Abstract:

This article is an attempt at outlining a collective portrait of the individuals involved in education and scientific work in the framework of the Commission of National Education. The source base that made this study possible is ‘Komisja Edukacji Narodowej (1773–1794). Słownik biograficzny’ [‘Commission of National Education (1773–1794): A Biographical Dictionary’]. The publication encompasses more than 1,900 individuals that directly participated in the education reform, ie devised the reform concept and implemented it, which is a sufficient basis for characterising the selected professional group functioning in 18th-century Poland. Owing to the fact that the biographical dictionary constitutes the main source of the presented collective portrait, this article also introduces a detailed concept of the publication that has exerted a significant influence on the eventual image of the Commission’s teachers and associates.
