Taking into consideration a few articles available to Polish readers devoted to “Przegląd Orientalistyczny” (PO) – with the last of them published in 2003 – this article forms an attempt at supplementing especially the more recent history of the only journal in the Polish language devoted to Oriental and African studies. It evolved from the journal “Myśl Karaimska”, as a periodical (a yearly) under the auspices of Polish Oriental Society. Its first number for the year 1948 appeared in 1949 with Prof. Ananiasz Zajączkowski as the editor-in-chief who was also the president of Polish Oriental Society (1949–1958). In the year 1953, PO was officially declared to be the organ of Polish Oriental Society with Prof. Jan Reychman as its new editor-in-chief and from then it has been published as a quarterly. In 1963, Prof. Stanisław Kałużyński became the new editor-in-chief and continued his work until 2003, when Prof. Danuta Stasik took over his duties, working with the editorial team to build up the reputation of PO listed by the Polish Ministry of Higher Education and ERIH (The European Reference Index for the Humanities).

Years 1928–1948 were extremely important for Hajji Seraya Shapshal – an Orientalist and the spiritual leader of Karaims working in these years in Vilnius. In the first decade of this period he was a prolific researcher and an active spiritual and social leader in the what was then the Second Polish Republic nota bene very tolerant towards Karaim religion. The second decade of this period includes the years of the Second World War, the first short years of independent Lithuania along with the years of its German occupation, and, finally, a few years of the not less problematic Soviet rule. Seraya Shapshal’s played a key role in these hard times as the spiritual and secular leader of the Karaim community. The correspondence between him and Ananiasz Zajączkowski is therefore an extremely important source of information not only on Seraya Shapszal, but also on the whole Karaim nation.

The collection of letters written by Professor Ananiasz Zajączkowski (1903–1970), an eminent Turcologist and Iranist, to Hajji Seraya Khan Shapshal (1873–1961) is stored in the Archive of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences (in the so called Biblioteka Wróblewskich) in Vilnius and is of great value for both history of Oriental studies (Turcology in articular) and for the members of the Karaim communities in Lithuania and Poland. The letters were written in the years 1928–1948. Unfortunately, the letters addressed by Shapshal (also a recognized Orientalist) to Zajączkowski burned down in the latter’s apartment destroyed during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. On the base of facts described by Ananiasz Zajączkowski in his letters, one can follow his scientific biography, e.g. his efforts in organizing the Chair in Turcology and the Institute for Oriental Studies at the University of Warsaw and his editorial activities concerning the journal “Myśl Karaimska”. One learns a lot about Karaims living in Warsaw at that time and their social and political position in the Republic of Poland. Some echoes of Zajączkowski’s family life are also present in these letters.
