VENIA LEGENDI IN THE FIELD OF PHILOLOGY AT THE JAGIELLONIAN UNIVERSITY FROM THE SECOND HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO 1939 AND FURTHER FATE OF HABILITATED DOCENTS

Summary/Abstract: This paper gives an overview of 71 persons who tried to obtain the right to give lectures on philology at the Faculty of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian Universityin the years 1862–1939. Out of them, 60 persons received the venia legendi, but 11 were denied that right. While the article takes into account a small group of scholars, some conclusions and generalizations can be made, such as, for example, that it is certain that philology schools were founded in Cracow. Thus, it is easier to capture the master–student relationship. Most of the privat-docents (docents), after obtaining the venia legendi, still remained “in school” and received university chairs not only at the Jagiellonian University but also at other universities. A Cracow’s docent, who could not count on a chair at the Jagiellonian University – not because of inadequate qualifications but because of budgetary reasons – received a professor’s chair at one of the other universities of the Second Polish Republic (not counting Lwow): in Vilnius, Warsaw or Poznań.
