This paper summaries the results of research work conducted at Collegium Maius and Block 27. Owing to research the evolution in the spatial layout and architecture of the entire construction block (No. 27) where these buildings are located was identified. The area was ultimately formed in the year 1300, which was connected with the construction of city walls and final delineation of city borders. From 1400 until around the mid-16th century, Collegium Maius was built in the north-eastern part of the block, while in the second half of the 15th century the brick Collegium Minus was built in the south-western part of the block; next to it a wooden German Dormitory was constructed. Until 1469 the entire western area of the block or at least the larger part thereof was owned by the Jewish Community, including the property at today’s 10 Św. Anny Street, probably along with some houses in Gołębia Street at that time. There were two synagogues – the Old and the New – in the area in that period. After a fire in 1462, in 1469 Jan Długosz purchased the properties and transferred them to the Cracow Academy. For a long time the area was occupied by private houses, as the Academy leased or sold these properties. In 1643 in the north-western part of the block building of the Academy high school – New Classes (12 Św. Anny Street) were constructed. The south-western part of the block was finally taken over by the Academy in the second half of the 17th century; deteriorated houses were demolished and the property incorporated into the Academy garden. Around the mid-19th century, the western wing was added to the building complex of the Classes, overlooking the Planty Park; in 1911 the Witkowski College was built in the south-western part of the block.

Celem niniejszego tekstu było prześledzenie różnych form upamiętnienia dzieła św. Jadwigi Andegaweńskiej w Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim. W tym celu przykłady zostały podzielone na grupy tematyczne obejmujące: pamięć materialną – zabytki materialne, epigrafika, płyty pamiątkowe; pamięć niematerialną – przypominanie dzieła św. Jadwigi w czasie jubileuszy uczelni oraz fakt patronowania różnym działaniom współcześnie realizowanym w Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim. Jako pierwsze omówiono przykłady związane z pamięcią materialną w tym szczególnie artefakty znajdujące się w Collegium Maius oraz Collegium Novum. Zasygnalizowano dzieje programów heraldycznych pojawiających się w powyższych budynkach, przedstawiając dyskusję dotyczącą herbów umieszczonych na fasadzie Collegium Novum, jak również dzieła malarskie ukazujące dokonania św. Jadwigi. Omówione zostały także dzieje tablic pamiątkowych wmurowanych w gmach Collegium Novum, w których pojawia się postać św. Jadwigi.

The aim of the article is to follow through various forms of memorialization of St. Jadwiga of Poland in the Jagiellonian University. For this aim following thematic groups were created: material remembrance – material monuments, epigraphy, commemorative plaques; non-material remembrance – recollection of her work during University jubilees and the fact of her being a patron of contemporary activities of the University. First, the article describes some examples connected with material remembrance, especially artifacts found in Collegium Maius and Collegium Novum. The history of the heraldic programs found in the above mentioned places has been outlined by presenting a discussion concerning the coats of arms on the façade of Collegium Novum, as well as paintings showing the work of St. Jadwiga. The article also presents the history of commemorative plaques in the walls of Collegium Novum in which the figure of St. Jadwiga appears.

The Collegium Maius has a rich collection of painting, consisting of 1423 paintings. Both Polish and foreign paintings on diverse themes are represented. Among them there are 832 portraits, while the remaining 591 paintings represent religious themes, genre painting and landscape. There are portraits of various personages connected with the history the Kraków Alma Mater: Polish rulers, Chancellors of the Kraków Academy, professors, their families and other persons connected with the university in some ways. The aim of this article is to present the Academy Gallery – in this case exclusively portraits of professors. There are 307 portraits of outstanding professors of the Jagiellonian University – from the earliest works dating from the 16th century to contemporary paintings. Neither in Poland nor abroad portraits of academics have been subject of more comprehensive studies so far. It is only for two decades that interest in academic portrait has been growing. Catalogues of university collections containing portraits of university professors have been published in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Finland and other countries. Among the earliest such catalogues is the one representing the collection of the University of Helsinki. This paper refers to the article by Pia Vuorikoski, tiled Galleria Academica: a Portrait Collection of the University of Helsinki, which appeared in the same issue of Opuscula Musealia (20). The most recent publication on academic portraits is the book which saw print in Kraków in 2010, presenting a study on a group of portraits of the Kraków Academy professors. The term: “phenomeon of academic portrait” was used for the first time in that publication. The surviving portraits of professors in the Jagiellonian University collection testify to the long-established tradition of creating portrait galleries. The tradition is still continued. Regardless of their artistic value, they are unique pieces of historical evidence which, through the history of persons portrayed, document the history of the earliest Polish university - the Kraków Alma Mater.
