Auxiliary sciences of history at the Jagiellonian University, 1805–1890/1891–1945: Main research directions

Summary/Abstract: In 1805, the Austrian scholar Thomas Vuchich began delivering lectures on the auxiliary historical sciences at the Jagiellonian University – a moment that marks the 220th anniversary of the discipline’s presence at the institution. Throughout the 19th century, these lectures were conducted regularly, though not without interruptions. A turning point came in 1890, with the habilitation of Stanisław Krzyżanowski in the field of auxiliary sciences of history. In the 1890/1891 academic year, he began systematic teaching and research in this area, laying the foundations for these disciplines. In 1916, he was succeeded by Władysław Semkowicz – another eminent scholar – who brought the field to an unprecedented level of development on a national scale. This growth was abruptly halted by the German occupation from 1939 to 1945.
