Thesis / Purpose: The aim of the article is to analyze the legends and biographies of saints for children published in Poland in the years 1945–1949. There are 19 items in the attached bibliography. Research method: The material was analyzed from autopsy on the basis of the copies preserved in the National Library (registered in the Polish bibliography of the Official Print List in Przewodnik Bibliograficzny). Results / Conclusions: Most of the items were published in Cracow and Warsaw in the years 1947–1948. Their authors were mostly well-known and respected secular writers, among whom Maria Kączkowska deserves special attention. Some texts had their pre-war editions. In legends and biographies, more than 50 people recognized by the Catholic Church as saints or dead were presented. Biographies, especially those of “holy children”, were to constitute a role model for the young reader. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses catechisms for children and youth published in Poland in the years 1945-1949. The bibliography includes 58 catechisms. What is a characteristic feature of the genre is its visible standardization, adaptations and shortened versions. Catechisms were written by priests. Most of them were published in 1949. The most significant publishers were diocesan curias in Katowice, Kielce, Olsztyn, monastic and secular publishing houses. The presented material was examined on the basis of the copies preserved in the National Library. The collection was divided into the following sub-sections: 1. Catechisms preparing to the first confession and communion, 2. General/shortened catechisms, 3. Catechisms for the youth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gottfried Lengnich, a historian and lawyer who lived in Gdańsk in the 18th century left behind a collection of over 4,000 books. The collection was sold during two auctions in July and November 1774. Auction registers found in the State Library in Berlin - the Foundation of the Prussian Cultural Heritage - are available on-line. Owing to Lengnich's academic interests, the collection includes 600 Polonicas, the majority of which are works concerning history, law and politics. The analysis of this fragment of Lengnich's collection shows that it includes the majority of the most significant Polish and foreign authors writing about the history and law of Poland and Prussia.

In der Philosophie Walter Benjamins lässt sich eine Tendenz zu einem Ineinanderumschlagen und Sich-Übereinanderschieben zweier Einheiten beobachten – der Einheit der Zahl (als Begriffsidentität) und der Einheit der Konfiguration (als Bild). Die Folge davon ist der Umstand, dass Benjamin – wie bereits Adorno bemerkt hat – anstelle der ‚verpflichtenden Aussage‘ eine metaphorische setzt, dass er über einen Begriff spricht, jedoch im Modus des Bildes. Im vorliegenden Artikel wird aufgezeigt, dass der von Benjamin, wie es scheint, intendierten Unzulänglichkeit der Trennung von Mythos und Geschichte, der Kritik am Technischen und einer Faszination für das Meta-Technische, sein ambivalentes Verhältnis zur Zahl (als der unbedingten Grenze) zugrunde liegt.
