| Summary: | The goal of the research. The author plans to research the collection of books written in Polish that were in the library of the Chernihiv college (to find out the types of diversity, thematic palette, etc.). By comparing the library catalogue of the Chernihiv college, compiled in the early 1820s, with the contemporary catalogues of the Kharkiv and Pereyaslav colleges, weplan to identify common features inherent in these masses of Polish-language books. Methodology. The methodological principles of such modern directions of historical science as intellectual and cultural history, as well as comparative studies, are the basis. Focusing attention on Polish-language books in the library of one of the colleges becomes an example of “casestudies”, when the broader cultural context is characterized through the prism of a specific phenomenon. Scientific novelty. The establishment of qualitative parameters of the complex of Polish-language books of the library of the Chernihiv college, which is carried out for the first time, affects further research and interpretation of the manifestations of cultural diffusion and the dialogue of Polish and Ukrainian cultures on Ukrainian lands in the 18th -early 19th centuries. The study of these books allows us to draw conclusions not only about the educational functions of the collegiate library, but to consider it as an important indicator of Ukrainian-Polish interaction. Conclusions. The study of books in the Polish language, which were contained in the library of the Chernihiv college, testifies to the preservation of Polish influences on the cultural space of the Hetmanate during the 18th - early 19th centuries. The repertoire of Polish-language books demonstrates that the college was an important channel of dialogue between Ukrainian and Polish cultures. The Chernihiv college and the intellectuals associated with them were part of the European book culture, spreading it in the east of Europe. The catalogue of the college library shows a wide range of modern scientific and educational literature in the Polish language from various fields of knowledge, including theological topics. This allows us to talk about encyclopedism as a common feature of collegiate libraries. |
