Summary/Abstract: The topic of this article is the functioning of annotations in Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński’s most important scholarly work: Wiadomości historyczno-krytyczne do dziejów literatury polskiej ( 1819–1822). A n a nalysis o f c riticisms a bout i ts s tructure, i ncluding different types of annotations, prompts the author to consider these annotations thrugh the prism of Ossoliński’s personality as a scientist. The object of analysis, beside Ossoliński’s dissertation, become: the count’s theoretical arguments about pursuing research and his correspondence. An important context regarding the role and structure of annotations in Ossoliński’s work is Dictionnaire historique et critique by Pierre Bayle (1697). The author of the article not only indicates formal resemblances between the Polish and French works but also argues that they stemmed from the similarities in the scientific disposition of Bayle and Ossoliński.
