Abstracts

EN

The aim of the article is to present not so much the figure and scholarly activities of Stanisław Przyłęcki (1805–1866), but his interest in broadly defined book questions and ways of collecting books. Analysing the contents of two manuscripts by Przyłęcki, currently kept in the Ossoliński National Institute (no. 1838, 1861), the author focuses on his study entitled Bibliomania. The analysis makes it possible to conclude that it is not, in fact, an original work by Przyłęcki but a free translation of a fragment of Léopold-Auguste Constantin’s book Bibliothéconomie. Instructions sur l’arrangement, la conservation et l’administration des bibliothèques, published in Paris in 1839. The article also contains an edition of the translation with a commentary.
