The first three vol- umes were published before world war ii, in the years 1931-1936, and elaborated primarily by kazimierz Bulas and, to a lesser extent, by Edmund Bulanda, who took part in the project mostly in the capacity of the series editor. These volumes were published by the Polish acad- emy of arts and sciences (Polska akademia Umiejętności – PaU) in Cracow, under auspices of the Union académique internationale (Uai). They included not only the most prominent and most valuable collections, such as the famous Gołuchów collection of the Czartoryski family (volume 1), or the Cracow collection in the Princes Czartoryski Museum, but also smaller collections of the Jagiellonian University (JU) and the National Museum in Cracow (volume 2), and finally other small collections inw ilanów, Poznań, warsaw, Vilnius, Łańcut and many other places (volume 3). -
