Summary/Abstract: The study attempts to re-examine Adam Mickiewicz’s attitude towards The Philomaths as well as the phenomenon of Philomathism on the basis of some papers such as welcome speeches, statements, proceedings, decrees or reports documenting his formal activity as the head of The Department I of The Philomath Society. The author of this article poses a question on the necessity to reconsider so called philomathic parallel articulated by Wacław Kubacki and finally concludes that the period of the philomathic activity of the author of Oda do młodości [Ode to Youth] does not easily translate into the character of his spiritual leadership the poet had implemented in the later period of his mature life.
