Michał Bobrzyński

Life

Bobrzynski was born at Kraków in Galicia. He was educated there, graduating from the gymnasium and the Jagiellonian University. In 1872 he received his LL.D. and the following year became assistant professor in the history of Polish jurisprudence, in 1876 assuming similar duties in regard to German law. In 1877 he became professor of law at the Jagiellonian University.

In 1885–91 he was a member of the Reichsrat and held many other honorary and responsible positions, and in 1890–1901 he was president of the Galician board of education. He was Governor of Galicia in 1908–13.

His most important publications are his Geschichte Polens (1879), which aroused much criticism on account of its bitter attacks on Poland's past, and his contributions to Lencl's Polnische Rechtsdenkmäler (1874–82).
