Elementy państwoznawstwa w dziełach historycznych Marcina Kromera
Elements of state studies in historical works by Marcin Kromer

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to seek an answer to the research question whether the bishop ordinary of the diocese of Warmia, Marcin Kromer, can be regarded as one of the precursors of state studies in Poland. The authors chronogically examined particular stages of the bishop’s life, his professional career and achievements in the field of church and secular writing. The research demonstrates that one of Kromer’s works entitled “Polonia sive de situ, populis, moribus, magistratibus et Republica regni Polonici libri duo” includes descriptions which can be classified as examples of state studies. Until this day, the work itself has an undeniable cognitive value to its readers.
