Pozycja Bericht über das wissenschaftliche Symposium: Der hl. Bruno von Querfurt. Ełk, den 25. 05. 2007.Guzewicz, Wojciech (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2007)Pozycja Kulturowy wymiar życia i misji św. Brunona. Zabytki i piśmiennictwoAbrosiewicz, Maciej (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2007)The article depicts review of the sources connected with Bruno of Querfurt (974- 1009) and some elements of cultural landscape of the Central Europe on the turn of Xth century. The area connected with life of bishop Bruno was called in that time bordering land between Russia and Yotvingans land. But Saint Bruno was also in Italy, Germany, Hungary, Pechenegs (semi-nomadic Turkie people living between the Danube and the Don rivers). The space of Bruno's activity was wide. Lithuanien research worker Tomas Baranauskas has draw chronology of sources about Saint Bruno of Querfurt activity between years 1009 and 1400 – before printing was invented. The first record from 1009 includes the information about martyrdom of St. Bruno and there is the first mention about the Lithuania. The second record from 1014 there is in the Thietmar Chronicle. The third record from 1020 there is in Chronicle from Tegernsee Abbey (or the Imperial Abbey of Tegernsee ) based on account of death of Bruno. The account was said by monk Wibert (Wipertus) who was the witness of martyrdom of St. Bruno and only he survived. The fourth record Petrus Damiani (Saint Peter Damian, also Pietro Damiani or Pier Damiani (1007-10072) from 1040 informs about the life of St. Romuald and includes the story about martyrdom of St. Bruno. This record is Wibert's version of martyrdom of St. Bruno with added elements. Duchy of Polan appeared on political scene of Europe on the turn of Xth century when the prince Mieszko decided Christianization of Polan's people. The information about another Western Slavs like Redars, Wielets or Baltic people who were pagans includes the old chronicles. Our knowledge about these people is not very reach. It is the forgotten world which represents their paganism beliefs. The life of St. Bruno is the part of their history.Pozycja Proces sądowy ks. bpa Ignacego Wysoczańskiego w 1958 r.Bielawny, Krzysztof (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2007)Pozycja Świętego Brunona życie i działalnośćMarkowski, Władysław (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2007)Saint Bruno lived 35 years. He was a missionary bishop. He received palium from pope St. Sylvester II with the power to consecrate bishops. He was born in Querfurt, finished famous cathedral school in Mahrburg and traveled as missionary from Aachen till Kiev, from Rome till Gniezno first capital of Poland. The foundation of his missionary vocation was to work only amongst pagans, so he was ready, right from the beginning of his mission, to lay down his own life for it. And it was exactly what happened on the 9th of March 1009 somewhere in the land of Prussia. Was he forgotten? In a way yes, because the oldest polish chronicles do not mention him. Why? because he was a German by birth? Or there was a return of paganism in Poland in the years 1034-1039? Or he was not canonized as splendidly as St. Adalbertus (Wojciech)? Also it is difficult to establish exact itinerary of life and work of St. Bruno. Especially in which place he was first and what he did there. But St. Bruno was always present in Polish and German medieval historiography. He is mentioned in the context of the universal plans of ceasar Otto III or the policy of Henry II or the missions amongst the Prussians. The opinions of the historians about Bruno are of one voice: S. Zakrzewski writes: “in the spiritual culture of Poland of King Boleslaus the Great Bruno takes the most prominent place”. Fr Ladislaus Nowak describes Bruno as: “shining bridge of efforts to find peace and friendship between Polish and German nations”. George Strzelczyk calls Bruno: ”true witness who loved Poland and Poles”. Zbigniew Mikolejko writes: ”Bruno was one of the most important persons in the beginning of Polish history”, and Zbigniew Gach gives this descriptions: “Bruno wanted to be like Christ in humility, goodness, labour and first of all in martyrdom. As missionary and writer he became a pillar of the Church in Poland in XI century”. As for me the journey on the steps of St. Bruno was an experience of seeing a great person, perhaps weak as human being but giant as Apostle in keeping the faith. Bruno marched with the Book of the Gospel not with the sword and great army but with the Cross of Jesus Christ. And today Bruno can be seen as an example of the process of “new evangelization”. And he asks each one of us today: “what are you able to offer from your life to God? What kind of testimony you give about God through your own life?”
