Habsburg Lemberg
When Austria annexed Galicia during the first partition of Poland in 1772, the province's capital, Lemberg, was a decaying Baroque town. By the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Lemberg had become a booming city with a modern urban and, at the same time, distinctly Habsburg flavor. In the process of the "long" nineteenth century, both Lemberg's appearance and the use of public space changed remarkably. The city center was transformed into a showcase of modernity and a site of conflicting symbolic representations, while other areas were left decrepit, overcrowded, and neglected. Habsburg Lemberg: Architecture, Public Space, and Politics in the Galician Capital, 1772–1914 reveals that behind a variety of national and positivist historical narratives of Lemberg and of its architecture, there always existed a city that was labeled cosmopolitan yet provincial; and a Vienna, but still of the East. Buildings, streets, parks, and monuments became part and parcel of a complex set of culturally driven politics.
Trzy misje. Rokowania dyplomatyczne pomiędzy Rzeczypospolitą a Moskwą w latach 1613-1615
Celem niniejszej książki jest omówienie rokowań dyplomatycznych pomiędzy Rzeczpospolitą a Państwem Moskiewskim w latach 1613-1615. Data początkowa wiąże się w misją gońca moskiewskiego Denisa Oładina, który dotarł do Warszawy pod koniec kwietnia 1613 r. Datę końcową określa fiasko misji posłów Fiodora Żeliabuskiego i Semena Matczina wiosną 1615 r. Na monografie składają się cztery artykuły opublikowane osobno w latach 200-2004, które w zamierzeniu miały być jednak częścią większej monografii. Zostały one poprawione i uzupełnione. W sensie chronologicznym niniejsze opracowanie jest kontynuacją mojej książki pt. O Kreml i Smoleńszczyznę. Polityka Rzeczypospolitej wobec Moskwy w latach 1607-1612, po raz pierwszy opublikowanej w 1995 r. (wyd. 3, Toruń 2014 r.)

Byzantium after Byzantium
Although Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453, bringing an end to the Eastern Roman Empire which had survived its predecessor in the West by nearly one thousand years, this important book argues that Byzantium did not die, but continued to influence European history all the way up to the beginning of the nineteenth century. The author' s formula “ Byzantium after Byzantium” defines several centuries of world history. Iorga points out the great contributions of Byzantine civilization to the Western world, especially during the Renaissance. He demonstrates that Byzantium survived through its people and local autonomies, as well as through its exiles. They continued the Byzantine ideas, aspirations, education, and way of life. All of this allows us to speak of a Byzantium after Byzantium.
Reconsidering Constitutional Formation I National Sovereignty
This open access book can be downloaded from link.springer.com Legal studies and consequently legal history focus on constitutional documents, believing in a nominalist autonomy of constitutional semantics. Reconsidering Constitutional Formation in the late 18th and 19th century, kept historic constitutions from being simply log-books for political experts through a functional approach to the interdependencies between constitution and public discourse. Sovereignty had to be ‘believed’ by the subjects and the political élites. Such a communicative orientation of constitutional processes became palpable in the ‘religious’ affinities of the constitutional preambles. They were held as ...
