Abstract
Studying of book collections from the library stacks is one of the important problems of library studies. However there are no special works studying provenance on the books from a “dispersed” book collection of Polish slavist, ethnographer, traveller and bibliophile Andrzej Franciszek Kucharski (1795-1862), which is kept in the stacks of the Scientific Library of the Odessa I. I. Mechnikov National University for 150 years. The article characterizes a corpus of provenance on books from A. Kucharski’s collection. Gathering his unique library Polish slavist didn’t ignore book collections of his compatriots, this fact is apparently showed by various possessory inscriptions on his copies of editions. The author pays a great attention to attribution of owners of the provenance. Among them are an advocate, writer and theologian Jozef Hube, a Napoleonic army officer, engineer and architect Lukasz Rodakiewicz, an architect and geometrician Stanislaw Mikoszewski as well as a lawyer, pedagogue and philologist Kazimierz Chrominski. The article contains data on a structure of book collections, resources of their increasing and further fate. It should be accentuate that a book from Mikoszewskis collection is stored in the Scientific Library although it has been considered until recently that their collection has remained only in Kyiv. The author used historical, bibliographical and systematic methods for accumulation of facts, its systematization and theoretical processing. Finding results enlarge knowledge about scientific interests of bibliophile (studying and comparative grammar of Slavic languages) and give an idea of a history of gathering of the private library which was enriched with gifts and purchases by owner for over than 40 years. As a result of studying of possessor inscriptions (a main part of which only denotes the fact of belonging of the copy) previous owners’ personalities were attributed. The article is interested for historians, philologists, bibliographers and bibliophiles.
