KAZIMIERZ THE RENEWER (1016 – 1058)
Casimir Charles I, more commonly known as the Restorer, ruled Poland from 1039 to 1058. He failed to take power after his father Mieszko II, was exiled, and the country descended into chaos. In 1039, the Restorer returned to the country and, with the help of the German Emperor and a Ruthenian prince, gradually regained power, rebuilt the country, recreated the ecclesiastical metropolis and made Krakow the new capital. However, he was no longer able to regain the royal crown.

Description

Edition in the form of a stylized scroll with a wax seal suspended on strings. It is printed on decorative paper, similar in texture and properties to the handmade papers used in the old days. An additional characteristic element of the publication are the jagged edges of the sheet, which are stylistically reminiscent of old incunabula affected by the tooth of time. As in all our wall publications, the paper is coated with a finishing matte laminate on both sides, which strengthens it and protects it from moisture and dust. In addition, this treatment makes the scroll more similar to the original parchment. The sheet is wound on wooden rollers topped with knobs with metal fittings. The whole is reminiscent of the scrolls of Roman scriptures or Jewish torah. Author’s binding by Pergamena Publishing House with decorative string for hanging.
