This research paper discusses the evolution of the attitude of Stefan Bathory (1576–1586), king of Poland, towards the University of Krakow. Being aware of the university’s obsolete structures and its functioning, the king planned to create an elite royal college, in which foreign scholars, especially Italians, were to provide education. Due to the failure of his plan, Batory changed his attitude towards the University, and became its important patron and benefactor. At the same time, however, he also contributed to the establishment of the Jesuit Vilnius University (1578/1579). The author analyses the monarch’s relations with the Krakow Alma Mater over ten years of his reign, trying to explain the circumstances and motives of his conduct towards Krakow’s university elites.

The book Architecture Constructed: Notes on a Discipline is an almost unique text in the contemporary landscape of architectural theory and criticism (but also beyond those). Namely, it is not a book of theory, not a book of criticism, not a book of history, but at the same time it is cer-tainly a book of theory, criticism and history.And it does so by reviving the aphoristic genre, here following Jacques Derrida and Friedrich Nietzsche, that has largely fallen into disuse, as it is considered neither scientific nor academic in current (scientific and academic) production. By stepping back from the details, one is in fact still able to perceive the synthetic complete image.
