abstract
The Galician Autonomy created right conditions for the development of historical and legal sciences at the Jagiellonian University. The Polonisation of the University boosted research on the sources of Polish law and its scholarly editing according to the principles of the German historical school. Since the Polish law had lost its binding force, it could only be studied in terms of its historical development. That enabled the application of the historical research method, consisting in scholarly editing and critical analysis of the sources of Polish common law. The first scholar in Cracow to be influenced by the German historical school was Antoni Z. Helcel (1808–1870). In the Autonomy period his research was continued by the legal-historical school established at the Jagiellonian University and lead by profesor Michał Bobrzyński (1849–1935). The academic achievements of the Cracow school played an important role in sustaining the national identity during the time of political bondage. The dissemination of knowledge about the sources of Polish common law was one of the elements of building national consciousness and tradition. The historians of law at the Jagiellonian University also used new research methods, such as legal-comparative method. Using this approach, professor Stanisław Estreicher (1869–1939) transformed the university course on the history of German state and law into a course on the universal history of law.
