Professor Janusz Dunin-Horakiewicz (1931–2007) – a humanist, bibliologist, academic lecturer, bibliophile. He studied the development of the forms of children books and their structural differentiation, he analyzed the language of signs allowing to read not only in a book, but also a book itself as an object filled with meaning; his signature method of conducting research was the structural – typological identification of the publications and their purpose. The path-clearing character of Dunin’s works, his search for methods and ways to articulate bibliological knowledge pointed him towards interdisciplinarity. The scholar often used his bibliophile knowledge and underlined that among the old children books the important ones are those which survived within the collections, becoming the important element of the culture, even if they don’t possess any artistic value. Professor Dunin was one of the most important book historians and theoreticians in Poland, and his works deserves to be analyzed and interpreted by modern day researchers.

Professor Janusz Dunin-Horkawicz (b. 26 June 1931 in Vilna, d. 27 July 2007 in Łódź) was a humanist, university lecturer and social activist. His scholarly interests encompassed the theory and practice of social communication by means of the written word and iconic images; the history of literary, children’s and popular books; librarianship and bibliophilism. In his reflection on the world of printed matter, Dunin used several parallel discourses: bibliological, bibliophilic and media studiesdiscourse. In order to describe Dunin’s achievements, we would have to abandon the entire encyclopaedia- and dictionary-based conceptual framework we use to describe scholars. Descriptions like eminent literature scholar, popular culture scholar, media studies expert, bibliologist, bibliophile are applicable to some extent, but they do not describe all of Professor Dunin’s competencies, limiting the discussion about his role in the humanities today. As a scholar Dunin followed his own path in pursuit of learning; he had a unique gift for observing the world of books and literature, and his vast knowledge enabled him to move effortlessly across various research fields. Consequently, his conclusions were cross-disciplinary and were expressed in a light style combining scientific approach with popular appeal. According to the author of this article, Professor Dunin’s legacy deserves to be analysed in detail by contemporary scholars.
