KRAKOW EMBROIDERIES TO THE MIDDLE OF THE 15TH CENTURY, AND THEIR CREATORS The book constitutes a monographic study of embroideries created to the middle of 15th century in Krakow, the main artistic centre of Lesser Poland (Małopolska). The publication presents many new findings concerning Krakow embroiderers and their works. It was possible to determine that over a dozen embroiderers worked in Krakow from the 1390s to the middle of the 15th century. Five of them engaged in silk embroidery (Klemens, an embroiderer at the court of Władysław Jagiełło, and town embroiderers: Michał, Wojtek, Grzegorz and Johannes). At least four of them used the golden thread (probably Johannes, an embroiderer creating works for the king Władysław Jagiełło, town embroiderers Mikołaj and Jan Hassow, as well as Jakusz working for Jan Melsztyński), and women – Małgorzata and Biesiatka – used pearls. Specialisation of four embroiderers is not well known (of two artists with the name Piotr as well as Zygmunt and Hannus Burghardt). It is also not known whether embroiderers belonged in a guild before the middle of the 15th century. In the second half of this century – as sources indicate – they acted within the guild of goldsmiths. Only in 1627, they established their own association.

The scale, depth, scientific thoroughness of the book of the scientist, who presented the censorship histories of N. V. Gogol’s works with numerous details, is noted. I. A. Vinogradov thoroughly refutes the ideologized approach in illuminating the issue of the relationship between the writer and the official censorship, reveals the complex and ambiguous relationship of Gogol with the censorship department, illustrates the specifics of the government’s literary policy, explains the importance of the personality of the censor in the process of working with a literary text. The monograph overcomes stereotypical ideas about the possibilities and boundaries of cooperation between the state and the individual, about the existence of an insurmountable barrier between the artist’s self-expression, his civic position and state policy. I. A. Vinogradov presents the topic of the relationship between the writer and censorship in a volumetric and multifaceted manner, asserting it as one of the most important areas of research in modern literary criticism.
