HARD BINDING OF THE AGE HOMOGENEOUS PARCHMENT WITH CONVEX RELATIONS AND COLORED SIGNALS, RED CARDS OF COLORED CARDS

Collection of the writings of the Polish Brothers. The series "Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum" is a monumental publication, which included the achievements of Polish Arians, which in 1674 was included in the index of forbidden books. The series had a significant impact on Western progressive thinkers, including John and Locke and Baruch Spinoza.

"POLISH BROTHERS, are also called Socinians, Arians, Christians or Unitarians (less often Rakowians - after the Raków Congress, or contemptuously divers - from the form of baptism). The first name seems to be the most correct, as it comes from themselves. Socynians were called after Faust Socin, as supporters of his views. They were named Aryans by Catholics and other Protestants as supporters of one of the first anti-trinitarians - Bishop Arius. It is the most radical and, at the same time, the most progressive faction among Protestants.

Undoubtedly, they made a very positive mark on Polish cultural and religious history. Polish Brethren distinguished themselves in the years 1562-1565 as the so-called a smaller church from the Evangelical Reformed (Calvinist) Church. The reason for this step was the increasing domination of rich nobility and magnates within the Calvinist Church (in 1560 plebeians were removed to influence the management of the church). In the past, their teachings spread mainly among the petty nobility in Podkarpacie, Kujawy, Podlasie, and especially in Lithuania. They were also exterminated by both Catholics and Calvinists. Their plight was additionally aggravated by the fact that there were also constant disputes in their womb. As a result, they were unable to gain wider recognition and a permanent place among Polish denominations (for example, they were not admitted to the Toruń Agreement of 1645). The first, most difficult period of forming the views of the Polish Brethren ended with the arrival of Faust Socyn to Poland, which contributed to the unification of their teaching. So far, it has been "experimented" both dogmatically, socially and philosophically. The unified movement of the Polish Brethren was henceforth more often called (Polish) socialism or unitarianism (the most important source of faith was to remain the Holy Scriptures, which, however, are framed by reason, the deity of Jesus was finally rejected). Socynianism largely contributed to the rationalization of religion and to the final crystallization of deism (especially Crell). As L. Szczucki, a great expert on the achievements of the Polish Brothers, wrote, "the leading trait of the Socynian doctrine is the minimization of the doctrine (...), its humanization." They are close to me due to a certain thread of skepticism that characterizes their religion. As the Encyclopedia PWN 2000 informs about the Polish Brothers: "they played an outstanding role in theological disputes of the 16th-17th centuries, the development of education, as well as Polish science and literature". in Pińczów, Lubartów, Lublin and in Raków (Akademia Rakowska, attended also by children from Catholic networks, due to the high level of education and complete tolerance for other faiths). The achievements in the field of literature include numerous translations of the Bible, catechisms, religious poems and songs, and theological and polemical works. Piotr Statorius-Stojeński, who created the first Polish grammar, and Jan Mączyński, author of an excellent Latin-Polish dictionary, shone in the scientific field.

Rare works, especially due to the fact that the books were included in the Index of Forbidden Books in 1674.
For example, the works of Jan Crell were publicly burned at the stake!

VERY GOOD CONDITION / not counting a few of the above shortcomings / EFFECTIVE SET!
