Abstracts

EN

Andrzej Gawroński (1885-1927), an eminent linguist and Orientalist was connected mainly with the Lviv University. He grew up in the atmosphere of an educated family home with numerous social connections in academic circles. During his university studies he remained in contact with the thriving circles of linguists and literature historians. When his own academic interests crystallized towards comparative grammar and Indology, he met Gustaw Blatt, Bogdan Dawidowicz and Jan Grzegorzewski, who inspired him to further pursue his interests in that field. After completing his postdoctoral thesis at the Jagiellonian University he returned to Lviv, where he took the chair in comparative linguistics and Sanskrit, forming a major centre of Oriental studies in Poland.
