Stanisław Zakrzewski (1873-1936) i jego uczniowie

In 1907, Stanisław Zakrzewski (1873-1936), one of the most outstanding Polish historians of the interwar period, created a seminar on Polish history at the University of Lwów which prepared students for further research on the history of the Polish state of the Piast and Jagiellonian times. During the time the seminar was active (1907-1936), forty participants took up systematic scientific research. The students adopted their mentor’s approach to research and presented similar views on particular historical phenomena. They were also connected with Zakrzewski by a unique emotional bond, which lasted not only during their studies and preparation of doctoral dissertations, but even after they had reached scientific maturity.
