The Lanckoronski Foundation as a benefactor of the Ossolineum

/in /by

In the year of the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Ossolineum the Lanckoronski Foundation once again has assumed the role of the Institute’s benefactor, by granting  the funds required to publish the papers delivered at the conference “Early Printed Books and their Owners”. In 2002 Piotr Piniński, president of the Foundation, gave the Ossolineum a collection of valuable illuminated manuscripts dating from the XV – XIX century, inherited from his ancestor Professor Count Leon Piniński, and in 2016 the Foundation donated a set of miniatures left in 1940 as a wartime deposit in the Ossolineum’s Museum of the Princes Lubomirski by two of Count Karol Lanckoroński’s children, Karolina and Antoni.

In 2017 the publishing arm of the Ossolineum will issue a volume comprising studies entitled “Early Printed Books and their Owners”, being edited by Agnieszka Franczyk-Cegły and Dorota Sidorowicz-Mulak. This book will also contain papers given by participants at the conference organized by the Ossolineum in association with the Consortium of European Research Libraries. The articles relate to research work on the provenances of early printed books and incunabula. The publication will be financed by the Lanckoronski Foundation which is dedicated to the promotion and support of academic research work and publications in the field of the humanities.

The opening of the Permanent Exhibition of the Lanckoroński Miniatures.

/in /by

On July 8th 2016 in Wrocław the Lanckoronski Foundation gave the Ossolineum forty three miniatures from the former collection of the Counts Lanckoroński. Those paintings comprise objects from the 17th to the 19th century and provide a fine example of a family collection showing not only portraits of ancestors but also famous historical figures, painted by excellent artists. On September 23rd 2016 these gifts went on public display in a permanent exhibition housed in the Ossolineum’s Pan Tadeusz Museum.
(see: Exhibition and Educational Programme)

The collection of the 43 Lanckoroński miniatures – the illuminated manuscripts to which the brochure refers are displayed in the drawers.

The collections are displayed in a room designed to create the appearance and atmosphere of a 19th c. library.
