Summary/Abstract: Grzegorz of Stawiszyn (1481-1540), philosopher and theologian, was a professor and thrice the rector of the University in Cracow, one of the most important representatives of humanism. He owned a large library, which he donated to the University. He left interesting autobiographical and historical notes, which cover selected events from the history of Poland and Cracow during the years 1295-1540. Two continuations were later added to them, covering events from the years 1482-1552. They are an important source for the cultural history of the Cracow university circles. The paper contains their critical edition.
