Potkowski discusses the political ambitions of Duke Mieszko I and his descendants with regard to the introduction of early writing and reading in Poland; A. Kamler analyses the attitude of the Jagiellonian dynasty in the 1500s towards books and education; and D. Jarosz traces the changing approach of the communists towards book production and the promotion of readership in their attempts to persuade Polish society to accept their ideology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Edward Potkowski: The Book in the World of Politics: Early Literary Culture in Poland, 10th–12th Century – Jacek Soszyński: Papal Plenitude of Power and World History: Papal Political Ideology in the Chronicle of Martin the Pole – Krzysztof Ożóg: The Concept «rex illiteratus quasi asinus coronatus» in Late Medieval Cracovian Writings – Anna Kamler: The Jagiellons vis-a-vis the Book and the Education of the Nobility – Jan Dzięgielewski: The Polish Sejm Debating over a Work of History: The Case of ‘De bello Moschovitico’ by Reinhold Heidenstein, in 1587 – Dariusz Kuźmina: The Jesuits as a Monastic Community Supportive of Secular Power in Reinforcing Catholicism in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 16th–17th Century – Jarosław Kurkowski: Historiography as an Instrument of Politics in the 18th Century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth – Katarzyna Seroka: The Polish Library in Paris, 1838–1893 – Iwona H.
