Abstract: In its contemporary usage, the Javanese script is often introduced through a few serviceable yet unvaried typefaces which give an impression of monotony and lack of style capable of carrying various design expressions. This current state of style deficiency is unfortunate because a cursory survey on the history of the Javanese script up to the 20th century reveals a rich tradition of calligraphic and typographic styles. Throughout the island, many scribes used regional stylistic variations, sometimes with striking differences and unique quirks no longer seen in today’s writing. The introduction of printing and metal typefaced also brought western typographic practice into the design of the Javanese script, creating a unique design environment where Javanese and European traditions mingled. This paper would introduce the varied styles of the Javanese script in manuscripts and printed books from the 16th ce to the mid 20th ce in the hopes that it will enrich the contemporary use of the Javanese script. --- Abstrak: Dalam penggunaan terkini, aksara Jawa kerap diperkenalkan melalui sejumlah typefaces yang memadai namun sayangnya tidak bervariasi, sehingga contoh-contoh kontempora seringkali memberi kesan monoton dan kekurangan gaya yang mampu menyampaikan berbagai ekspresi desain. Hal ini sangat disayangkan karena napak tilas sejarah aksara Jawa hingga abad ke 20 menunjukkan tradisi kaligrafis dan tipografis yang sangat kaya. Di seantero pulau, juru tulis di berbagai daerah menggunakan variasi gayanya masing-masing. Terkadang dengan berbedaan yang sangat mencolok atau kekhasan tulis tidak lagi terlihat dalam penulisan masa kini. Kedatangan teknologi cetak dan metal typeface juga turut memperkenalkan aspek tipografis barat ke dalam desain aksara Jawa, hingga terciptalah suatu ranah desain yang unik dari persilangan tradisi tulis Jawa dan tipograf barat. Tulisan ini akan memberikan uraian singkat mengenai ragam langgam aksara Jawa pada naskah tulisan tangan dan cetak antar abad 16 M hingga 20 M awal sebagai perkenalan awal yang dapat memperkaya penerapan aksara Jawa di abad 21 M.

Abstract. The article presents results of a ground penetrating radar (GPR) investigation carried out in the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Kłodzko, Poland, dating from the 14th to 16th centuries. Due to the 20th century wars, the current state of knowledge about the history of the church is still poor. Under the floor of the Catholic temple, unknown structures might exist. To verify the presence of underground structures such as crypts and tombs, a GPR survey was carried out in chapels and aisles with 500 and 800 MHz GPR shielded antennas. Numerous anomalies were detected. It was concluded that those under the chapels were caused by the presence of crypts beneath the floor.

Early printed books from the Krakow Town Archives of Former Records in the resources of the National Archives in Krakow. Initial investigation, provenance analysis The collection of early printed books stored in the National Archives in Krakow has not been processed so far. This article aims to approximate the current state of knowledge regarding the contents of the collection. The historic book collection of the Archives, represented by both Polish and foreign printed books covering various subjects, numbers slightly over 650 works issued before 1801. Included in this number are 28 early printed books from the 16th century, 210 from the 17th century and 413 from the 18th century. The oldest one – Liber horarum canonicarum secundum veram rubricam sive notulam ecclesiae Cracoviensis – was issued in 1508 by the publishing house of Jan Haller in Krakow. The origins of the early printed books vary – they come from donations, acquisitions of archival materials as well as purchases. The greatest number come from donations, with the following donors worthy of special mention: Ambroży Grabowski, Józef Seruga and Franciszek Biesiadecki, as well as Józef Muczkowski, Karol Estreicher and others. An invaluable part of the collection (61 works) are the printed books from the library of Hieronim Pinocci (1612–1676), a merchant, royal secretary and diplomat, acquired from the town archives at the end of the 19th century. Many works, especially those concerning the history of Krakow, were also purchased using the funds of the Archives. The early printed books gathered in the library of the National Archives in Krakow create a particularly valuable collection, which may also be a source of information concerning provenance.

The article has as its object the elucidation of the history of the Vyshnivetsky Castle Library, definition of the content of its fund, its historical and cultural significance, correlation of the founder of the Library Mychailo Servaty Vyshnivetsky with the Book.The Vyshnivetsky Castle Library was formed in the Ukrainian historical region of Volyn’, in the Vyshnivets town – “family nest” of the old Ukrainian noble family of the Vyshnivetskies under the “Korybut” coat of arm. The founder of the Library was Prince Mychailo Servaty Vyshnivetsky (1680–1744) – Grand Hetman and Grand Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Vilno Voievoda. He was a politician, an erudite and great bibliophile. In the 30th–40th of the 18th century the main Prince’s residence Vyshnivets became an important centre of magnate’s culture in Rich Pospolyta. M. S. Vyshnivetsky’s contemporaries from the noble class and clergy knew quite well about his library and really appreciated it. According to historical documents 5 periods are defined in the Library’s history. In the historical sources the first place is occupied by old-printed books of Library collection and 7 Library manuscript catalogues dating from 1745 up to the 1835 which give information about quantity and topical structures of Library collection.The Library is a historical and cultural symbol of the Enlightenment epoch. The Enlightenment and those particular concepts and cultural images pertaining to that epoch had their effect on the formation of Library’s fund. Its main features are as follow: comprehensive nature of the stock, predominance of French eighteenth century editions, presence of academic books and editions on orientalistics as well as works of the ideologues of the Enlightenment and new kinds of literature, which generated as a result of this movement – encyclopaedias, encyclopaedian dictionaries, almanacs, etc. Besides the universal nature of its stock books on history, social and political thought, fiction were dominating.The reconstruction of the history of Vyshnivetsky’s Library, the historical analysis of the provenances in its editions give us better understanding of the personality of its owners and in some cases their philanthropic activities, and a better ability to identify the role of this Library in the culture life of society in a certain epoch.
