Summary/Abstract: There is considerable convergence between the views of many members ofthe Lvov-Warsaw School and the positions endorsed in the current debate on persistencethrough time. But there are some significant differences, too. In this paper, I am going to reconstruct and to analyse several positions of some representatives of the Lvov-Warsaw School on the issue in question. Then I shall identify and shortly describe those elements of the reconstructed accounts which are, on the one hand, specific to the Lvov-Warsaw School and, on the other hand, mostly ignored in the present-day metaphysical dispute. The general message of the paper is the contention that although there were no systematic separate research within the Lvov-Warsaw School on persistence through time, some solutions and interpretations put forward by its members can serve as an interesting enrichment of the ongoing debate.
