Description:

Silesian Quarterly Historical Journal “Sobótka” [Śląski Kwartalnik Historyczny „Sobótka”] has been published in Wrocław since 1946 – initially as a semiannual periodical and a yearbook with the title “Sobótka”, and since 1957 quarterly, with the current title. It is among the oldest regional scholarly journals in the field of history in Poland and a significant element of Polish humanities. “Sobótka” is considered one of the most important periodicals concerning Silesian studies, but the editorial team remains open also to material from other thematic fields. The journal serves for presentation of research on history of Central and Eastern Europe, with a special focus on Silesia and neighboring regions and countries, as well as on regional history. For several years, its publisher was the Wrocław Society of History Enthusiasts [Wrocławskie Towarzystwo Miłośników Historii], i.e. the Branch of the Polish Historical Society [Polskie Towarzystwo Historyczne]; currently, the journal is published under the auspices of the University of Wrocław.

Abstract:

The article presents attitudes of the Polish noble Franciszek Rzewuski (ca. 1730–1800) towards the Bar Confederation (1768–1772), during which he resided abroad, as well as his conduct in the face of the First Partition of Poland. The paper is based on a collection of letters from Rzewuski to his mother, Franciszka née Cetner, kept in the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv.
