EN
Jan Kanty Rzesiński was a nineteenth-century Polish scholar from Kraków. He never became a famous Romanist. Nevertheless, his contribution to the development of Polish studies on Gaius and his Commentaries is important. Rzesiński was the very first Polish scholar who presented the discovery of Gaius’ Commentaries to Polish society. In the academic year 1831–1832 Rzesiński lectured on Gaius at the Jagiellonian University. The lectures soon ceased, nevertheless, it was the first academic attempt to talk about Niebuhr’s discovery. In 1838 Rzesiński published a Polish translation of Gans’s Scholien zum Gajus. The translation attracted much interest among Polish legal scholars and was broadly commented on. In the latter part of the century, it became a standard point of reference for the next generation of Romanist, including Teodor Dydyński.
