Abstract
German Romantic medicine is an area almost unknown to Polish humanists. The topic had been absent in Polish historiography of medicine until 1989 and the concept had remained unknown. The situation changed in the nineties with an opportunity of long-term research over the European history of science for Polish scholars. The base for the research was both the Western historiography standard and original sources from the era. A monograph published 1999 followed by a second extended edition in 2007 and a series of publications were a result of the research in German libraries conducted as a part of KBN, DAAD and DFG funds. Those publications offered Polish recipients the ideas of German Romantic medicine in their historic and historiographic perspective. The majority of Polish medical students received their Masters or Doctorate diplomas at German universities in nineteenth century so the goal of the research was to investigate an attitude of Polish academia towards the German Romantic standard. It was shown that the attitude was unequivocally negative during the period when this standard was predominant at German universities (1797–1848) and after that in historical analyses. The goal of the article is to present the general characteristic of German Romantic medicine and Polish academia’s attitude towards it until 1863.
