The article is an introduction to and a presentation of a text that has not been published so far and was written by one of the most distinguished and most versatile Polish scholars in the 20th century, Professor Aleksander Birkenmajer (1890-1967). The text itself is a review of a paper by a distinguished expert on old Polish books, Kazimierz Budzyk, entitled:'Bibliografia konstytucji sejmowych XVII wieku w Polsce' (Bibliography of 17th Century Parliamentary Constitutions in Poland), (Wrocław 1962).Both Budzyk's work and Birkenmajer's review include a number of valuable findings and reflections on printing practices associated with the publication of official texts, the so-called constitutions - resolutions passed by the Polish parliament in the 17th century. In addition, both scholars devoted a lot of attention to the research methods employed in studies on old books. The article is an attempt to make the reader acquainted with the most important, and at the same time, most controversial opinions and theses advocated by Budzyk and Birkenmajer, to which was added the opinion of Eugenia Triller, which expanded the scope of the discussion.The views and arguments of both scholars presented in this article by no means exhaust the complex and difficult subject of the constitutions' identity and chronology; however, they do extend our knowledge of this subject in an excellent manner.

Professor Aleksander Birkenmajer's rich legacy, kept in the Manuscript Department of the Jagiellonian Library, includes among his correspondence writings by Kazimierz Piekarski. This collection comprises twenty letters, seven postcards, one note, a visiting card, a postal order and an invitation to a celebration in memory of the late Kazimierz Piekarski. The letters written between 1921-1942 are an interesting testimony to the over twenty-year-long collaboration between the two scholars broken by Piekarski's premature death. The subjects of the letters included problems with Piekarski's methods, his research, his publishing, bibliophilic and organisational work among Polish librarians in the inter-war period, as well as social and personal affairs of the author of the letters. What should also be noted is the language of these letters - Kazimierz Piekarski was famous for his brilliant wit, self-mockery and critical but very humane approach to human weaknesses. Despite its fragmentary nature Kazimierz Piekarski's legacy deserves to be brought back from obscurity because of the figure of its author - an eminent scholar, exceptional librarian and fascinating human being.
