Summary/Abstract: In the University Library of the Catholic University of Lublin there is an unpublished manuscript of Rev. Prof. Antoni Szymański entitled “Prawo” (“Law”). Its analysis allows us to state that this scholar had a profound knowledge of philosophical and legal issues. The author gives in it a detailed lecture on the history of the concept of natural law. He also presents the detailed assumptions of legal-naturalism with an original commentary on its most important theses. This lecture does not differ in content and form from the papers of “professional” philosophers of law. In his reflections he adopts a neotomistic position.
