Summary/Abstract: The paper presents {“Słownik wyrazów obcego a mniej jasnego pochodzenia w języku polskim używanych”} as the first special etymological dictionary (containing only the foreign word in Polish) in the Polish lexicography. Jan Karłowicz, who has been long fiercely, though unjustly, criticized as a linguist (lexicographer and dialectologist), is currently rediscovered and esteemed as an organizer of scientific life. The paper discusses mainly the content of the dictionary, its sources, concept, methodology applied, differences between the manuscript and the published version, as well as the history of the dictionary.
