O udziale polskich naukowców w międzynarodowych kongresach średniowiecznego prawa kanonicznego na marginesie sprawozdania z kongresu w Saint Louis
THE PARTICIPATION OF POLISH SCHOLARS IN INTERNATIONAL MEDIEVAL CANON LAW CONGRESSES IN THE MARGIN OF THE REPORT FROM THE CONGRESS IN SAINT LOUIS

Summary/Abstract: The present article shows the history of participation of scholars from Poland at the international congresses of medieval canon law along with the report from the 16th Congress in Saint Louis (13–23 July 2022) and the insights concerning the future of the science of history of common canon law in Poland. The congresses have been held since 1958 every four or five years on both sides of the Atlantic and they are an academic celebration for the scholars united by the same research objectives, namely medieval canon law and subjects related to it. Only sixteen scholars from Poland participated in the sixteen congresses and there were only nine papers authored by Polish academics in the renowned conference proceedings. These modest numbers show that the participation of Polish scholars in the international science of medieval canon law has been very limited over the past half century. Nevertheless, the last congress in Saint Louis witnessed a couple of harbingers of a positive trend of the growing inclusion of Polish scholars into this international academic community. The 16th congress itself was a organizational and scientific milestone for this community, which is currently looking forward to the next congress in Canterbury.
