O „dobrem piśmie”, czyli dydaktyce pisowni w perspektywie historycznej (na podstawie zbiorów biblioteki Uniwersytetu Lwowskiego)
On “writing well”, or the teaching of writing from a historical perspective (a study based on the collection of the Lviv University Library)

Summary/Abstract: This article presents results of the research on the emergence of a methodology of teachingwriting. A major part of the article is based on the materials available at the ScientificLibrary of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, on the author’s personal collectionof books, as well as on texts and research reports available online. The research problem was to determine when the first methodological texts on the topic were published andto what extent they applied the theoretical foundations that had been laid by languageresearchers. The article uses such terms as graphic design, calligraphy and orthographyto systemically organise the terminology related to translating sounds into writing,the graphic standards for letters and correct writing, i.e. writing in accordance with theestablished rules. The author believes that the presented systematisation of the termsgraphic design, calligraphy and orthography constitutes an important new contributionto the research on teaching orthography. Furthermore, this is also the first studyto present in this context the book Nauka o dobrem piśmie (‘Learning to Write Well’)by Onufry Kopczyński, dated to 1807. The analysis is accompanied by a methodologicalreflexion on the rules that govern the shaping of the standard correct Polish writing fromthe historical perspective, that is, from the emergence of Polish words to the time whenthe aforementioned book was published, i.e. to the period of the Commission of NationalEducation.
