Summary/Abstract: An article dedicated to accountancy present in the works of Bruno Schulz – the sort of accounting described by J.W. Goethe as “one of the most beautiful discoveries of the human spirit”. A study of Schulzian dylogy and works by the interpreters of his œuvre, an analysis of concepts borrowed from economic sciences and accountancy, and an analysis of the accomplishments of theoreticians within the range of this science create a set of instruments that make it possible to resolve the question concerning the impact exerted by accounting on the protagonists of the Schulzian dylogy. Can accountancy be perceived as a sui generis causal power thanks to which (instead of: despite which) Jakub / Jacob underwent spiritual experiences? In order to grant accountancy the function of a portal leading to spirituality it is necessary to alter the perspective of perceiving this science and to create for it a place in metaphysical space, art, Goethean polarity, etc. The most recent achievements of researchers representing this particular domain create such an opportunity.
