Józef Obrebski's article entitled 'Bronislaw Malinowski's Functional Method of Analysis' preserved in his archives in manuscript form. was edited by Anna Engelking. This elaborate work concerning the method of analysis of Obrebski's professor and mentor presents Malinowski's functionalism in the context of both his own scholarly biography as well contemporary anthropology. The article is accompanied by discussion by Kotarbinski and Ossowski, and the author's own response to it. The remaining archival texts by Obrebski are included in the Annex. These are fragments of two lost or unfinished larger works regarding Malinowski from the late 1930's. The first edition of these yet unknown archival works and the evidence of the first studies of Malinowski's legacy becomes an interesting contribution to the history of Polish ethnology and sociology.
