AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Marceli Handelsman – Adam Czartoryski – Complete Set in 3 Volumes (4 Books) – 1948/1951
Description
An exceptional and complete set of the definitive biography of Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, written by the eminent historian Marceli Handelsman. This work is a cornerstone of Polish historiography, detailing the life of one of the most influential diplomats and political figures of 19th-century Europe.
This set is particularly notable for its very low print runs (nakład), ranging from 1,180 copies for the first volumes to as few as 400 copies for the final parts, making complete sets increasingly difficult to find on the market.
