STRESZCZENIE
The scientific and popular science achievements of Prof. Alojzy Szorc regarding the history of Warmia are
represented by a dozen or so books, numerous articles and source publications. All the studies of the professor
were based on thorough archival research. He was not a master of small forms, but of extensive and reliable creative work. Many articles have 30, 50 or even 70 pages. These are valuable monographic studies relating to specific
issues. All the studies of Prof. Szorc have numerous footnotes, and these are often accompanied by the source text.
He also attached a source supplement in the form of several documents relating to a given topic to some of his
studies. From each publication, historians were able to obtain information relevant for their own research. The
structure of Szorc’s thoughts is simple and logical, and at the same time captured the characteristics of the author’s
personality, Due to its originality, it is difficult to imitate.
The edition of Warmian sources was the second of Prof. Szorc’s scientific achievements. Apart from the
fact that he was personally invested in this work, he believed that source materials should be published for younger
generations of historians, perhaps not so well acquainted with Latin. That is why the source texts in the edition of
Prof. Szorc have fairly extensive summaries in Polish.
Prof. Alojzy Szorc’s scientific achievements are permanently inscribed in the canon of essential works on
the history of modern Warmia.
