Wilhelm Friedrich (1882–1914) was the first to use the term “historical geography” and his work on medieval Bohemia, published in 1912, is still methodologically very inspiring. However, we know very little about the author himself; he is usually given as a professor at a Gymnasium, who died in the First World War; the following text provides some biographical detail about this almost forgotten figure.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie rozwoju i zmian w nauczaniu geografii na poziomie akademickim w wielokulturowym Gdańsku. Wprawdzie historia gdańskiej geografii, rozumianej jako kierunek studiów akademickich, jest stosunkowo krótka i sięga pierwszej połowy XX w., Gdańsk, miasto od samego swojego początku zamieszkane przez Polaków, Niemców i Kaszubów, kupców z miast hanzeatyckich, z Żuławami, zasiedlonymi przez Holendrów, z dzielnicą Stare Szkoty z jej szkockimi mieszkańcami, stał się miastem o zróżnicowanej strukturze etnicznej i wyznaniowej, która sprzyjała i chętnie przyjmowała nowinki naukowe, zwłaszcza przydatne w handlu i żegludze morskiej.

The present article provides a content analysis of the mappa mundi (world map) in the code compiled by Jakub of Kowalewice (BUP MS. 1746) and attempts to establish the provenance of the text that had been contained in the codex, its authorship, and the approximate date of its origin. Furthermore, the article analyses the list of provinces that had been labelled and inscribed into the diagrammatic world maps (mappae mundi) based on the T-O diagram, which depicted the three known continents as a T contained in a circle, and those included outside the map form in a group of codices that include parallel texts to that of the Poznan codex (that originally came from the ninth century work by Nennius – Historia Brittonum). Finally, the results of the query for the maps using the T-O type in Polish collections that could have provided the model (pattern) for the map included in the codex by Jakub of Kowalewice are presented. An attempt is also made to perform a content analysis of the list of provinces inscribed into the map and to indicate the differences and common features between the maps found in the query and the copy in MS 1746.

Niniejszy artykuł stanowi analizę treściową mappae mundi zawartej w kodeksie Jakuba z Kowalewic (BUP Rkp. 1746),  próbę odpowiedzi na pytania o proweniencję wpisanego w  nią tekstu i jej autora oraz orientacyjne określenie czasu jej powstania. Ponadto poddano analizie listy prowincji  wpisane zarówno w mapy typu T-O, jak i te zmieszczone  poza nimi, w zebranych kodeksach zawierających analogiczny tekst do tego z poznańskiego kodeksu,  pochodzący pierwotnie z IX-wiecznego dzieła autorstwa Nenniusza pt. Historia Brittonum. Artykuł prezentuje wyniki poszukiwania w polskich zbiorach map typu T-O, które  mogły być wzorem dla mapy znajdującej się w kodeksie Jakuba z Kowalewic. Podjęto również próbę analizy  treściowej listy prowincji wpisanej w mapę oraz wskazania różnic i cech wspólnych w znalezionych mapach i  egzemplarzu w kodeksie Rkp. 1746.
