Mieczysław Ludwik Potodci of Lubicz crest came from Bracław voivodship. Born in 1810 in Lwów he studied in Warsaw University and later fought in the November Uprising. For many years he ran Kociubińczyki, his Galician estate near Husiatyn. It was only by accident that he became member — correspondent of the Cracow Scientific Society. After handing over a statute of Światowid (a pagan deity) found in the waters of the Zbruch, M. L. Potocki started collecting coins and archaeological objects for his private „Museum of Antiques” . As a member of the Cracow Scientific Society he travelled a lot for scientific purposes in Lubelska Gubernyia and in Galicia. In 1864 M. L. Potocki was appoited monuments conservator in East Galicia and published several reports on conservation activities. He spent his last years in Lwów where he worked in the National Archaeological Museum. A year before his death M. L. Potocki was elected chairman of the section of archaeology and antropology. During his stay in Lubelska Gubemyia he decided to write a comprehensive monography (in two volumes) of the town and fortress of Zamość. The work was written finally in 1858—1862 and he wrote it together with Priest-Mikołaj Kulaszynski. Józef Friedlein, a Cracow book dealer, bought the manuscript from the author and wanted to have it printed but never fulfilled the task due to the shortage of funds. In 1926 Henryk Rosiński, a bibliophile from Zamość, bought the manuscript from Firedlein’s successor, Józef Munnich. After World War II and the aeath of Henryk Rosiński in Auschwitz, his sister passed on his collections including the manuscript to the Museum in Zamość, where it is still now.
