The Myth of "Antemurale Christianitatis" and the Image of Europe.

“基督教前女”的神话在塑造波兰人的自我形象以及他们眼中的亚洲“东方”形象方面发挥了重要作用。我一直在追溯它的过程，不仅通过研究迄今为止大多数关于这个主题的科学文献，而且还分析了原始文本。到目前为止，这项研究已经成功地涵盖了从莱格尼卡战役到巴托里征服波洛克和普斯科夫的历史。结果附在文章的标题下：“前女作家的话语和对科哈诺夫斯基的修辞学”。巴洛克时期的材料非常丰富，将在下一篇论文中讨论。我发表了另一篇论文，题为“继续写波兰语文学的‘民族’”（岩上Koza文学，t.13，东京2003）。并随函附上。

The myth of "Antemurale Christianitatis" had played a significant role in shaping Poles' self image as well as images of Asia, "The East" in their eyes. I have been tracing back its process not only through examining most of the hitherto existing scientific literature on the topic, but also analyzing the original texts. So far the research has successfully covered the history from the Battle of Legnica up to Batory's conquest of Polock and Pskow. The result is hereto attached as an article under the title: "The discourse of antemurale and the rhetoric-up to Kochanowski". The baroque period is so abundant in material that it would be treated in the next paper. I published another paper entitled "The ‘Nation', who continues writing the Polish language literature" (Iwanami Koza Bungaku, t.13, Tokyo 2003). It is also attached herewith.
