Pochwała człowieka ludzkiego w „Kronice” Kadłubka. U samych początków myśli polskiej, u końca czasu

Abstrakt

Starting with the words that finish, or interrupt Master Wincenty’s Polish Chronicle, I interpret its historiographic content as characteristic of 12th century humanism, expression of love, of wisdom. The infallible condition of ethical arete may be found to be formulated in the last words of the Chronicle concerning humanity (affabilitas, humanitas) which consists in tolerant indulgence of others’ vices and modesty about one’s virtues.
