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.
