Summary/Abstract: This text presents new information concerning seven Polish composers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries whose oeuvre included symphonies. The information primarily comes from registers kept in various (diocesan and parish) church archives, as well as state archives and other collections. The sources provide specific dates and place names in relation to composers whose biographies have remained unknown to date and supplement biographies already partially familiar. Apart from new biographical information, the paper also mentions previously unknown music manuscripts containing works by some of these composers.
