| Abstract | The session aims to present and discuss the image of the Holy Roman Empire (Germany) and its people among Polish writers and (vice versa) of Poland and its people among German writers in the Middle Ages (10th-15th century). The modern and general view of the notion of 'neighbour' (from Germany to Poland and the other way around) has been strongly influenced by the (often negative) common history of the two countries in the 19th/20th century. But what did the medieval authors really think of their neighbour and in which contexts did they write about them? |
