The first three volumes 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 academy 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). after wwii, under the communist regime in Poland, CVA was revived, but instead of PaU, which had been closed down, the publisher became the Polish academy of sciences (Pol- ska akademia Nauk – PaN), which had just been established by the new government. The author of the consecutive volumes, comprising the collection of the National Museum in warsaw (CVA Varsovie, Musée National 1-6, Pologne 4-9, 1960-1976), was Maria Ludwika Bern- hard (1908-1998), distinguished Polish archaeologist and ancient art historian, specialising in Greek vase painting. after the downfall of the communist regime in Poland in 1989, PaU was restored and has become CVA publisher again science 1991, with the last volume in the Polish series so far (CVA Varsovie, Musée National 7, Pologne 10), again by Bernhard. PaU authorities, supported by professor Bernhard, had considered re-edition of the pre-war volumes for some time already. after more than 70 years after the publication of the first of these volumes the research circumstances are different, the rules concerning the elaboration have changed, the description and analysis of the objects is more thorough than before, and the technical opportunities are also different now that the digital editions are available. From the very beginning the main advocate of the new edition of the pre-war volumes has been professor Janusz k. kozłowski, the current director of the PaU Class ii of History and Philosophy, and since 2010 also the President of the Uai. The initiative received support from the international CVA Committee within the Uai, which resulted in establishing the new Polish National CVA Committee, affiliated to PaU, to carry out the project, with the author of this volume as its director and the editor of the whole series. The publisher had decided that new fascicles would be numbered as consecutive volumes of Polish CVAs. as it has already been mentioned, ten volumes have appeared until present, therefore the current volume was given no. 11. The Committee then agreed that the Cracow collections should be prepared first. in Cracow we have three main collections of ancient vases: the Czartoryski Foundation collection stored at the Princes Czartoryski Museum, the University collection, and that of the National and archaeological Museums. it was decided that the first to be elaborated would be the Uni- versity collection, which contains numerous vases stored at the JU institute of archaeology (over 250 objects), and four vases from the JU Museum. during the work on the first volume 8 of the new series of Polish volumes of CVA it turned out that a monograph including all vases from the University collection would be too large for one volume, therefore the collection was divided into two parts. The current first volume contains all vases with painted decoration from the institute of archaeology and all vases from the Museum. The remaining vases from the collection of the institute of archaeology will be included in next volume (CVA Cracow 2, Poland 12, in preparation by the present author). The next volume of the new series, which is already being prepared by dorota Gorzelany Phd, curator at the National Museum in Cracow, will include the Czartoryski Foundation collection (this will be the CVA Cracow 3, Poland 13). The Gołuchów collection will be published in two parts. The main body of the collection, kept in warsaw National Museum, will be published by the current author (CVA Poland 14), while the smaller part, exhibited in the Gołuchów castle (nowadays a branch of the National Museum in Poznań) will be elaborated by the curators of the Gallery of ancient art of this Museum (CVA Poland 15). Following these volumes the remaining pre-war collections will be published.

The collection of the institute of archaeology of the Jagiellonian University (JU) consist mostly of objects collected by the former JU archaeological Cabinet, which was opened in 1867, thanks to the efforts of archaeology professor and rector of our university, Józef Łepkowski. This collection, which supported the activities of the first Chair of Classical archaeology in Poland, established in 1897 at the JU in Cracow, and directed by Piotr Bieńkowski, consists of original objects belonging to various Mediterranean cultures (currently over 700 objects) and plaster casts (over 100 works). The most numerous among the original artefacts belong to the so-called small finds and material culture objects, such as ceramic vessels (which are presented in the current publication), lamps, terracotta figurines, bronzes, coins, glass etc. The main group of these belongs to the vast expanse of Classical culture: Greece, italy, Cyprus, asia Minor, North africa, Black sea coast, and are dated from the Bronze age to Late an- tiquity. a smaller group consists of artefacts from Egypt and the Near East (one object from Mesopotamia). Many of these objects have considerable scientific and artistic value, they are also of extreme educational significance, and contribute to the history of Polish culture. This collection was created mainly by donations and is a testimony to the generosity of our citi- zens, who presented numerous gifts to the oldest Polish university, in particular in the first years after the Cabinet was established. among the donors we encounter representatives of aristocracy, such as władysław Czartoryski (who presented 115 vases in 1872), wealthy gentry, as for instance stanisław Larysz-Niedzielski, high military commanders, who were forced by fate to live their lives away from their fatherland, as general karol stahel, well known artists, as Jan Matejko, Polish writers and intellectuals from all over the world, and last but not least professors of our University, such as kazimierz Bulas. it is worth mention- ing that during the Partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, when Poland lost its political independence (1795-1918), such donations were perceived as expression of patriotic feelings, because they enriched Poland’s cultural heritage (on the history of the Cabinet, its benefactors and collection see Egipt, Grecja, Italia... 2007 and Śliwa 2011). during all the years since the establishment of the archaeological Cabinet, when the collection suffered varied fates and kept changing its name, the vases, as well as other artefacts, were rarely exhibited. only for a short time (1887-1921) was the collection given a proper space, and was displayed in the main building of the University, the Collegium Novum. in the years that followed it was hardly accessible even for researchers and archaeology students, due to accommodation difficulties. Unfortunately, such circumstances continued also afterww ii. in 1 Michael Turner, Bryn Mawr Classical Review online 2005.08.30. 2 Cf. E.
