Research into the life and work of Aleksander Gwagnin, a chronicler, from the mid-20th century (Polish, Ukrainian and Russian historiography)

Summary/Abstract: The paper is dedicated to the analysis of life and work of Aleksander Gwagnin, a Polish chronicler from the 16th century, on the basis of Slavic historical-philological studies. The author distinguishes two periods of interest in Gwagnin: in the first one (1960-1971) mainly works on his biography were written, Russian researchers made a positive verification of the authenticity of Chronicle of European Sarmatia - Gwagnin’s major work, which was also appreciated as a valuable source of knowledge by historians from Western Europe. In the second period of research (from the 1970s), Chronicle… became an object of a comprehensive historical and historiographical analysis, for example the question of Gwagnin’s authorship was considered. On the basis of new, critical translations (partly in Russian and entirely in Ukrainian with comments), thorough textological studies of the work were conducted.
