The Jagiellonian University wishes to mark the Sixth Centenary
Jubilee of its renewal with the issue of a series of Jubilee Volumes
for each of its Faculties and for the two separate institutions of
higher education, the Pontifical Academy of Theology and the Hugo
Kołłątaj University of Agriculture, Cracow, which were once
constituent parts of our academic community administratively but
which were later detached from us, acquiring the status of independent
bodies.
These Volumes present a specific summing up of what scholarship in
Poland and, in fact, world-wide, has achieved over the centuries, and
of what our Alma Mater has contributed to this legacy. We have
endeavoured to adopt an approach as humanity-oriented as possible by
following the story through the people who have built up the history
of learning and the history of our University. These biographies,
descriptions, and essays about the professors and fellows of the
Jagiellonian University of Cracow on the one hand portray a series
of tableaux of scholars, and on the other hand give an overview of
the advancement of learning in its particular disciplines made in Poland.
