An addresser and a recipient in Jan Piotrowski’s Journal of Stefan Batory’s campaign against Pskov
Keywords
Abstract
The work is dedicated to the traces of the author’s presence and the image of the recipient in Jan Piotrowski’s Journal of Stefan Batory’s campaign against Pskov. The author, a canon of Gniezno and the royal secretary, prepared, on behalf of the royal marshal, Andrzej Opaliński, reports on the progress of the expedition and at regular intervals he sent them to his principal, informing him of the progress of the struggle with the Muscovites. Piotrowski hides behind his relations and there is little to say about him on the base of what he wrote. He is a keen observer who collects information skilfully but rarely allows himself for private and personal remarks. The image of the recipient is revealed only indirectly, through what the author chooses and sends to the addressee. Andrzej Opaliński is a demanding master but he can be content with what his agent collects in Batory’s camp. He is interested not only in matters directly connected with the war, but also in the actions of the most important persons in the Republic of Poland (eg. Chancellor Jan Zamojski).
