Harasavych published a refutation in an appendix to the same journal and soon died — and Zubrzycki, who had counted on his notes, was forced to write it himself, having only his own collections and the assistance of Canon Hryhorii Yakhymovych (1792–1863), the future Galician Metropolitan. He divided the exposition into five periods: 988–1340, 1340–1596, 1596–1707, 1707–1772, and the period from the reconquista of Galicia and Lodomeria to the restoration of the Galician Metropolia; this first issue covers the first of them. The accompanying notes include charters, chronicles, and government acts — a charter of Vladyslav Jagiełło to the Moldavian ruler Oleksander, the ancient song “Gospodyne pomyluj ny” from the Prague Cathedral of St. Vitus, presented in Cyrillic and Latin scripts, — and polemics with Karamzin, Rakovetskyi, Dobrovskyi, and Shafarik’s “Slavic Antiquities,” recently published in Prague.

Victor Hugo (1802–1885) wrote “Mazeppa” in 1828 and included it in the collection “Les Orientales” (1829), taking as epigraph an exclamation from Byron’s poem—“Away!—Away!”—which the translator retained here as well. The first canto is the very gallop of the bound captive through steppes and forests; the second turns it into an allegory: so too inspiration carries the genius through torment and scorn until he rises as a master. The title “Ballad” was the translator’s choice: in Hugo, the poem is simply titled “Mazeppa.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWiktor z Baworowa (Victor Baworowski, 1826–1894) was a Galician count, bibliophile, and translator who signed his name “Wiktor z Baworowa.” He had large estates near Ternopol and lived in Myszkowice outside the city; he translated Villon, Byron, Schiller, and Hugo, and received an enthusiastic letter from Henryk Sienkiewicz for his translation of “Don Juan.” He assembled a library of almost 60,000 volumes and bequeathed it to Lviv: the Baworowski Library was opened to readers in 1900, and today its collections are almost entirely preserved in the Lviv National Scientific Library of Ukraine named after V. Stefanyk. On December 3, 1894, five years after the publication of this pamphlet, Baworowski took his own life in Lviv.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pamphlet was printed in Tarnopol at the Józef Pawłowski Printing House—in the city near which the translator lived and where separate editions of his translations of Byron and Mickiewicz had already appeared. Baworowski published most of his minor translations in Galician periodicals, so individual Tarnopol pamphlets are a rarer trace of his work. For a collector of Mazeppaiana, this is also a link in the chain Byron—Hugo—Liszt: it was Hugo’s poem that inspired Franz Liszt’s symphonic poem “Mazeppa.” Such thin provincial editions without covers rarely survived to our day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64589851787635,"sku":"SKU-00514","price":4300.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15528959345011.jpg?v=1793986571"},{"product_id":"yaroshynska-yevheniia-zapovit-lviv-1907","title":"Yaroshynska Yevheniia.

Dmytro Ilovayskyi continues from the death of Olgerd to the decline of the appanage system: Jagiełło and the beginning of the Polish-Lithuanian union, Vytautas, Švitrigaila and Casimir IV.

Here, the publisher's appeal is included, where it is stated directly that there are so few subscribers that they barely cover half the print run, and that further publication becomes impossible just when Kostomarov's \"Bohdan Khmelnytskyi\" needs to be printed.

Yefremov begins with a reproach: everyone speaks of Norwegian literature in Europe, but almost no one knows of the Norwegian national cause, and there is only one article about it in Ukrainian, published in Pravda in 1889. He then guides the reader through the common roots of the three Scandinavian peoples, through the displacement of the Danish language and the emergence of an independent Norwegian one, up to the elections to the Storting in August 1900. The sources cited in the footnotes—Elise Rekjau, Johan Scherr, Gradovsky, and the Brockhaus and Efron dictionary—show what materials had to be used to compile such a work in Russian-ruled Kyiv.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSerhii Yefremov (1876–1939) was a literary critic, literary historian and publicist, one of the leaders of the Kyiv publishing house Vik, a full member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, later an academician and vice-president of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. He was 26 years old when the brochure was published, and the Norwegian subject under his pen reads like a conversation about his own cause: a small nation, a foreign state language, the struggle for the right to speak one’s own. In 1930, Yefremov was sentenced during the trial of the Ukrainian Liberation Union; he died in captivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe little book belongs to the “Literary and Scientific Library” series of the Ukrainian-Ruthenian Publishing Union—a series published in Lviv between 1901 and 1917 under the editorship of Volodymyr Hnatiuk with the participation of Ivan Franko; in total, it included 117 titles in 162 issues. The Lviv publication of a Dnieper-Ukrainian author was a common way to circumvent the censorship of the Ems Ukase, which did not allow such works to be printed in Kyiv.

The engraved plate mentioned on the title page—the famous Brownian “scale of life”: two columns, “excitability” and “excitation,” each with 80 degrees, with “the fullest state and most perfect force of life” in the middle, and deviations in either direction leading through a tendency toward sthenic or asthenic diseases to death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Brown (1735–1788) was a Scottish physician, pupil and assistant to Cullen in Edinburgh, and later his irreconcilable opponent.

His system captivated Germany at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, and its most zealous promoter was the Bamberg professor Andreas Röschlaub (1768–1835), who developed his own theory of excitation based on it.

In the introduction, the author notes that among the non-Magyar peoples of the Crown of Saint Stephen, only the Hungarian Rusyns did not form their own self-defense force—a role that was taken up by the Galicians on this side of the Carpathians.
