The article continues the discussion on the authorship of the chronicle written in the Cistersian monastery in Oliwa near Gdansk. It is usually accepted that it was the work of abbot Stanislaw (known from the sources between 1330 and 1350). The article brings some new arguments for this thesis and a number of new details about the career of Stanislaw (who should be identified with a monk appearing between 1321 and 1323). The chronicler most probably came from a family of Pomeranian knights. The sentence in the chronicle about inconstancy of Poles (chapter 43) may therefore be treated as an expression of a widely held opinion among the knights of Gdansk Pomerania. The reason for it was probably the fact that in 1308-1309 the duke of Poland, Wladyslaw the Short, left Pomerania without help when it was faced with aggression from Brandenburg and the Teutonic Knights.
