The world of things : considerations on the standard of living and the meaning of movable property in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth– eds. Bożena Popiołek, Urszula Kicińska, Anna Penkała-Jastrzębska, Kraków 2022 [Publisher: Libron]

About the book: „Remarks related to the standard of living and the broadly understood everyday life are issues which, despite the fact that they have already been addressed in many excellent studies, still deserve further analysis, which, however, is not simple, as it requires the use of interdisciplinary research methods, as well as making a lot of effort to find and develop, often nonobvious source material. […] It has been important for the editors of this volume […] to have an interdisciplinary approach to the issues related to the way of life and everyday functioning of people in the old centuries; and the interpretations, opinions, comments and observations indicated in individual articles shall be used as tools useful in comparative research, which will allow us to look at this problem from the historical, mental and anthropological point of view”
