In late fifteenth century, the St. Elizabeth’s school in Wrocław was already a key centre of Silesian humanism, i.a., thanks to Laurentius Corvinus and other alumni of the Cracow Academy. The subsequent generations of teaching staff of this institution studied in Wittenberg, i.a., at Philip Melanchthon’s, who strongly influenced Wrocław’s intellectual elite. The Reformation, introduced to the town’s churches, was accompanied by an educational reform, which allowed, during Andreas Winkler’s rectorate, in 1562, for the school to be granted the status of gymnasium. Humanist ideals guided the consecutive rectors of the Elisabetanum, i.a., Elias Maior (1631–1669), who significantly developed the tradition of theatrical spectacles staged there. Elias Maior’s literary and educational oeuvre has an interesting interpretative background in his preserved Schreibkalenders, which Wrocław humanist filled with notes over several years of his rectorate. These notes constitute a un usually rich source, documenting the everyday life of the Elizabethan gymna sium’s rector, lived both in publicis: at school, in the parish church and at the town’s hall, and privatim: at friends’ homes, gardens and taverns. Repeated references to music deserve special attention. It was performed on every above-mentioned occasion. The picture emerging from the notes reveals a unique description of musical life of the metropolis on the Oder, by an educated poeta lauretaus from Wrocław. Tomasz Jeż studied musicology in Warsaw, Göttingen and Berlin. Having received his PhD (2002), he was employed as assistant professor at the Institute of Musicology, University of Warsaw. For the 2007/2008 academic year he received the postdoc scholarship of the Foundation for Polish Science at Rome. He is the author of three books and over sixty studies and articles on heuristic and spiritual contexts of the music culture. His scholarly interest focuses on the music culture of Silesia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the sixteenth–eighteenth centuries.
