List dedykacyjny Jerzego Samuela Bandtkiego w Historii drukarń krakowskich
A DEDICATORY LETTER OF JERZY SA MUEL BANDTKIE IN HISTORIA DRUKARŃ KRAKOWSKICH

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the history of polemics of two 19th century scholars: Jerzy Samuel Bandtkie and Feliks Bentkowski. The main reason of the argument was the thesis put forward by Bandtkie in the book O pierwszych sztuką drukarską w Krakowie inkunabułach, which made Szwajpolt Fiol, not Jan Haller the first printer in Kraków, as considered so far. Bentkowski was critical of the librararian’s thought. His statement was included in a dedicatory letter O najdawniejszych książkach dawnych drukowanych w Polsce, a w szczególności tych, które Jan Haller w Krakowie wydał. An answer to Bentkowski’s work was a thick polemic scientific work by Bandtkie Historia drukarń krakowskich. The director of the Jagiellonian library dedicated it to a scientific opponent. The article puts a special emphasis on source references, as well as other elements typical of a dedicatory letter as a component of a literary publishing frame.
