| Summary: | The main topic of the article is the founding of a general study of the Polish Dominicans. The lengthy and complex research conducted by Krzysztof Kaczmarek and Maciej Zdanek established that the first source-based evidence confirming the activity of Krakow’s studium generale comes from 1404/1405–1410. However, the above dates are just terminus ante quemof the origins of this educational centre. The author focused on an event from 1304–1316, which professional literature on the subject tends to describe as ‘an unsuccesful attempt to create a general study in Krakow.’ A new analysis of the Dominican chapter house documents, the internal dynamic of the order in the early 14th century, as well as the history of the Polish Dominican province, allowed to put forth or re-introduce a previously-abandoned hypothesis into the academic discussion; the hypothesis suggests that, most likely, the general study of the Polish Dominicans was founded in the 14th century already, perhaps soon after the 1304 announcement of changes in the chapter De studentibus. |
