The comprehensive conservation of the Sigismund Chapel adjoining the Wawel Cathedral in Cracow and comprising all elements sculpted in stone and cast in bronze along with the interior furbishing, carried out to exemplary standards in between 2002 and 2004 by the Intercollegiate Institute of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art under the supervision of professor Ireneusz Pluska, has induced art historians to present some of their assertions and discoveries. Because these findings concern the most outstanding work of Renaissance architecture and sculpture in Poland, it has been decided - against all traditions of this academic journal - to include in this special edition the results of research well outside the field it represents. Thus, apart from the main articles presenting three contrasting interpretations of the royal mausoleum's decorative programme, shorter texts referring to the knowledge of constructional materials in the past and geometry are also published in this special issue
