Laskowa: Dzieje wsi i gminy do 1989 roku
Synopsis
LASKOWA: THE HISTORY OF THE VILLAGE AND MUNICIPALITY UP TO 1989
The book is a collaborative monographic study on the history and art of the villages currently comprising the Laskowa municipality in southern Poland, nestled along the Łososina River in the Beskid Wyspowy range, between Bochnia and Nowy Sącz. The volume opens with an overview of the natural environment by Józef Żychowski, who, aside from engaging with the relevant literature, has also incorporated findings from his own fieldwork. The part devoted to history has above all a solid, source-based foundation. The authors have used a variety of sources, in view of the area’s diversity in terms of ownership. In the Old Polish period, only Laskowa and Wola Laskowska were the property of the nobility, whereas the remaining villages, Jaworzna, Kamionka Mała, Kobyłczyna, Krosna, Laskowa, Sechna, Strzeszyce, Ujanowice, and Żmiąca, were part of a vast estate belonging to the convent of the Order of Saint Clare in Stary Sącz, constituting merely a fraction of it. Jacek Laberschek’s comprehensive overview of the history of the villages in the Middle Ages draws especially on documents found in diplomatic codices and scarce manuscript sources. The primary source material regarding most villages is available in the enormous Słownik historyczno-geograficzny województwa krakowskiego w średniowieczu [Historical-Geographic Dictionary of the Kraków Voivodeship in the Middle Ages], co-edited by the late author of the chapter himself.
