Summary/Abstract: This bibliography is a register of savoir-vivre guides published in Poland or in Polish between 1739 and 1959. It has been prepared on the basis of existing bibliographies and catalogues. Its authors have adopted a narrower understanding of the concepts of ‘handbooks of good manners’ and ‘guides to savoir-vivre’, which is why it does not include letter-writing manuals, collections of toasts and felicitations, guides to games and social games, guides to speech writing, guide to diplomatic protocol, housekeeping, organizing parties etc. The bibliography is in chronological order and contains indexes of names, titles, places of publication, translations, modifications and target groups.
