TY - GEN A1 - Benyskiewicz, Krzysztof A2 - Skobelski, Robert (1968- ) - red. PB - Zielona Góra: Oficyna Wydawnicza Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego N2 - The article ?Malachi Kramski, commendarius of the church in Nowe Kramsko (turn of the 18th century)? describes pastoral and organizational activity of Malachi, a Cistercian from the Obra abbey, in the parish of Nowe Kramsko. Malachi was a professor of theology and one of the most outstanding Cistercian writers of 18th century Poland. Between 1697 and 1721, he served as a commendarius of the church in Nowe Kramsko. His activities in the parish were documented in the Chronicle of the Parish in Nowe Kramsko kept since the 17th century. N2 - In the context of the subject of this article, Chronicie`s records concerning the revenue and expenditure of the commendarius deserve particular attention. They were introduced on Malachit`s initiative in 1697. As the parish was not particularly rich, maintaining the church infrastructure, providing the temple with appropriate decor and paying for equipment and liturgical books posed a significant challenge. The annual ?Percepta? and ?Expensa? document the daily struggles of subsequent commendarii and monks in maintaining the church, hospital, parish and St Isidore?s chapel in a usable condition. N2 - Malachi was a pastor active in this field. The problem was that the parishioners could only afford emergency repairs. In the first year of Malachit`s ministry, a partial, temporary renovation of the roof and a damaged church wall was carried out. In the following years, the belfry and the chapel of St. Isidore were repaired. 1700 saw works unusual for Nowe Kramsko: painting of the Chanel`s interior. The painter was brought from Zbąszyń. N2 - Five years later the church roof was repaired again, and ornamental brick floor was laid. 1707`s repair of the organ turned out to be a great financial challenge. The organ builder from Babimost had to be paid partly in kind, and in instalments. No more works were carried out in the church until 1710-1711 and 1719. In 1719, during the repair of the belfry, a local-scale disaster happened - the great bell broke. The repairs, carried out in Poznań, cost 511 zlotys, a substantial amount for the parishioners. A special collection was announced to raise funds, which even involved the monastery in Obra. N2 - The bell was also paid for in instalments. The installation of the bell finished the period of Malachit`s building investments. The commendarius also took care of providing the church with works of religious art. During Malachit`s times, an altar was painted by an artist from Zielona Góra and a portrait of St. Isidore was commissioned. The most prestigious purchase, however, was a silver revetment for the painting of Virgin Mary. It was the largest expenditure in the history of the parish. The riza was funded by residents of both Kramskos and Wojnowo. N2 - Malachi has spent more than ten years in Nowe Kramsko and, despite many other duties, did well in the role of a commendarius. Despite the modest income of the parish, he was able to maintain the church?s infrastructure in a satisfactory conditio and to equip the church and chapel with interesting and unique works of art.
