Witold Taszycki a polska onomastyka

Witold Taszycki and Polish Onomastics The author of the article discusses the merits of Witold Taszycki, professor of the Jan Kazimierz and Jagiellonian universities (1898–1979), from the perspective of a contemporary Polish onomastician of the middle generation. The author mainly focused on Taszycki’s way of organizing the environment and planning team research on Polish names of people and places. It is justified to think that it was Taszycki, not so much with his own works in the field, but especially through selecting and educating the staff, who, to the greatest extent, determined the present form and research directions of this discipline in Poland.
