Mecenat nad bibliografiami dziedzinowymi w okresie zaborów

Patronage played a tremendous role in publishing subject bibliographies after the partitions of Poland. Patronage in publishing referred mainly to financial support granted to compile or print a bibliography. The issuance was undertaken by printers, booksellers, renowned Polish patrons and authors of the bibliographies themselves. In the mid-nineteenth century individual patronage started to wane and was gradually replaced by more anonymous and collective market forces. Established in 1872, Akademia Umiejetnosci was ranked high among the most active institutional patrons, promoting such masterpieces as Bibliografia historii polskiej by Ludwik Finkel (Parts 1–3, 1891– 1914), Bibliografia ludoznawstwa polskiego by Franciszek Gawełek (1914) and Bibliografia słowianoznawstwa polskiego by Edmund Kołodziejczyk (1911).
