Wykaz Polaków wypromowanych na Uniwersytecie w Bolonii w drugiej połowie XV w.

During the second half of the fifteenth century Polish students frequently arrived to North Italy in order to obtain doctoral degrees. The author analysed this phenomenon at the university of Bologna. Pertinent research shows that during the titular period the university in question was a prime academic centre and the destination of Poles seeking doctoral diplomas. The article presents a list of 21 Poles promoted in Bologna during the second half of the fifteenth century, with each biogramme containing an outline of a career after receiving the degree. Studies in Bologna were chiefly an element of a Church career. As a rule, the courses were attended by persons who already possessed a Church prebend, for whom a doctoral degree offered the perspective of a further and greatly promising career.
