„Świętej Trojce Miłośnica”. Maryja a Trójca Święta w średniowiecznym piśmiennictwie polskim

Abstract

This article shows that the trinitary context of the Polish medieval mariology was very rich and differential. The marian prayers, hymns, sermons and apocryphs of the XV and XVI centuries emphasised the very close and deep relations between Mary and the Holy Trinity. Before the creation Mary was pre-elected and blessed in the „Counsil of Trinity” as the Mother of God. Her Immaculate Conception was executed of the Trinity will and the Annunciation was the great revelation of the trynitary mystery in Mary's life. Whole her life and activity were interpreted as a fulfilment of the divine project of salvation. The culminating point of Mary's close relationship with the Blessed Trinity was her Assumption and Coronation in heaven. Also old-Polish prayers and hymns included the trinitary context of the marian intercession. All these topics are illustrated by the exerptions from the Polish late medieval literature.
