Jan Stanisławski (lexicographer)

Jan Stanisławski (lexicographer)

Jan Stanisławski (1893–1973) was a Polish lexicographer.

Before World War II, as a lecturer in English at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, Stanisławski compiled an English-Polish, Polish-English dictionary. This one-volume dictionary was reprinted during World War II in Great Britain (first reprint, March 1940).

Stanisławski subsequently augmented this modest dictionary into what became "The Great English-Polish, Polish-English Dictionary" ("Wielki słownik angielsko-polski, polsko-angielski") published (variously, in 2 or 4 volumes) in Poland.
