The paper is a description of an anonymous manuscript, treasured in The Kórnik Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the content of the said manuscript refers to the paper published October 16th, 1845, of an article Les religieuses basiliennes de Minsk (The Basilian Monks of Minsk) in the French “L’Ami de religion et du Roi” (“A Friend of Religion and the King”) that relates the course of the supposed persecutions of a Basilian abyss, Makryna Mieczysławska, by the apostate bishop Józef Siemaszko. Tracing the circumstances of Mieczysławska’s “Poznań case,” the authors prove that the manuscript is not the only evidence that links the Kórnik manour of the Działyński family with the issue of the alleged abyss of the Minsk Basilians. Additionally, contrasting the manuscript in question with other handwritten and press sources allows the authors to indicate the field of further research in the political confabulation story of Makryna Mieczysławska. |
