Abstract

In the years 2016–2018, a three-volume work «Knight in war, travel and the accomodation» was published in Poland. The author of this trilogy is Jan Szymczak, Professor Emeritus at the University of Lodz (Poland). In the first two volumes, he discussed the armament and equipment of knights in medieval Poland from the 10th to the 16th century. In the first volume, the author deals with defensive weapons, in the second ― offensive. The author paid much attention to the issue of terminology related to weapons. He tries to explain the nomenclature that appears in the sources, to explain the origin of the names of weapons that appeared in Polish. In the discussed books, a lot of space is devoted to issues related to the production and prices of weapons. In the third volume, the author also deals with horses and riding gear. However, on the pages of the book we find not only information about the knight’s equipment, but also a lot of space is devoted to weapons used by citizens, peasants and mercenary soldiers. The reader will also find in this study a lot of information not only about Polish army, but also about armies of other countries of medieval Europe. On the pages of J. Szymczak’s works, we find not only the parameters of weapons and examples of their use in battles, but he also shows them as an important element of court and religious ceremonies. Although the work is dedicated to the Polish knighthood, in it there are references to ancient cultures or medieval European literature. The work contains a very rich bibliography, including handwritten and printed sources, as well as a very large selection of literature.

关于波兰骑士的武器装备
2016-2018年,波兰出版了三卷本的《战争中的骑士、旅行和住宿》。这三部曲的作者是波兰罗兹大学的名誉教授Jan Szymczak。在前两卷中,他讨论了从10世纪到16世纪中世纪波兰骑士的武器装备。在第一卷中,作者论述防御性武器,在第二卷中论述进攻性武器。作者十分注意与武器有关的术语问题。他试图解释资料中出现的命名法,解释波兰语中出现的武器名称的起源。在讨论的书中,大量的空间致力于与武器的生产和价格有关的问题。在第三卷中,作者还讨论了马和骑具。然而,在书中,我们不仅找到了骑士装备的信息,而且还用了大量的篇幅来描述公民、农民和雇佣兵使用的武器。读者还将在这本书中发现大量的信息,不仅关于波兰军队,而且关于中世纪欧洲其他国家的军队。在J. Szymczak的作品中,我们不仅发现了武器的参数和它们在战斗中使用的例子,而且他还将它们作为宫廷和宗教仪式的重要元素。虽然这幅作品是献给波兰骑士的,但它也提到了古代文化或中世纪的欧洲文学。这项工作包含了一个非常丰富的参考书目,包括手写和印刷的来源,以及一个非常大的文学选择。
