Summary/Abstract: About critical research on medieval Polish philosophy we can tell only since the beginning of the XX century. lt was when numerous discoveries of source texts and their interpretation changed previous critical assessment. One reason for this criticism was often unacquantance with the character of medieval literature and disrespect to philosophical essence included in teological works. Meanwhile, teological texts, as a result of a specific sitation of philosophy at the medieval university, include after all wide range of material to get to know philosophical view of a particular author. One of the most important among those texts was commentaries to Piotr Lombard's work titled "Sentencja". It was the basic medieval work, a real compendium of teological and philosophical knowledge. Those commentaries played an important role in scientific accomplishments of professors at the University of Kraków. This article includes short profile of the most important of them.
