Summary/Abstract: The manuscript legacy of Józef Muczkowski, preserved in the Jagiellonian Library, includes extensive notes and materials to the lectures on bibliography, defined as the book science in the broadest sense. Muczkowski had been giving these lectures for 21 years, in the period 1837-1858. The article characterizes generally physical form, formal and content aspects of these manuscripts. The author notices a variety of their form and inconsistency of elaboration, successive completion and updating, or even the existence of several versions of particular subjects. The article presents also in extenso three lists of examine questions prepared by the lecturer to verify students’ knowledge of book science. As such, they have not been known to the book scientists so far, and therefore they are unique and still valid. Analysis of sources to these lectures revealed that, besides works of Joachim Lelewel, Muczkowski referred also to the texts of outstanding foreign human¬ists, experts in library science – both theoreticians and practitioners: F.A. Ebert, Ch. Molbech, M. Schrettinger, P.A. Budik, J.P. Namur, J. Ch. Friedrich, A.H.L. Heeren, and F. Wilken.
