Traktat o ogrodach Tomasza Antoniego Zamoyskiego
191
Tomasz Antoni Zamoyski nie był pierwszym polskim arystokratą, który sięgnął po ołó-
wek i pióro, aby kreślić kompozycje ogrodowe i plany budowli. Czynił to np. na początku
XVIII stulecia jego krewniak Stanisław Dzieduszycki, koniuszy koronny, zakładając wspa-
niały ogród w Cucułowcach koło Lwowa i zyskując sobie u współczesnych przydomek
Hortensjusza Polskiego21. Zamoyski jednak lepiej od niego rysował.

A Treatise on the Garclens of Tomasz Antoni Zamoyski
from ca. 1750
In the National Library in Warsaw under the catalogue
number BOZ 1731 there is a book titled Ogrodnictwo
(‘Gardening’) originating from the collections of the
Zamoyski family. In this book of format 46.0 by 32.5
cm and 230 numbered pages, there are barely 30 pages
of text, prints and diagrams. This is a work that was
barely begun and written in the Polish language. In-
cluded in the foreword is a Latin notę: Ex Bibliotheca
111° et Mci Thomae Anteny in Zamoście Ordinati
Zamoyski, Palatini Lublinensis (p. 5).
Tomasz Antoni Zamoyski (born 13.05.1707, de-
ceased 31.10.1751) administered the ordination of
his family estate (primogeniture) from 1735. He was
one of the most interesting characters among the
Polish aristocrats of the first half of the 18th century.
He received a conscientious education both in the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and abroad and for
four years travelled around Europę. In Prague he took
private lessons in civil and military architecture.
Under the influence of contacts with France and be-
coming acquainted with the enlightened rule of
Stanisław Leszczyński, he shaped his intellect close
to the rationalism of early Enlightenment. He amassed
a magnificent collection of books, largely in the
French language, numerous albums and treatises on
architecture and gardens. He had academic interests,
collected manuscripts and was a bibliophile. As the
seventh lord of the manor, he reorganised the run-
ning, manor and army of his estate and reformed the
Zamoyski Academy.
At Klemensów near Zamość he had a magnifi-
cent summer pałace built (1744-6) and one of the
largest gardens, covering an area of around 20 hec-
tares, in Poland laid out. Unfortunately, no plan of
the Baroąue garden, subsequently enlarged and trans-
formed into a park in the English style, has been pre-
served. He also owned a number of smaller gardens
in his estates and employed on a permanent basis a
number of gardeners. The lord of the manor’s brother,
Jan Jakub Zamoyski, had his own garden laid out,
although this was a much morę modest Baroque con-
ception, also unpreserved, with a clearly defined geo-
metrie arrangement at his newly raised pałace at
Łabunie near Zamość.
The composition of the treatise titled Ogrodnictwo
is not elear; being the work of a dilettante, it is hard to
find any logical concept behind it. The text, compris-
ing the foreword and three chapters, including some-
what haphazardly set out illustrations, covers 18 pages.
In his foreword {Przedmowa), the author resorts to
21 J. KOWALCZYK, Polski Hortensjusz w Cucułowcach. [W:] Necessitas et ars. Studia staropolskie dedykowane Pro-
fesorowi Januszowi Pelcowi. T. 2, Warszawa 1993, s. 153-163.
