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,[1] 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).[2]

Stanisławski, with the assistance of Wiktor Jassem, subsequently augmented this modest dictionary into what became Wielki słownik angielsko-polski [The Great English-Polish Dictionary] (first published 1964)[3] and Wielki słownik polsko-angielski [The Great Polish-English Dictionary] (first published 1969), both of which have been reprinted many times subsequently.[1]
