EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Brzesc Bible, also known as the Radziwill or Pinczow Bible. It represents a significant milestone in Polish history as it marks the first translation of the Holy Scriptures into Polish by the Calvinist community. Completed in 1563, this remarkable achievement was made possible through the generous funding of Prince Mikolaj Krzysztof Radziwill the Black. The Brzesc Bible derives its name from the town where it was published on 4th September 1563. Its publication not only symbolizes a major breakthrough for Christianity in Poland but also highlights an important moment for religious tolerance during that era. The Calvinist community's dedication to making God's word accessible to all is evident in this monumental translation project. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of how faith and determination can overcome barriers and bring about positive change. The intricate details of each page reflect countless hours spent meticulously translating and transcribing these sacred texts into Polish. This image serves as a powerful reminder of our shared cultural heritage and reminds us to appreciate those who have dedicated their lives to spreading knowledge and understanding through religious scriptures. Let us honor both Prince Mikolaj Krzysztof Radziwill the Black's generosity and the Calvinist community's unwavering commitment to their beliefs, which culminated in this extraordinary accomplishment over four centuries ago.
