Józef Feldman (1899-1946) came from the Jewish family. He studied history at Jagiellonian University. At the same university he was awarded a doctor's degree and habilitated in the field of contemporary history. However, his academical career was very complicated, because he was discriminated by part of the students and professors due to his ancestry. After many defeats and disappointments in 1937 he was appointed professor at the Contemporary History Department. His fruitful scientific and didactic activity was interrupted by the outbreak of WW II. All the Nazi occupation Feldman had to hide himself from the Germans. Nevertheless, he took part in secret tuition and wrote articles to the underground press. After the WW II he resumed lecturing at the Jagiellonian University and also engaged himself in political activity within the oppositional Polish Peasant Party. Unfortunately, excessive duties and arduous heart disease hastened Feldman's death.

The paper describes the turbulent relationships between the outstanding but eccentric philosopher Wincenty Lutoslawski and the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Lutoslawski had submitted several applications for the Chair of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University since 1890, but for these were repeatedly turned down. It was only ten years later that he was granted the post of Privat-Dozent (assistant professor) at the Chair. Soon, however, his lectures began to arouse a great deal of controversy: Lutoslawski failed to follow the previously submitted topics, he dressed and behaved in a strange way. In 1900 Lutoslawski was diagnosed as suffering from psychosis, which led to his suspension by the Faculty Council. The philosopher made renewed attempts to appeal from the decision by sending letters to the rector of the university and the dean, but that only aggravated the conflict. Lutoslawski returned to the Jagiellonian University only after the Second World War, and it was also then that he became an active member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (Polska Akademia Umiejetnosci). A major role in the above-mentioned conflict was played, on the one hand, by the professor's impetuosity, and, on the other, by the lingering resentfulness of the academic circles in Cracow. The current paper argues for a revision of a widespread and long-standing view accusing the University and the Academy of expelling Lutoslawski for political reasons. While Lutoslawski did hold and disseminate nationalist views which could pose a threat to either of the two institutions in a situation when Cracow was under Austrian rule, they faced the much more delicate problem of a breach in professorial authority, to which Lutoslawski had contributed by his behaviour. In those circumstances, the authorities of both the University and the Academy had almost no choice but to take radical measures.

Feliks Koneczny's (1862-1949) ideas in history and philosophy of history are well-known in today's world. Yet there hasn't been even one thorough biography of that outstanding scholar based on an in-depth archival query.The author's research provided the answer to the hitherto unexplained, mysteries concerning Feliks Koneczny. After graduating from the Faculty of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow he began to work as an office senior lecturer at the Academy of Arts and Sciences; since 1897, he worked at the Jagiellonian Library. In 1919 he became an assistant professor and in 1920 a professor of the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. His interests moved from purely historical research to the philosophy of history, religion and philosophy. His pioneering works dealing with the history of Russia as well as his theory the evolution of civilizations are among his greatest achievements. Anton Hilckman, Arnold Toynbee and Samuel Huntington widely draw upon Koneczny's works and achievements. His written scholarly output encompassed 26 volumes, each of them being 300 to 400 pages long, not to mention more than 300 articles, brochures and reprints. In fact not many Polish historians can prode themselves on such an enormous scope of research, which included anthropology, sociology, philosophy, theology, ethnology, psychology, economics, history and law. This list, impressive as it may be, fails to do justice to the moral and personal dimension of his work. This loner by choice was the creator of Polish philosophy of history, a major Catholic thinker, a university professor and humanist in the most significant sense of the word.

A subject matter of the present edition is correspondence of Polish philologist and philosopher - Marian Zdziechowski and Czech poet and Slavophil - Adolf Cerny. The published letters in a very significant way enrich knowledge of connexions and mutual relationships that were held by Czech and Polish intellectuals on the turn of the 19th century. Among others, they reveal Zdziechowski's attitude towards Slavophilism, Pan-Slavism and Bolshevism. The letters of Zdziechowski that lately have been recovered, are kept among posthumous works of Cerny in Record Office belonging to the Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic in Praha whereas few preserved answers of Cerny are located in the Library of the University of Vilnius.
