Hagiografia polska. Najnowsze osiągnięcia
Journal Title: Studia Nauk Teologicznych PAN - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue
Abstract
A lot of beatifications and canonizations have taken place in recent years. This has led to the publication of life histories, either scientific or popular in character, of those elevated to the glory of the altars. After 1945 the first important book was Hagiografia polska (The Polish Hagiography). Another important book was Twojeimię (Your Name) by H. Fros and F. Sowa, republished several times. In his article E. Walewander explains methodological requirements for a hagiographical text which is to be historical in nature, based on historical sources and using methods characteristic of Church history. A similar publication is Sancti. Miracula. Peregrinationes by A. Witkowska, which is a collection of essays on various hagiographical issues. The two-volume edition of Staropolskie piśmiennictwo hagiograficzne (The Old Polish Hagiographical Writings) by A. Witkowska and J. Nastalska is a bio-bibliographical dictionary of hagiographers of the pre-partition Poland and a collection of old Polish hagiographical texts. Drogi rozwojowe hagiografii polskiej w wiekach średnich (The Developments of Polish Hagiography in the Middle Ages) by J. Starnawski is a study in the development of Polish writings in the Middle Ages. In the post-war Polish hagiography most publications have been biographical in nature, while there are still not enough methodological and research studies in hagiography of the 19th and 20th c.
