Polemika Władysława Konopczyńskiego z Mieczysławem Skibińskim
Streszczenie
A famous polemic between Władysław Konopczyński and Mieczysław Skibiński took place in the
interwar period in Cracow. Konopczyński in „Historical Quarterly” criticized Skibiński’s dissertation
titled: Europe and Poland in the era of the War for the Austrian Succession in the years
1740–1745. After closing the polemic by the editors, the dispute between historians moved to the
meetings of the Krakow branch of Polish Historical Society, Historical Commission of the Polish
Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Philosophy of the Jagiellonian University. After years
Konopczyński prevented Skibiński from carrying out his habilitation process at the Jagiellonian
University, which brought about his mental breakdown. After the Second World War, the conflict
finally expired.
