About the Center:
The Center was created in 1997 on the initiative of Professor Adam Karpiński as the Team of Editing and Textual Criticism. In 2000, it was transformed into a center that acts as a discussion forum for literary historians and scholars of other humanities disciplines who are interested in the issues of scholarly editing and textology. The meetings are open editorial gatherings which are held on the third Monday of each month (from October to June). Since 1995, in cooperation with the Association "Pro Cultura Litteraria," the Center has been publishing a series "Biblioteka Pisarzy Staropolskich" [The Library of Old Polish Writers], and since 2000, a series "Biblioteka Pisarzy Polskiego Oświecenia" [The Library of the Writers of the Polish Enlightenment].
The Center is engaged in preparing regulations for editing Old Polish literary texts. Since 2000, as part of the Center’s activities, there have been works carried out to publish the writings of Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Słowacki.
