BOLESŁAW CHROBRY (967 – 1025)

The son of Mieszko I, the first crowned king of Poland. He was an ally of Emperor Otto III, whom he hosted in Gniezno in 1000. He waged victorious wars over Milsko and Lusatia. He organised missionary expeditions to Kyiv. He installed his son-in-law, Svyatopolk, on the throne of Kyiv, and recaptured the Chernivian lands previously occupied by Prince Vladimir of Kyiv, incorporating them into his own state. Historians are increasingly adding the word ‘Great’ to his name.

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.
