Abstract

NOT ONLY BULLA GNIEŹNIEŃSKA: ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ZBYLUT’S FOUNDATION DOCUMENT (ISSUED IN 1153) FOR POLISH HISTORICAL AND LINGUISTIC RESEARCH: PART 2: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VERSIONS OF THE DOCUMENT This article is the second part of a series. The purpose of the first part was to introduce the Zbylut’s document (its original and copies) into the Polish historical-linguistic research, to verify and supplement the existing transliterations, to show the document as an object of studies, and to select historical information that may prove to be important from the historical-linguistic perspective. The foundation document issued in 1153 by knight Zbylut for the Cistercians in Łekno, called the Zbylut’s document, may be of value to historians of language for at least three reasons: first, it contains onomastic material from the mid-12th century; second, it is available in several versions (including two parallel originals from the mid-12th century and one copy from the end of the same century), which are fully legible and perfectly preserved; and third, it has been carefully studied by a few generations of historians. The results of their research constitute an invaluable and basic context for linguistic analyses. However, the issue of the number of writing hands and the relationship between different versions of the document, which is very important for linguistic research, could not be resolved unequivocally. Until now, it has usually been assumed that the three documents were written by two or three different hands.
