Sarmatism - Opis:
- The work by Piotr Hiacynt Pruszcz, Forteca duchowna (The Spiritual Fortress) published in 1662 perfectly well fits the 17th century current of hagiographic literature. The religious revival started by the Council of Trent (1545-1563) undoubtedly influenced development of that particular literary genre. It was connected with enlivening the cult of the saints, especially local and national ones, and it was an attempt to adjust the saints to the needs of the universal Church. The Spiritual Fortress is a work that fully responds to the needs of the society of that time. Despite the fact that lots of lives and catalogues of saints were written at that time, Pruszcz's work distinguishes itself from other Polish works describing the lives of the saints by the fact that it is devoted only to Polish saints or ones who were closely connected with Poland. It was the first catalogue of Polish saints that was so comprehensive. It was Pruszcz's intention to show Poland as the fatherland of saints, as an exceptional place, chosen by God. At the same time the title of the work suggests that Poland had a mission as antemurale of Christianity, the foundation supporting the Church and Europe. Hence The Fortress is a result and an expression of the Sarmatian ideology, and at the same time an attempt to adjust to the tasks set by the post-Trent Church to hagiography. Pruszcz's catalogue is a continuation of the literary genre that existed from the beginning of Christianity; it fulfills the same functions that hagiography had from its beginning. The Spiritual Fortress is still an attempt to record particular people's sanctity, and at the same time it is a work that supplies the reader with very clear and definite ways to carry sanctity into effect and with models to be imitated.
