Professor Dr.Adam Vetulani’s Presentation during the Sitting for Planning of the Edition of Legal Historical Sources, which Was Established by the Commission of Legal Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences

Summary/Abstract: The text presented below is an illustration of the history of the editing of legal historical sources in Poland. a special research team for planning the editing of legal sources was assembled by the Committee of Legal Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The head of the team, Dr. Adam Vetulani, worked out a complex program for the editing of sources. The sources had been classified into various categories: land law, rural law, municipal law, and legal acts from the first part of the 19th century. Dr. Vetulani presented five main tasks in particular: 1) continuation of the editing of Corpus Iuris Polonici (the most important edition; includes fundamental legislative and governmental acts from the Middle Ages and the early modern period); 2) continuation of the editing of medieval Statutes of Casimir the Great; 3) continuation of the editing of the records of rural courts, 4) the editing of municipal legal acts; 5) the editing of legal acts from the beginning of the 19th century, i.e. from the advent of capitalism in Polish territory. The article published in this issue of “Cracow Studies of Constitutional and Legal History” (W. Uruszczak, M. Mikuła, Les editions des sources historiques et juridiques en tant que bien culturel national polonais) shows how many plans have been fulfilled. The work also included information on the rules used for editing the Statutes of Casimir the Great. The text of his presentation is a typescript and is kept at the Chair of Polish Legal History at the Jagiellonian University.
