Nieznany wiersz okolicznościowy orientalisty Tadeusza Kowalskiego

Abstract

An Unknown Occasional Poem by Polish Orientalist Tadeusz Kowalski The question whether Tadeusz Kowalski, the founder of the Oriental philological studies in Poland, should first of all be considered a Turcologist or an Arabist has been disputed many times thus far but no satisfactory answer could be given. A new-found short occasional poem by Kowalski sheds light on the matter because the author calls himself a Turk and he adduces two etymologically Arabic words in their Turkish guise.
