The Conscientious Historian
While at a conference in Warsaw in 1991, Polish professor of History, Karol Baranowski, becomes embroiled in a series of events that force him to question everything he has ever known. From the moment he wakes up next to a dead prostitute, Baranowski's world is turned upside down and inside out. As he digs into the past to try to make the connection between the dead woman, a 1946 pogrom, the mysterious Jewish-American history student, Joanna, who he meets at the conference, two men both with prominent noses and an old man who speaks in riddles, nothing can prepare Baranowski for what he discovers, and nothing can prepare the reader for the dramatic twist at the end.

The Silver Library of Duke Albrecht of Prussia and his wife Anna Maria
The Silver Library ( Silber Bibliothek) of Albrecht, Duke of Prussia, and his wife Anna Maria is an absolutely unique collection of volumes bound in richly decorated precious metal. It was founded between the end of the 1540s and the beginning of the 1560s as a manifestation of the splendor of the ducal court and a deep reverence for the Word of God and Lutheran thought. Originally it consisted of twenty items mainly created in goldsmith workshops in Königsberg, Nuremberg and probably Münden. This monograph gives a historical overview of the Silver Library against the background of the ducal couple’s lives as well as the culture of the 16th-century Prussia. It also presents an analysis of the bindings as examples of the Renaissance and Mannerist art of goldsmithing.
The Reformation in Lithuania
The Reformation in Lithuania: Origins and Developments up to 1570 by Dainora Pociūtė explores the dynamics of the Reformation in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, focusing on its early evolution and highlighting its autonomous character and the impact of Italian Protestantism. Abraomas Kulvietis, an alumnus of the university of Siena, was among the first to call for Church reforms in Vilnius. The tradition of Lithuanian printing, initiated by reformers who were forced to flee to Lutheran Prussia, was one of the early results of the movement. The progress of the Reformation accelerated rapidly from the 1550s when Mikalojus Radvila the Black, the most powerful magnate in Lithuania, announced his break with Rome and established an autonomous Evangelical Church in Lithuania. It matured by interweaving not only Lutheran and Swiss doctrines but also Antitrinitarianism and Anabaptism. This led to a gradual schism between radical communities and sympathizers of magisterial Protestantism during the 1560s.

Superekslibris polski. Studium o kulturze bibliofilskiej i sztuce od średniowiecza do połowy XVII wieku
Niniejsza książka stanowi pierwszą w rodzimej literaturze bibliologicznej i historyczno-artystycznej monografię superekslibrisu na ziemiach Korony oraz Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego od średniowiecza po potop szwedzki. Ową charakterystyczną kategorię znaku własnościowego książek osadzono na tle kultury bibliofilskiej oraz sztuki w Polsce i Europie, z naciskiem położonym na takie zagadnienia jak przemiany w postawie bibliofilów wobec oznaczania ksiąg, ewolucja formalno-stylowa superekslibrisów czy też ich powiązania z różnorakimi dziedzinami plastyki i rzemiosła artystycznego. W rezultacie Czytelnik otrzymał kompleksową analizę jednego z kluczowych problemów staropolskiej kultury książki w okresie jej bujnego – i nigdy niepowtórzonego – rozkwitu.
