Tadeusz Andrzejewski (1923–1961) and His Contribution to Polish Egyptology

Abstract

When studying the history of Polish Egyptology, it is difficult to ignore the various references to Tadeusz Andrzejewski (1923–1961), who is, in fact, still a poorly-known scholar. Yet, despite his premature death, he has left numerous Egyptological publications. In this paper, I would like to shed some light on Andrzejewski and his contribution to Polish Egyptology with the help of some previously unpublished documents.
