Kilka uwag na temat stosunków króla Jana Olbrachta z hospodarem mołdawskim Stefanem do 1495 roku

The article provides information based on the unpublished royal accounts of John Albert preserved in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw and concerning the diplomatic relations between the Polish ruler and Stephen, the Voivode (hospodar) of Moldavia, until 1495. After John Albert ascended the throne in 1492, the Polish court was visited by envoys from Moldavia. We know on the basis of the accounts that, for example, an envoy sent by the Voivode visited the king during a session of the Sejm in Piotrków in 1493. Next, from May to November 1493, a brother (frater) of the Voivode of Moldavia was a guest at the royal court during his stay in Poznań. The entries in the accounts also confirm the presence of two envoys from Moldavia during the King’s stay in Cracow at the beginning of 1494. Another envoy from the Voivode of Moldavia arrived in Cracow after the King’s return from the congress in Levoča in the second half of May 1494. At that time, John Albert sent one of his servants on a mission to Voivode Stephen. Towards the end of 1494, an envoy from Moldavia arrived at the royal court during John Albert’s visit to Elbląg. It is also known that the Voivode sent gifts – the King’s brother, i.e. Sigismund Jagiellonian, received “bridles made in Turkey” from him. The royal accounts do not provide any information about diplomatic relations between John Albert and Voivode Stephen after 1495. Therefore, we do not know what these were like in the period preceding the invasion of Moldavia in 1497. These sources were not used in the existing studies analysing King John Albert’s policy towards Moldavia, including those prepared in recent years.

Дурка Я. Януш Радзивілл (1880–1967): Політична біографія / Переклад з польської А. Бондаря. Тернопіль : Видавництво «Крок», 2023. 552 с.

The article analyzes the monograph of the Polish historian Jaroslaw Durka, "Janusz Radziwiłł (1880-1967). Political Biography", translated into Ukrainian from the Polish edition, published in Warsaw in 2011. J. Durka is a Doctor of Historical Sciences and researcher at the Kalisz Academy President Stanislaw Wojciechowski, an author of numerous publications related to the Radziwiłł family. The book describes the political biography of one of the brightest figures of Polish conservatism, Prince Janusz Radziwiłł, a parliamentarian of the Second Polish Republic [II Rzeczpospolita], an aristocrat, a person whose life absorbed all the significant events of the social and political life of Europe at the end of the 19th century – the 1960s. The monograph uses a vast source base, which includes documents from the Central Archives of Modern Records, the Central Archives of Historical Records, and the Central Military Archive (Warsaw), state voivodeship archives, in particular, Częstochowa, Kalisz, Katowice, Kraków, the Ossolinski National Institute in Wrocław, etc. The research examines publications from interwar periodicals, oral testimonies collected directly by the author, memoirs, published documents, etc. The author of the monograph highlights the traditions of the Radziwiłł family, the formation of Janusz Radziwiłł’s worldview and his political career, paying attention to his activities during the First World War, focusing on Janusz Radziwiłł's public and charitable activities in interwar Poland, the life of the last owner of the town of Olyka during the Second World War. One of the chapters draws attention to the final period of the life and activity of Janusz Radziwiłł, which he spent under the supervision of the special services of the Polish People’s Republic, practically outside of politics. J. Durka’s monograph, translated into Ukrainian, reveals little-studied pages of the history of Poland and Ukraine at the end of the XIXth – the first half and middle of the XXth century, prompting researchers for new scientific studies in the field of historical biography.

Itinerarium wojewody kijowskiego Tomasza Zamoyskiego z Kijowa do Zamościa (4–21 listopada 1619 r.) – przyczynek do analizy mobilności magnackiej w epoce nowożytnej

In the Zamoyski Archives, kept in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw, there is a description of a journey from Kiev to Zamość made by Tomasz Zamoyski, the voivode of Kiev (born in 1594 – died in 1638). This document, written by the magnate, is a day-to-day itinerary from 4 to 21 November 1619. A short descriptive itinerary records of the towns or obstacles the travelers pass over (mainly rivers). Valuable – from a scientific perspective – is also the specification of the daily distance covered and measured in miles. In some cases, the report also contains mentions of the owners of the estates visited by the voivode and his retinue. Recalled handwritten data makes it possible to conduct a more in-depth investigation’ into the domestic mobility of Polish-Lithuanian political elites of the modern era. This article focuses on three main issues. Firstly, reconstructing the course of the analyzed travel route and comparing it with the main roads of the time in Kiev and Volhynia. Secondly, calculating how much, according to the itinerary, was one mile. Thirdly, determining the daily pace of travel of Tomasz Zamoyski's retinue. The last two issues will be compared with the previous research results of other researchers of the modern era.

Organizacja spławu w dobrach kasztelanowej krakowskiej Izabeli z Poniatowskich Branickiej

This article is devoted to the organisation of river floating in the estates of the Branicki family (coat-of-arms Gryf), managed from 1771 by Izabela Branicka née Poniatowska, widow of the castellan of Kraków and Great Hetman of the Crown Jan Klemens. The article is based on archival sources from the Roskie Archive fonds stored in the holdings of the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw. Particularly important in the findings of the text is the correspondence from the circle of Izabela Branicka's clerks and officials involved in the administration of her landed estates. The issue of floating was discussed in several areas, including the characteristics of: waterways and ports used by the Branicka's flotilla, directions of river transport and its volume, management of the flotilla in terms of froth and renting ships and boats, the state of the flotilla in terms of construction, repairs and purchase of vessels forming it, crews of ships and boats – including the number of personnel, functions, maintenance costs, and finally the course of floating and factors affecting it.

O wykazach urzędników sieradzkich, łęczyckich, kujawskich i dobrzyńskich w Metryce Koronnej, ks. 14 i ich datacji raz jeszcze

The article examines attempts to date the list of Central Polish officials (the Sieradz, Łęczyca, Dobrzyń, and Kujawy areas), given on fol. 211v–212 of the Crown Register (Metryka Koronna – MK) 14 kept in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw. Sobiesław Szybkowski dated the Kuyawa lists roughly to the years 1480–1484, and the Dobrzyń lists to 1485, with corrections made in them in the years 1491–1494. Janusz Bieniak, on the other hand, dated the original level of the Sieradz, Łęczyca, Dobrzyń and Kujawy lists to the spring or early summer of 1484, earlier additions to the Dobrzyń lists to the years 1485–1489, and later amendments to all lists to the period after 1491. A closer analysis of the external features of the original lists of officials from the areas of Sieradz, Łęczyca, Dobrzyńska, and Kujawy from fol. 2011v–212 MK 14, suggests somewhat different possibilities than before regarding the approximate dating of this important source. It seems that seven hands contributed to its final shape. The first level of the text came from hand no. 1, who planned the list concerning the areas of Sieradz, Łęczyca, Brzeg voivodship (fol. 211v MK 14), and Inowrocław voivodship (beginning of fol. 212 MK 14). It was probably written at the end of 1482 or at the beginning of 1483 (by late spring). The first additions to this list were made by hand no. 2, who also started the Dobrzyń list in free space at the bottom of the first column at fol. 211v. This probably happened in 1485. The next hands, nos 3–7, supplemented and modified the Central Poland lists up to the last years of the reign of Kazimierz Jagiellończyk. Interventions (in the form of deletions) took place during the reign of Jan Olbracht. The annex to the article is a full critical edition of the list of officials of Central Poland from Crown Register (Metryka Koronna) 14.

Sources of the history of the Jewish community in Dobrzyń nad Wisłą (1507-1939)

No full monograph has yet been devoted to the history of the Jewish community in Dobrzyń nad Wisłą. This paper, whose subject is the almost completely unknown history of Jews from Dobrzyń in the years 1507-1939, stems not only from the author’s own interests, but also from the need to fill the above-mentioned gap. To study the topic, the author used mainly archival sources, which were the legacy of administrative and political authorities. Fragments of source materials are currently kept in the State Archive in Bydgoszcz and the State Archive in Toruń, and the branch in Włocławek. Especially noteworthy sources include: the vital records of Jewish people (1826-1936), the records of the Pomeranian Voivodeship Office in Toruń (1920-1939), the town records of Dobrzyń nad Wisłą (1917 -1937), and the records of the Board of the National Council (1950-1972). In these collections, the largest numbers of documents are extracts from birth records, official correspondence, minutes from the meetings of local authorities, and municipal inspections from the inter-war period. Apart from the above-mentioned archival collections, the author used a wide range of other source materials, for example, collections of maps kept in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw and in the District Office in Lipno, as well as very interesting items from private collections. Most of the above-mentioned sources have not yet been published.

TAX REGISTER OF ZOLOCHIV ESTATE IN LVIV LAND FROM 1598

The article is devoted to the introduction into scientific circulation of a source on the history of Lviv land of Ruthenian Voivodeship – the tax register of Zolochiv private estate from 1598. So far, this is the only identified register of settlements that certifies that tax collection in the Kingdom of Poland was performed in that year. In the fund of the Crown Treasure Archive of the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw (where most of the land tax registers are kept), no tax register for 1598 has been found. The researched document represents the list of 57 settlements in the eastern part of Lviv land, united into a single private estate with its center in the town of Zolochiv. During the 16th century, it belonged to the Górka, Czarnkowski, and Zborowski families. Shortly after the tax collection in 1598, Marek Sobieski, the grandfather of King Jan III Sobieski of Poland, became the estate owner. The register, along with the names of settlements, lists specific categories of the population, infrastructure facilities, the number of houses (in Zolochiv), the area of settlements in the „aratra” („plows”; an archaic unit of measurement), as well as the amount of tax. In the process of comparing the information presented in the document with similar data in other tax registers of Lviv land of the second half of the 16th century, a number of features were revealed. Thus, the register from 1598 provides incomplete information about local infrastructure (no data on taverns and distilleries; churches are mentioned only twice) and specific categories of the population (no rural artisans) but contains the first mentions of several settlements (Dumivtsi, Pudlivtsi, Tovstiv) and change of their status (the town of Adrinopil, which became a village). The article is accompanied by the publication of the document based on a copy in the book of the Lviv City Court, which is stored in the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv. The names of settlements are identified in square brackets.

Curienses w służbie wojskowej na Rusi za panowania króla Jana Olbrachta – zarys problematyki źródłowej

This article includes an analysis of the accounting records preserved in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw which refer to the years of the reign of King John I Albert (1492–1501), in terms of the issues connected with the military service performed by horse courtiers (curienses) in the defence of Ruthenia.

Szafa z kochankami. Praktyki przesłaniania, odsłaniania i zasłaniania historii Obór w twórczości Mirona Białoszewskiego

The aim of this article is to capture one of the unveilings of the history of the manor house in Obory, near Warsaw, and to analyse the principle structuring the essence of transformation of this place in Miron Białoszewski’s work. Using the geocritical method, the author examinesthe relationship between characters and things related to this place selected by Białoszewski and the poetics he used. The frequently recurring motif of the wardrobe was juxtaposed with the analys is of inventories andwills belonging to the owner of the manor at the turn of the 17th and18th centuries, which are preserved in The Central Archivesof Historical Records in Warsaw. The main part of the article is devoted to the aestheticsand functions of 18th-century furniture in relation to the context of thecourt culture of that time, which Białoszewski explored poetically. In his works he played out the tension between the covering and uncovering ofthe secrets hidden in the complicated security systems of baroque furniture.This tension accumulates in the spatial nature of Obory: it is a remoteand hidden place. Its location allowed Białoszewski to practice covering, uncovering and recovering the history of the manor. These practices notonly constituted the structuring principle of the writer’spoetics, but they also open up the possibility of following the transformations of places of such semantic complexity as Obory. They allow us to capture the dynamics of changes that often involve inverting their previous meanings, e.g. in the context of agricultural reform, and also help to expose the related conflicts.

Manuscript Books: Collections of Political Life Materials from the Area of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Dating Back to the 17th and 18th Centuries in Libraries, Archives and Museums in Poland

The article discusses manuscript books – collections of public life materials created in the 17th and 18th centuries in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, now located in Poland. They were created mainly by nobles and by chancellery clerks and officials employed at magnates’ and state dignitaries’ courts as an expression of the interests of collectors or documentary and historiographical concerns, and sometimes also as support for public activity. They contained various materials related to conducting, documenting and recording public life. The present overview is based on an identification of copies and on the information contained in printed and online manuscript catalogues and inventories. The number of surviving manuscripts of that type can be hypothetically estimated at ca. 400–500 copies, with ca. 100 copies identified in Poland. Their largest collection is held in the Radvilos Archives, part of the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw, with single copies scattered across different libraries and museums. The oldest ones date back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The greatest value should be attributed to several manuscripts originating from the Radvilos of Biržai community from the mid-17th century. Other valuable manuscripts include some made by common nobles, especially in the 17th century, as they often contain unique materials, unknown from elsewhere, as well as those created in the circles of the Sapiegos and Radvilos of Nyasvizh magnate families. Standing out among the latter are miscellanies created during the first three decades of the 18th century by Kazimierz Złotkowski, secretary of the Grand Chancellor of Lithuania Karolis Stanislovas Radvila. These books attest to the integration of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania’s nobility and magnates with other lands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. They largely contain materials relating to public life of the whole Commonwealth, while often including materials relating to local issues.

O liczebności dworu królewskiego Kazimierza Jagiellończyka w świetle spisów dworzan z 1470 i 1478 r.

The hitherto unpublished excerpts from the account record of sub-treasuries from the years 1470 and 1478, which were dispensed by Tomasz Trąmbczyński, and which are kept in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw (Crown Treasury Archive Complex, Branch 1 Royal Accounts, ref. no. 338; Division 85 Crown Army Signature Registers, ref. no. 1) feature comprehensive lists of equerries with the court of Casimir IV Jagiellon, therefore constituting invaluable sources of knowledge about the organization, composition and population of the Polish royal court at that time. Among some of the insights they offer is the clear distinction between courtiers and royal valets among the members of the court who maintained post riders in their service. The inventory indicates that the royal court at that time consisted of about 80 persons having post riders at their disposal. Half of this quorum was composed of the members of the court who served as royal courtiers, including those who held central and court-based offices. The group of royal valets with post riders at their disposal also amounted to 40 people. Based on the data drawn from the lists of equerries, it can be estimated that in 1478 there were about 650 – 660 horses in the postal service of the members of the court of King Casimir IV Jagiellon. These findings show that the court of the ruler consisted of 30 persons with post riders more than calculated by M. Wilska on the basis of the published royal accounts. Taking into account the new data, it can be assumed that the court of King Casimir IV Jagiellon consisted of at least 160 courtiers, while upon consideration of the number of equestrian postal units, it may be inferred that this quorum encompassed 730 – 740 persons.

Pragmatyzm czy zdrada? Relacje pomiędzy przywódcami rokoszu sandomierskiego, Mikołajem Zebrzydowskim i Januszem Radziwiłłem, po klęsce pod Guzowem

[Pragmatism or betrayal? Relations between the leaders of the Sandomierz rebellion, Mikołaj Zebrzydowski and Janusz Radziwiłł, after the defeat at Guzów] The Sandomierz sedition (Polish: rokosz sandomierski), the revolt of part of the nobility against Sigismund III in the years 1606–1609, was the largest noble movement in the 17th century and one of the most important noble revolts in the history of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. The essential rebellion leaders include the voivode of Cracow, Mikołaj Zebrzydowski, and the Lithuanian cup‑bearer, Janusz Radziwiłł. The leaders of the movement, apart from belonging to the elite of the Polish‑Lithuanian state, differed basically in everything: age, political experience, religion, views and a vision of repairing the state. However until losing the battle of Guzów (July 5, 1607) with the royal forces, Zebrzydowski and Radziwiłł represented, with some minor exceptions, a coherent position regarding the methods of activity and goals of the movement. The purpose of this article is to analyze the decomposition of this alliance formed under the influence of specific conditions. Its aim is not to show which of the leaders did not comply with the decisions made earlier (the matter is obvious here, it was Mikołaj Zebrzydowski), but to explain the motives behind the actions of the Cracow voivode and the attitude that Janusz Radziwiłł adopted towards the actions of his former ally. Documents from the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw were attached to the article as an annex.

Karol Brzostowski i jego Instytucja Rolno-Fabryczna Sztabińska

Karol Brzostowski was born in 1796. His parents were Ewa Chreptowicz and Michał Hieronim. His grandfather was Joachim Litawor Chreptowicz – writer, poet, and activist of the Commision of National Education. Karol Brzostowski was a famous landowner in the first half of the 19th century. He was a farmer of the Sztabin estates. His greatest achievement in the field of industrial development was the establishment of the Sztabińska Huta settlement, in which there were: a factory of agricultural machines and tools; glassworks, foundry and a blast furnace. Karol Brzostowski was also an inventor and constructor. In his will, written on November 29, 1853, he granted Sztabin’s provincial landowners ownership of the land, and from the rest of the property he created the Factories Fund, called the Sztabińska Agricultural and Factory Institution. The Institution started operating on January 1, 1855, a few months after the testator’s death. Its property consisted of industrial plants and agricultural estates. A few years after his death, the Institution started to go bankrupt. In 1948, the remains of the Institution, in the form of a forest known as the Sztabin Parcellation, became property of the state. The main aim of this article is to present a short outline of the history of the Sztabińska Agricultural and Factory Institution. The most important source giving rise to its existence is the mentioned will of Karol Brzostowski. The Sztabińska Agricultural and Factory Institution was written about by, inter alia, L. Pietrusiński, J. Rółkowski, I.W. Kosmowska, J. Bartyś, G. Ryżewski, H. Zawistowska-Zacharewicz and S. Maciejewski. The files concerning the Sztabińska Agricultural and Factory Institution are located, among others, in the State Archives in Suwałki and the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw.

Nagrobek Stanisława Staszica a polityka wizerunkowa Towarzystwa Warszawskiego Przyjaciół Nauk

Stanisław Staszic’s Tombstone and the Image-Building Policy of the Warsaw Society of Friends of Sciences The article is devoted to the artistic setting of Stanisław Staszic’s (1755–1826) burial place, for which his main heir, the Warsaw Royal Society of the Friends of Sciences (TKWPN), was responsible. The inspiration to raise this topic was the discovery of two previously unknown Jakub Tatarkiewicz’s designs of Staszic’s unrealized neoclassical tombstone in the collections of the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw (AGAD). However, the projects were never commissioned by TKWPN but were the sculptor’s proposal. By analysing the relationship between these artistic projects and the initiatives concerning Staszic’s tomb which stemmed directly from the Society (a big raw stone as memorial), the article highlights the problem of TKWPN’s participation in creating the posthumous cult of its long-time president and most important benefactor. The TKWPN’s seemingly paradoxical reluctance to glorify Staszic by means of traditional (artistic) forms of commemoration can be interpreted as a logical action calculated to benefit the Society’s image. Therefore, focusing on this single aspect of the posthumous cult of Staszic, directly related to the TKWPN, this article refers to the image-building policy of this institution, and thus to the ways of building its social status. At the same time, it tackles the issue of the prestige of science and scientific patronage as a new (from the early 19th-century perspective) form of public merit.

In the Shadow of a Mild Revolution: Polish Women's Political Attitudes during the Great Sejm (1788−1792)

AbstractThe Great Sejm (1788−1792) is perceived as a turning point in Stanisław August Poniatowski's reign and as one of the most important Sejms in the history of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Studies devoted to this period concentrate in particular on parliamentary debates and deputies’ actions, as they were leading actors in this so‐called Polish mild revolution. However, an interesting line of inquiry is to ask about women's experiences, as they were also aware of the importance of these events. This paper presents conclusions arising out of analysis of women's correspondence from the Archiwum Roskie (Roskie Archives): the legacy of the Lithuanian and Polish aristocratic Sapieha, Branicki and Potocki families that is maintained at the Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych (Central Archives of Historical Records) in Warsaw. First, the article describes the group of correspondents and the source material extracted for examination. Second, it focuses on women's approaches towards the Sejm, its deputies and its attempts to reform the Republic. Lastly, it tries to explain the factors influencing women's attitudes. The study's results allow us to gain a better understanding of elite women's political culture in the late eighteenth‐century Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Z grabieży Katarzyny ocalone szczątki... czyli udział Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Warszawie w rewindykacji księgozbiorów na mocy traktatu ryskiego

The article deals with the works of the Special Mixed Commission formed as a result of the Polish-Soviet Riga Peace Treaty, which functioned during the years 1921–1937. The issue of the Polish cultural goods was brought forward by the Polish side already during the initial phases of the peace negotiations. The Poles considerd their cultural claims as one of the major problems to be resolved. Poland demanded the return of various archival, library and museum objects. These demands were met to a certain degree. Detailed issues were to be decided by the Mixed Commission. Since the beginning of its functioning, the Commission was aided by the Warsaw University Library, which received the manuscripts, incunabula, and old prints, belonging to the King Stanislaw Poniatowski collections, returned by the Russians. Subsequently, the materials of other than university provenance were transferred in three stages to the National Library (in 1930, 1931, 1936), and to other institutions, among them the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw. The recovery of Polish cultural goods, decreed by the Riga Peace Treaty, because of its far reaching scope, was unprecedented in history. As aresult, Poland regained her great library collections, which were forcibly taken out of the country and allocated to the fonds of the Russian book repositories during the 18th and the 19th centuries. But the process was neither easy nor quick. The Soviet side returned the materials kept at Leningrad – 1764 Latin, French and Italian manuscripts, 1308 incunabula, and 250 historical charters and acts – not earlier than in April 1936. The efforts related to the return of these particular monuments are treated by the author.

Zbiór Ignacego Kapicy Milewskiego – „Kapicjana”

Ignacy Kapica Milewski (1763–1817) was a heraldic expert and archivist active in Brańsk, a minor township in north-eastern Poland. During the seventeen-eighties he started copying selected documents from the archival record-books of the noble courts pertaining to the regions of Podlachia (Podlasie) and north-eastern Mazovia (Mazowsze). In the face of the possibility of destruction or removal of the original acts, Kapica wanted to preserve as much heraldic material as possible. These fears were shared by Franciszek Piotr Potocki (1754–1829), a wealthy landowner and dignitary, who financed Kapica’s works. Over the following years they created a vast collection of extracts, known as the ‘Kapicjana Collection’ or simply the ‘Kapicjana’. Following the deaths of both Kapica and Potocki, the collection was partially owned by the famous ethnologist Zygmunt Gloger. After a complicated history, this collection is now divided between the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw, and the State Archive in Cracow. Today, the ‘Kapicjana’ encompass circa 20 000 extracts, which are organized in accordance with their territorial origin. In spite of the fact that the collection is divided, it should be treated as a unity. In most cases the extracts are related to the petty nobles residing in the north-eastern part of Masovia and in Podlachia, their legal status and their possessions. The collection is therefore of inestimable value to all kinds of regional studies, but, its completeness renders it exceptional for model case studies, the results of which can be of important comparative value for the whole of early-modern Poland.

Polish Council of the Inter-Party Union in the Light of Archival Materials of Józef Kożuchowski

The article presents the activities of the Polish Council of the Inter-Party Union, an organisation gathering Polish national and conservative groups in Russia of the era of revolution in the light of archival materials from Józef Kożuchowski’s Records recently made available to researchers. The collection of files entitled “Polish Council of the Inter-Party Union. Józef Kożuchowski’s Materials” from the Central Archives of Historical Records contains important and unknown so far source material for the history of the Council.

Powinności mieszkańców miasta Tykocin według inwentarza z 1772 roku

Krytyczna edycja źródłowa poświęcona została powinnościom ludności zamieszkującej podlaskie miasto Tykocin. Jest to fragment inwentarza z 1772 r., spisanego po śmierci właściciela Tykocina – Jana Klemensa Branickiego.

Wzmiankowane powinności dotyczą zarówno chrześcijan, jak i Żydów zamieszkujących miasto. W tym fragmencie inwentarza opisano również opłaty, daniny i robocizny czynione przez różne grupy zawodowe. Ustęp ten zawiera też dodatkowe informacje, m.in. o miarach, przepisach porządkowych, targach i jarmarkach w Tykocinie.

Przemarsz armii koronnej pod Chocim podczas kampanii letniej 1538 roku w świetle dokumentacji skarbowo-wojskowej

Szczegółowa analiza kampanii wojennych zazwyczaj obejmuje kwestie związane z taktyką, walką, uzbrojeniem czy pochodzeniem żołnierzy. Mniej popularne są natomiast takie zagadnienia, jak np. przemieszczenia armii, obozowanie czy życie koszarowe/garnizonowe. Stosunkowo dobrze zachowane materiały źródłowe dotyczące letniej kampanii wojennej przeprowadzonej w 1538 r. przeciw Mołdawii pozwalają na dokładne odtworzenie trasy, a właściwie tras przemarszu oddziałów koronnych z miejsc lustracji pod zamek chocimski. Choć armia koronna w tej kampanii nie stanowiła homogenicznej grupy (pod względem przynależności do formacji, stosowanych armatur, pochodzenia społecznego czy terytorialnego), to warto zwrócić uwagę na jej aktywność, ponieważ może ona stać się podstawą do szerszego wnioskowania, również w odniesieniu do innych kontekstów geograficznych i chronologicznych.
