które już w XIII w. znalazło się w Polsce. Księgi liturgiczne używane w diecezji płockiej (XV i XVI w.) zawierają jedną antyfonę z oficjum „Gratulemur”
Czas, czekanie, cierpliwość. Refleksje o niekochanych mężach w powieściach pani de Lafayette i Catherine Bernard
No full textThe goal of the article is to apply the concepts of time, patient waiting, and actions of unloved husbands to the characterization of the main protagonists of the novels The Princess of Cleves by Madame de Lafayette (1678) and The Count of Amboise by Catherine Bernard (1689). The questions addressed in the analysis are: How do the passage of time and patience affect the behaviour of unloved husbands? How does patience evolve when confronted with jealousy? What view of human nature follows from the observation of the unloved husbands? The questions are approached on the basis of an analysis of the plot and critical studies of the two novels and their cultural context. It should be noted that Madame de Lafayette’s novel has been extensively studied, but Bernard’s work is relatively little known.
Following the introduction, the first part of the article is devoted to Monsieur de Cleves, more specifically to the time when he is waiting for his wife’s love before the princess confesses that she has already conferred her feelings upon somebody else, the time of suffering, jealousy, the time of losing patience and finally the time of death. It is argued that Monsieur de Cleves passes the trial of patience, despite his despair driving him to cruelty and mischief. The second part of the article deals with Count of Amboise, and puts forth the thesis that he is only pretending to wait patiently for his wife-to-be to return his love. It is demonstrated that this protagonist is selfish and his motives are low, even when he sacrifices himself for Madmoiselle de Roye. He is lacking in patience and his behaviour is far from dignified.
In conclusion, the author of the article points out that although the unloved husband is a tragic figure in both novels, Monsieur de Cleves bears his suffering with dignity, showing patience and avoiding moral degradation, whereas Bernard’s protagonist epitomizes a destructive impact of emotional suffering, which reveals the dark and selfish side of human nature
