- Opis:
- In 2012 in the Library of Major Seminary in Włocławek a volume was discovered with two Wittenberg’s protestant prints (1557 and 1560) in a characteristic binding made from yellow leather with Mikołaj Koryciński’s superexlibris on it (1548‑1615). On the inner side of the upper cover there is a Latin inscription from 1560, made probably by Philip Melanchton or another, anonymous Philip (maybe student of Wittenberg’s Leucorea?). In the article a hypothetical history of contacts between Melanchton and a Polish nobleman, during his studying in Wittenberg since 1559 is reproduced. First the biography of Koryciński is reconstructed, next close relations between the famous German reformer and Polish nobility are described. Their important feature was Wittenberg’s professor’s affection for students from Poland and other Slavic countries. Perhaps Melanchton gave the book to Koryciński or enrolled himself in the book, which Koryciński had owned before, because he strived to win over younger nobleman’s son to himself and Lutheran religion. Furthermore, he could have also strived to spread information about particular contacts, which connected him with Gorka family from Poznań: in one of the prints Melanchton’s dedication to Stanisław Gorka is placed. The analysis of the binding of the book, which belonged to the Polish student proves that it is work of a Wittenberg’s bookbinder Caspar Kraft‑senior, working since 1563. It has got numerous, typical features of book bindings of the so‑called „Wittenberger Stil”. Probably in the same workshop Koryciński ordered the superexlibris, which clearly differed from other Polish superexlibrises originating from the same period. As a result of that, the book is a hypothetical vestige of attention which Melanchton showed to the Polish student, but also a proof of Koryciński’s interrest for new religious ideas. Finally, the characteristic shape of the book binding and superexlibris indicate that Koryciński provided himself with books from the city in which he was living, and he ordered their bindings and the ownership mark there.
