Beauty bequeathed. Work of art donated to the Jagiellonian University held in
the Collegium Maius collection
The history of contribution towards the Cracow University is as old as the insti-
tution itself. The main university building - Collegium Maius ֊ was a donation,
established by the monarch, which became the foundation for the further activ-
ity of the center of academic education in Cracow. Initially, the development of
the University was possible only thanks to the generosity of royalty and social
elite, both clergy (bishops, canons) and lay (lord, nobles, the wealthy merchant
class), but also professors themselves. The remaining traces of that generos-
ity are university buildings with commemorative plates, book collections and
movables, as well as the intellectual heritage left by professors and students,
who were supported by stipends and benefits.
It was only in the 19th century when the University became founded by the
state. In that period, private support was a matter of social trend and good
custom. The Cracow University was an institution which managed to maintain
the continuity of existence and, despite the fall of Polish statehood, remained
a sign of nation’s vitality. Therefore, it was not surprising that the nation’s elite,
those remaining in the country and others scattered all around the world, were
generous patrons of the University - seeing it as a contribution to the national
rebirth. The 20th century, even if it was the age of two world wars and commu-
nism, saw the University preserving ֊ as far as it was possible - its property
and wealth. In times of grave danger, during the Second World War, professors
would participate without salaries in clandestine education and research, put-
ting their very lives in danger. Their commitment and dedication, sometimes
paid with suffering and death in concentration camps, like Sachsenhausen,
Buchenwald and Auschwitz, left a visible mark. Up to this day, the University
keeps the grateful memory of them.
Shortly after the Second World War, in 1947, the academic Senate decided to
create a university museum in the Collegium Maius building. Its organization
was finished in 1964. Thus, the University acquired a place, where history of
contribution may be presented to a wide audience.
In the 21st century, the financial aid for academics and students, as well as
the economic background of their research, are based mainly on governmental
funding, supervised by institutions created for this purpose. Consequently, the
Polish nation is a collective benefactor of the University. In this context, the
past and present, but also the future of the Jagiellonian University, are insepa-
rable from the condition and will of the nation.

“Habent sua fata diploma...” The tragic fate of the Cracow University’s foun-
dation charters
During the Middle Ages, a university was not founded upon a single document.
It was a complex process, which required cooperation between local author-
ities - interested in creation a new institution of education - and universal
powers. While the former - in person of a prince or king, and sometimes city
authorities - would provide economic and organisation security by releasing a
foundation act, the latter - the pope, seldom the emperor - would issue its own
act, officially declaring a new studium open. Such an act was necessary, above
all things related to the university’s right for giving teaching licences in the
whole Christendom.
The origins of the Cracow University were rather close to this pattern. The
release of a foundation act was preceded by a supplication sent in 1363 to the
Papal Curia in Avignon. Answering the request, Pope Urban V wrote a letter to
the Archbishop of Gniezno, asking for detailed information about the planned
foundation. Later, King Kasimir the Great released a foundation charter of the
Cracow University on the day of Pentacost (12th May 1364). On the same day, the
city of Cracow issued its own act, ensuring the security of university rights and
privileges. Basing on both documents, Pope Urban V relased a foundation bull
on the 13th September 1364, giving a legal basis for the creation of university. In
another letter from the 13th September 1364 the pope urged the king to release a
new foundation document, demanding that bishop of Cracow, and not the chan-
cellor of the Realm, would take the office of university chancellor. Although the
king did not issue such a document, after a certain time the university began its
operation, which soon was interrupted by the sudden death of Kasimir in 1370.
From the early 1390s, efforts were made to reactivate the university, effecting
a request made by King Ladislaus Jagiełło and Queen Jadwiga, who asked Pope
Boniface IX for permission to create a Faculty of Theology in Cracow, which was
not provided by the Kasimir’s foundation. From their point of view, there was
no need to issue a new foundation act for the whole university, which de iure
already existed, but only to add a single new element to it. Pope Boniface IX
answered to the request of the royal couple with the bull from the 11th January
1397, establishing the new faculty. Given that previous funds were already lost,
a new act of granting, or a new foundation, was necessary. Having it in her
mind, the dying Jadwiga made a donation of her royal jewellery. After her death,
this work was continued by Ladislaus Jagiełło. In the document from the 26th
July 1400, the king again determined the economic and organisational basis of
the university, and in the following years he other acts were released by him,
i.a. passing the right for many church benefices.
For long centuries during the Old Polish period, the documents were stored
in one of many chests and drawers in the university archive, which back then
was located in the Collegium Maius. Their content was registed in university
cartularies, probate copies were made and recorded in archival inventories.
Such means were supposed to protect them from being destroyed or lost. De-
spite this, in the second half of the 17th century the bull of Urban V disap-
peared, only a copy of the text being know now, and in the course of time
the act of Boniface IX lost its lead seal. Only two royal foundation charters
survived to the 20th century without any damage: one of Kasimir the Great
and the other of Ladislaus Jagiełło, both generally considered to be the most
important sources of knowledge about the origins of the Cracow University.
372

In ca. 1900 a decision was made to photograph them and ensure even better
protection. Both documents were placed in special strongboxes and, together
with rector and dean insignias, secured in a bank deposit. Shortly before the
outbreak of the Second World War, on the 31st August 1939, the deposit was
withdrawn by the JU secretary Włodzimierz Ottman. On the following day, the
1st September, during the morning air raid on Cracow, the deposit was passed
to Adam Bochnak, the head of the Art History Department, on the purpose of
hiding them in the Department’s rooms located in the south wing of Colle-
gium Novum. This was not a random choice. Already during the construction
of this building in the 1880s one of basement rooms was prepared for conceal-
ment of “silverware, jewellery and treasures in case of danger”. The entrance
to the basement was made by stairs hidden under the floor in the Cabinet of
Archeology. In 1939 this stash was used i.a. to keep safe the collection from
the rector’s office and the Department of Prehistoric Archeology, as well as
figurines from the St. Mary’s Altar predella. To make this possible, before the
war another stasth was made under the basement floor. It was there, in the
very foundation of the building, where the insignias and wooden boxes with
the foundation charters were hastily hidden. The stash was then enclosed,
and its site was appropriately concealed.
The first stash was discovered by the Germans just after few months and pil-
laged. Despite the thorough search they were not able to find the second stash.
However, the priceless collection was still in danger. Only in six months after
the end of the war, during the session of the Academic Senate’s Art Commision
on the 28th July 1945, Prof. Adam Bochnak pointed that “the documents in un-
suitable conditions were in danger”. It was immediately decided to uncover the
stash and put its content in another place. The upper shelter was opened and
the concrete slab, which covered the lower stash, was pierced. Among crum-
bling shards of wood, a box made of sheet metal was discovered, containing
a jagged piece of paper with the following note: “The JU Treasury hidden on
1st September 1939 at... hour Adam Bochnak, Jerzy Żarnecki, Michał Orkisz”.
Following this, all sceptres, chains, rings and other objects were recovered from
the stash. Two molding boxes were also found, and farther majestic seals of
Kasimir the Great and Ladislaus Jagiełło. There was no trace of the parchment
documents, though, to which they were attached.
On 1st August 1945 the Academic Senate’s Art Commision met during another
session.
Experts said that the parchment documents, kept in such inappropriate con-
ditions for six years, must have been destroyed. It was decided to make copies of
the documents based on surviving photographs, then photograph and keep the
remains. This decision was only partially executed. No photographic documen-
tation is known today and it is very likely that it has never been made, however
copies were made in the 1950s on request of Karol Estreicher and are still kept
in the JU Museum. Also, fragments of wooden boxes used to store documents are
still preserved there, as well as a glass jar, holding powdery substance taken,
according to Estreicher, from the place where documents had been concealed.
A long silence fell around the fact that the foundation charters were de-
stroyed. The literature about the wartime and post-war history of the university
only casually remarks this subject. In 2013, the JU Archive and JU Museum cre-
ated a joint comission, which was tasked to investigate the destruction of the
foundation documents, basing on archival query and different examination of
conservational, photographic, biological, etc. character.
Contribution to the University during the Old Polish age
During the Old Polish age, beneficience was related to the practice Christian
virtues. Gratefulness for donations was reflected in religious form. Prayer for
benefactors would bring them an everlasting intercession of the community,
even many years after death. It should be stressed, however, that the academic
community of that age would also care for more visible signs of respect to the
benefactors. Those signs were commemorative plaques expressing gratitude, en-
tries in university registers, dedications and portraits. Another testimonies of
grateful memory are visible on onomastic level: in names of university buildings
and scholarships, commemorating many founders. Finally, in the early 19th cen-
tury the Cracow University took the name of the Jagiellonian University - thus
reminding of its royal renewer’s merits. The founder of the University, King
Kasimir the Great, was eternized in the sculpture made in the 14th century, which
is currently displayed in the “common room” (Stuba Communis) of the Collegium
Maius. Unfortunately, during the Second World War the foundation charter re-
leased on the Pentacost day in 1364 was destroyed. However, other artifacts sur-
vived and are kept in the JU Archive’s collection: a wax seal from the royal foun-
dation document, another document issued on the same day by the city authori-
ties of Cracow, and also a letter from Pope Urban V addressed to King Kasimir the
Great from the 13th September 1364. Other documents concerning the Kasimir’s
foundation remain in the Vatican Archive. The greates veneration, however, was
shown by the University to King Ladislaus Jagiełło. For academic purposes, the
monarch donated the oldest part of the Collegium Maius, at the time called the
Royal or Ladislaus’ College. In the university register, holding a remark about
the king’s death in 1434, it was also noted that he was “the original founder,
benefactor and distinguished patron of our Cracow university”, and prayer for
him shall be everlasting. The Cracow’s Alma Mater kept other Polish monarchs
in its grateful memory, those who generously bestowed moveable goods upon it,
and who provided funds for upkeep of professors and other necessary expenses.
Patronage of the Church was of great importance to the university. Bishop Piotr
Wysz (died in 1414) spread the idea of restoration of Kasimir’s university, man-
aging to convince Queen Jadwiga, and with her assistance - also King Ladislaus
Jagiełło to support it. Cardinal Zbigniew Oleśnicki (died in 1455) founded the Je-
rusalem Boarding House, a large house for 100 persons. That boarding house
has not survived, but a trace, a foundation plaque, remains in the walls of the
Collegium Maius. Bishop Piotr Tomicki (died in 1535) bequeathed a part of his
large book collection to the College. Additionally, he provided funds for chair of
Justinian’s Institutes, enabling systematic lectures in Roman Law. The history of
contribution to the University mentions many names of Church hierarchs. One
should mention also Bishop Bernard Maciejowski (died in 1608), a donator of the
third university sceptre, Bishop Piotr Tylicki (died in 1616), Bishop Jakub Zadzik
(died in 1642), Bishop Kazimierz Łubieński (died in 1719), Bishop Andrzej Załuski
(died in 1758). The last of Church patrons in the Old Polish period was the bishop
of Płock, Primate Michał Poniatowski (died in 1794), the king’s brother and the
head of the Commission of National Education. The Church’s support had both fi-
nancial (funds of the upkeep of professors and purchase of scientific instruments,
scholarships) and substantial character (moveable goods, books, other objects).
The Old Polish period was also a time of flourishing noble and merchant pa-
tronage. The wealthy Szafraniec family donated, right after the University’s res-
toration, the villages of Podstolice, Bogucice and a part of Trątnowice. The family
374
I
also partially funded the purchase of a house for the Greater College. The number
of noble benefactors is great, with larger and smaller donations. A special mem-
ory should go to Bartłomiej Nowodworski (died in 1625). In 1617 he supported
the University with 8000 Zloty to provide salaries for three “private” professors,
who would prepare young candidates for University education (the origin of the
“Nowodworski Schools”). The merchant patronage was almost equally important
to the University. Many names of Cracow’s burghers were mentioned in prayers
for University’s prosperity. A noteworthy patron was the neophyte Christian
named Sara from Cracow, a widow of Smerlin, who in 1412 donated two houses
on the św. Anny Street, today forming a part of the Collegium Maius complex.
Among the patrons from the Old Polish period another important group were
professors themselves. Theye were founders of boarding houses, chairs and
scholarships. Other would leave their whole book collections and priceless sci-
entific instruments to their descendants, the whole achievement of their lives.
Among the most renowned professors, who in 15th and 16th century bequeathed
their possessions to the University, were: Jan, son of Isner, Wawrzyniec from
Racibórz, Jakub from Zaborów, Mikołaj from Brzeźnica, Marcin Król from
Żurawica, Jan Elgot, Andrzej from Kobylin, Jan from Dąbrówka, Marcin Bylica
from Olkusz, Stanisław from Kobylin, Mikołaj from Staw, Jakub from Szadek,
Paweł from Zalesie, Maciej from Kobylin, Wojciech from Szamotuły, Maciej from
Miechów, Tomasz Obiedziński, Stanisław Biel, Marcin Łysy from Cracow, Adam
from Bochyń, Andrzej Góra, Benedykt from Koźmin, Stanisław Szyszka from
Górka, and many others. In the 17th century other joined this circle: Sebastian
Petrycy from Pilzno, Andrzej Schoneus, Jan Brożek, Marcin Radzymiński, Waw-
rzyniec Starnigel, Maciej Sisiniusz, Mikołaj Śmieszkowie from Lwów, and in the
18th century i.a. Jan Józef Pałaszowski and Antoni Józef Żołędziowski.
Examples of beneficience from the Old Polish period were significantly differ-
ent to those characteristic for the later period, when the upkeep of the univer-
sity was taken over by the state. This course of matters, in the age of national
submission, would sometimes evoke the bitter feeling of “living off” a foreign
empire. In 1900, during the 500th anniversary of University restoration in Cra-
cow, professors voluntarily donated money to organize restoration festivities,
wanting to avoid the awkward position of being “subsidized” by the foreign
state. Even if the donation was small, in a clear, symbolic way it made a connec-
tion between the present patrons and those of the old.
Cabinet of Archeology
The Jagiellonian University Museum’s collection features a number of exhib-
its, which once formed a part of the Cabinet of Archeology, created in 1867.
The University’s “collection of antiquities” was created by a notable schol-
ar, Professor Józef Łepkowski. The Cabinet of Archeology was located on the
ground floor of the Jagiellonian Library in the Collegium Maius edifice. It was
Lepkowski’s merit that the collection was expanded by objects from private
donations. Among the benefactors were such distinguished collectors of art,
as Prince Władysław Czartoryski, who bequeathed many ancient Roman and
Etruscan artifacts to the University, including pots, vases and amphoras. Other
notable patrons of the Cabinet were Konstanty Przezdziecki (he contributed the
collection of his father, Aleksander), Justynian Karnicki, Ludwik Michałowski,
Jan Karłowicz, Jan Matejko, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, and Karol Stahel. Another
generous benefactor was Karol Lanckoroński. He made a donation of consider-
able educational value, with almost 200 plaster casts of exquisite antique and
Renaissance-era sculptures.
The Cabinet of Archeology found another excellent organizer in the person of
art historian Professor Marian Sokołowski. He expanded its field of activity by
creating the Cabinet of Art History in 1881. Later, in 1887, the newly construct-
ed Collegium Novum was chosen to become the Cabinet’s safe haven for the
coming decades. The beginning of the Second World War and the following Ger-
man occupation brought all forms of organizational process at the Jagiellonian
University to a halt. The museum collection found a refuge in the Nowodworski
College. Following the war, the plaster casts were transferred to the Jagiellonian
University Museum in the Collegium Maius building, while the rest of the col-
lection remained under care of the JU Institute of Archeology.
The legacy of the Cabinet of Archeology and the later Cabinet of Art and Ar-
cheology were origins of an idea of a general University museum. The JU Mu-
seum stays faithful to this heritage up to the present day.
Donation of Pusłowski family
A special importance to the Jagiellonian University Museum’s collection had the
donation of Franciszek Xawery Pusłowski. The idea of allocating the priceless
collection of the Pusłowski family in the Collegium Maius had been supported
for a certain time by Prof. Karol Estreicher, at the time Museum’s manager. In
1953 a part of the aforementioned collection was handed over to the University,
together with the family’s palace, the annex and garden. Under the act of do-
nation and following negotiations, F.X. Pusłowski made a contribution of 112
carefully picked objects. Among them were a wooden triptych made in late 15th
or early 16th century with a presentation of the Holy Family, many sculptures,
scrollwork coats-of-arms, a marble of bust of one of Cracow’s presidents, and oil
paintings on canvas, mostly made in 17th century. Among noteworthy works of
art, especially worth of attention are: “Venus and Amor”, painted in 1561 by Jan
Massys, and “Ghost of Hamlet’s father” painted ca. 1815 by Eugene Delacroix, as
well as a oil painting portraying King Stanisław August Poniatowski. There were
also works of modern artists, like a few portraits made by Jacek Malczewski, and
a series of his five paintings collectively titled “Rusałki”. The Gdańsk-style fur-
nishings from the dining room in the Pusłowski palace became a part of the Col-
legium Maius’ interior decoration. Among the donated objects were also faience
pottery, glassware, vases, craftsman guild keepsakes, exquisite Gobelin tapes-
tries and embroidered hangings, the most valuable of them coming from Duke
Crequi’s collection. The donation list names the wooden chest of King Henri de
Valois, as well as old and rare prints from the Old Polish age. Franciszek Xawery
Pusłowski died in 1968. Following the court’s judgement from the same year,
the remaining family collection became University’s property, the major part of
it was relocated into the University Museum.
The Pusłowski donation was without any doubt a magnificent and noble ges-
ture made towards the University, and should be also seen as a major achieve-
ment of the Museum’s manager, Prof. K. Estreicher, who was able to convince
the benefactor to put his collection right into Collegium Maius. Therefore, dur-
ing the period of destruction of noble property by the Communist government,
the collection found a safe haven. The Pusłowski collection became an integral
376
I
part of the Jagiellonian University Museum and today it would be almost impos-
sible to imagine Collegium Maius without those objects, forming an important
part of its substance.
The Estreicher family in the history of the Jagiellonian University
The history of the University in Cracow and the fate of the Estreicher family
converged owing to Hugo Kołłątaj, a remarkable reformer of the Cracow’s aca-
demic institution. In 1776 Dominik Oestreicher met Kołłątaj in Italy and soon
after, in 1782, was employed by him at the Main Crown School as a Professor
of Painting. Since then, the Estreicher family integrated with their new home-
land, accepting Polish culture and language as their own, gradually developing
ties, through marriages, with Polish communities. University traditions were
followed by Dominik’s son, Alojzy (1786-1852). In 1808 he took the Chair in
Natural History and Botanies and in the following years he held a number of
posts: Rector, Dean, Administrator of University buildings, museum collection
and botanic garden Curator. Alojzy Estreicher was also a Member of the Sen-
ate of the Free City of Cracow. Alojzy’s son, Karol, later referred to as Senior
(1827-1908), bound his life to the Jagiellonian Library on the premises of Col-
legium Maius. Also the flat where the scholar’s family lived was located there.
Karol Estreicher transformed the Jagiellonian Library into a modern institution,
considerably expanding its resources not only with books but also manuscripts,
engravings, old prints, scores, periodicals and legacy of eminent figures. The
effort he put into developing the Library did not interfere with his scientific
work. Karol Estreicher made history as the author of great bibliography of Pol-
ish printed works since the beginning of printing until his contemporary times.
He bequeathed this work to his son and grandson.
Karol’s sons - Tadeusz and Stanisław also followed the path of a scholarly
career. Stanisław Estreicher (1869-1939) held the following positions: Profes-
sor of Law, Dean of the Law Department and Rector. He greatly contributed to
the development of the Jagiellonian Library and organisation of the Archives of
the Jagiellonian University. Tadeusz Estreicher (1872-1952) was a Chemistry
Professor and a student of Karol Olszewski. He studied the history of science
and stood out as the creator of the Museum of Natural Monuments at the Jag-
iellonian University (1932), whose exhibits were later incorporated i.a. to the
Jagiellonian University Museum Collection. Both brothers were arrested by Ger-
man occupants on November 6th 1939 and, together with other Professors, sent
to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Stanisław died there of emaciation and
lack of medical help.
His son, Karol Estreicher Junior (1906-1984), History of Art Professor, was
also affiliated with the University. During the war he documented the cultural
losses of Poland and after the war he participated in the restitution of the works
of art looted by the Germans. He continued the Polish Bibiography as the Direc-
tor of an autonomous department, initially at the Polish Academy of Sciences
and afterwards at the Jagiellonian University. His life’s work is the Jagiellonian
University Museum which he in fact created, in the beginning as the Deputy for
Adam Bochnak between 1947 and 1951 and later as the Director between 1951
and 1976. Not only did he carry out an extensive restoration of the Collegium
Maius building, but also, owing to determination and personal connections,
equipped the Museum with unique collections and exhibits.
The fate of the Estreicher family, bound since the 18th century with Cracow,
reflected all the good and bad fortune the University experienced throughout
the challenging 19th and the 20th century. Hardly any other professorial family
can be claimed to have had such profound influence on the history of the Jagiel-
lonian University.
Post-1989 contribution to the University
After Poland regained its independence in, the following decades were marked
by economic and political transformation, changing the form of private contri-
bution to the University. In a certain way, it became a secondary aid to its stat-
utory operation, which, by itself, requires a large expenditure from the state.
The Jagiellonian University is a subject to the same development and evalu-
ation process, that all educational and research centers all around the world.
Being the oldest and most prestigious university in the country, it remains
a calling card of Polish education, just like other European universities with
medieval origins. After 1989, this function as a “trademark” was a focus of the
University leadership. It was a sign of the national attention towards the Uni-
versity as the common good that the successful construction of “The 600th Res-
toration Anniversary Campus” was funded by the State Treasury.
The contribution to the University did not stop in the last decades. It remains
a source of prestige, both for itself and the persons or institutions involved in
support. Some extraordinary donations will remain in the academia’s memory
for a long time. In Autumn 1996, Wisława Szymborska (a former JU student)
placed her Nobel Prize Medal in escrow, which became University’s property
after her death. In 1997 pope John Paul II donated the oil painting “St. John Can-
tius adoring Christ and Virgin Mary”. In 2000, Andrzej Wajda officially donated
his honorary Oscar statuette to the Museum collection. He had already made
other donations: the Golden Bear of Berlin, the Golden Lion of Venice, and also
the frock coat he wore during the ceremony in the French Academy, when he
was admitted as one of the “immortals”.
The University Museum, thanks to the benefactors, can further expand its
greatest pride: the collection of scientific instruments made in past centuries,
and collection of art. Especially noteworthy is the donation made by the PZU
Foundation (Polish Insurance Company), which contributed the Adams equa-
torial instrument, a unique astronomical tool made in 18th century. A consider-
able financial gift made by an anonymous benefactor through the JU Founda-
tion enabled the Museum in 2012 to buy the “Lecturing professor” sculpture,
created ca. 1340 in Bologna, therefore dating back to the times of University
foundation in Cracow.
