In the paper we present a little-known episode from the research activities of Stanisław Zaremba in the field of crystallography. We discuss two publications: one of over 470 pages, entitled "Sur les fondements de la cristallographie géométrique" written together with Stefan Kreutz and published in „Bulletin de l’Académie de Sciences de Cracovie” and "Rola przekształceń punktowych przestrzeni w krystalografii included" in "Poradnik dla samouków".

The text presents the development of the research into folk dress worn by the inhabitants of the Czech lands, beginning with the works by topographers focussing on a thorough description of particular countries and provinces of the Austrian monarchy and their inhabitants, to the development of an academic platform. This was preceded by the Czechoslavic Ethnographic Exhibition in Prague (1895) and the associated efforts to present festive and ceremonial clothing worn by rural residents. For the Exhibition, exhibits were searched for in the field, which were described and photo-documented. Many articles were published in special journals; these were supposed to support the collection of materials for an ethnographic encyclopaedia. The publication of monographs on particular ethnographic regions in the post-war period was a certain intermediate stage – folk dress was described in separate chapters of these monographs. The afore-mentioned efforts was crowned by the first volume of the publication Lidové kroje v Československu [Folk Costumes in Czechoslovakia], issued by Drahomíra Stránská in 1949. In terms of methodology, the publication became an inspiration for a generation of female research fellows who based on its spirit their struggle to assess the historical development of folk dress in particular regions. Marxist ethnography brought up new research theme in the 1950s – the interest in the life of the working classes and inhabitants in industrial areas. Later-on, the research got rid of political indoctrination, and the new methodological basis made it possible to focus not only on the historical dimension, but also on the social and cultural role of clothing in the history of the 19th and 20th centuries.

The contribution offers an overview of basis terms and a brief history of Hungarian ethnography including the history of Hungarian society (and nation) from the Middle Ages to the present. The author deals more thoroughly with more important authors and works that can be considered to be ethnographic. The most significant ones include Miklós Oláh (1537), Mátyás Bél (1735–1742), a statistics describing the theory of state, János Csaplovics (1822, 1829), Herder´s prophecy about the extinction of the Magyars (1791), collections and regional descriptions in the “reform period”, Ferenc Kölcsey and his “national traditions“ (1826), János Erdélyi who further developed the same theme (1847), new beginnings after the revolutio (1848–1849), Pál Hunfalvy (1876), foundation of the Hungarian Museum of Ethnography (1872), general and industrial exhibitions, the book Österreichische Monarchie in Wort und Bild (1886–1902), publication of comparative journals, the National Millennium Exhibition in 1896, foundation of the Hungarian Ethnographic Society (1889), Lajos Katon´s suggestion for terminology (1889: ethnologia – ethnographia – folklore), the period before World War I and the end of the “golden age” after World War I.

The study offers a description of the difficulty of describing the boundaries between various study disciplines such as ethnology, folklore and ethnography in the context of pre­ and post­unitary Italy. In a specific paragraph are presented the oldest collections of fairy tales, collected by Giovanni Francesco Straparola (1480?–1557), Giambattista Basile (1566–1632) and Pompeo Sarnelli (1649–1724) and the first romantic attempts to comment on oral lore. Other paragraphs are devoted to the italian collectors of folk tales, with a particular attention on Niccolò Tommaseo (1802–1874), Vittorio Imbriani (1840–1886) and Costantino Nigra (1828– 1907), and to the theorists of folklore studies Ermolao Rubieri (1818–1879) and Alessandro d’Ancona (1835–1914). The study describes where folklore studies in Italy met with ethnographic studies and where and when they moved away from themselves.

In the last ten years, approximately, we could witness an evolution in informal international collaboration focusing on shared and interconnected history of science in the Habsburg Monarchy and in Central Europe in general. This effort, which includes mainly historians of science from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, has already produced a number of important results and contributed to the thematization of some timeless topics of history of sciences such as, for instance, nationalization and internationalization of science. In the context of this cooperation, the seminar of Jan Surman, a historian of science of Polish descent, held at the Institute of Contemporary History of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague in May 2015, concentrated on the formation of national scientific terminologies. It also underlined the necessity and usefulness of international collaboration in achieving a deeper understanding of the “national” histories of science, which cannot be separated from the “international” history.

W ostatnich dziesięciu latach jesteśmy świadkami rozwoju nieformalnej współpracy międzynarodowej, koncentrującej się na historii nauki w monarchii habsburskiej i, w ogólności, w Europie Środkowej – wspólnej dla krajów tego regionu lub mającej wzajemne powiązania. Kooperacja obejmuje głównie historyków nauki z Austrii, Czech, Węgier i Polski. Do chwili obecnej przyniosła już ważne rezultaty i przyczyniła się do podjęcia pewnych ponadczasowych zagadnień historii nauki, takich jak na przykład nacjonalizacja i umiędzynarodowienie nauki. W ramach tej współpracy w maju 2015 roku w Instytucie Historii Współczesnej Czeskiej Akademii Nauk w Pradze odbyło się seminarium, podczas którego dr Jan Surman, historyk nauki polskiego pochodzenia, analizował tworzenie krajowych terminologii naukowych. Podkreślił jednocześnie konieczność i przydatność współpracy międzynarodowej w osiągnięciu głębszego zrozumienia „narodowych” historii nauki, które nie mogą być oddzielone od historii „międzynarodowej”.
