O “votum separatum” w obronie Ignacego Koschembahra-Łyskowskiego w 1903 r. złożonym, czyli o sporze o zwyczajną profesurę z prawa rzymskiego na Uniwersytecie we Lwowie

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present a hitherto unknown episode from the life of the Polish romanist Ignacy Koschembahr-Łyskowski, connected with his attempt to obtain a full professorship at the University of Lviv. This scientist moved from Freiburg to Lviv at the end of the 19th century, where he continued his academic career. In 1903, the matter of occupying the chair of Roman law arose, and the romanist was one of the two candidates put forward, beside Marceli Chlamtacz. Eventually, the application for appointment, addressed to the Ministry, included only the name of Chlamtacz. This provoked opposition from some scholars who formulated a dissenting opinion in defence of Koschembahr-Łyskowski. The intention of the author of this study is to analyse this previously unknown document prepared in defence of Koschembahr-Łyskowski.
