On the Phenomenon of Professor Stanisław Salmonowicz’s Academic Output

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a statistical description and analysis of the academic output of Professor Stanisław Salmonowicz, a historian and lawyer who has long been associated with Toruń. His output consists of c. 1350 publications, including over 60 books, almost 500 scholarly articles and c. 480 book reviews. The chronological framework of Salmonowicz’s scholarly interests ranges from the sixteenth century to the present day and encompasses both the history of Europe (notably the history of France, Austria and Prussia) and history of Poland with particular emphasis on the history of Pomerania and the city of Toruń. An important place in this output is occupied by the history of law and political systems of European countries. Salmonowicz’s academic publications include monographs on, among other things, the Academic Gymnasium in Toruń in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, the codification of penal law in the age of the Enlightened Absolutism, the Polish Underground State of 1939–1945, and the Warsaw Uprising of 1944; as well as numerous scholarly articles on the culture of old Toruń, political and religious matters of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the history of law. Moreover, Salmonowicz is the author of comprehensive books on King Frederick the Great of Prussia and the history of the Prussian state. He has also authored numerous chapters in books published in the series dedicated to the history of Toruń and Pomerania. His works also include many texts that can inspire further academic inquiries. For example, his research into early modern witch trials and the morally questionable attitudes of certain Poles under Nazi and Soviet occupation during the Second World War may be an excellent point of departure for further historical investigations.
