Journal Title: Biuletyn Biblioteki Jagiellońskiej - Year 2016, Vol 66, Issue
Abstract
The aim of this article is to sketch a portrait of Józef Muczkowski, who was a historian, a collector and also director of the Jagiellonian Library. It begins with a short account of the lives of Cyprian Walewski and Kazimierz Władysław Wójcicki and on their relations with Józef Muczkowski. It also presents Muczkowski’s manuscripts, which are part of Cyprian Walewski’s nineteenth-century collection of manuscripts held by the Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow. Among these manuscripts are five of Muczkowski’s handwritten letters, his autobiography with a list of publications, one letter written by Józef’s son Stephan Muczkowski and also Józef Muczkowski’s printed obituary notice. The author of the article has employed two methodologies, the first of which – being analytical and critical – shows the purpose and originality of the research, while the second – being historical – allows us to determine the accuracy and authenticity of the source itself.
