In the times when societies are marked by certain voluntarism, it is vital to remember a man who may be perceived as opposing such a point of view. Thanks to Marian Biskup’s attitude to work, which resembled the work of Cistercians, this talented historian managed to prepare monumental source editions referring particularly to the Teutonic Order and the development of early modern social structures in Prussia, which led to creating the fundaments for the work of whole generations of historians. All his life, even in his old age, he was keen on learning and ready to cooperate with his colleagues irrespective of their nationality despite the complicated political situation. It must be emphasized especially in the case of the man who in his youth experienced the atrocities of WWII and the after-war period.
