Badanie rękopisów średniowiecznych według Łukasza Gołębiowskiego

Thanks to the discovery made by Jacek Puchalski and Elżbieta Maruszak, both working at the University of Warsaw, Polish academia was presented in 2016 with “Kurs bibliografii” by Łukasz Gołębiowski (1779–1849), a Polish librarian and scientist. In his book, Gołębiowski included his advice on scientific descriptions of medieval manuscripts. The article analyses the educational aspects of the manuscriptological advice included in the book, as well as his proposed method of describing medieval manuscripts. Gołębiowski also made excerpts from the medieval manuscripts stored in the Public Library of the University of Warsaw, which do not exist anymore. Those excerpts are published in the form of annexes with a scientific commentary.
