In issue 5(23) from 1994, I published an article entitled “BOLESŁAWIEC OR BOLESŁAW”, in which I quoted the entry about our town from the “Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland and Other Slavic Countries”, published in Warsaw in 1880. In this dictionary (Volume I), our town appears under the entry BOLESŁAW. As it turns out, this is not the only source confirming this name for our town.In Adam Wyślicki’s “Handbook of the Universal Encyclopaedia”, published in Warsaw in 1873, the first part also contains information about Bolesławiec under the entry BOLESŁAW. The entry is several times shorter than the one in the dictionary and reads in the original:Bolesław (Bunzlau), a district town in the district and regency of Liegnitz in Silesia, on the right bank of the Bóbr River, notable for its capture by the Hussites in 1427, surrounded by walls and towers, with a well-organised orphanage and seminary. In 1813, the Russian field marshal Kutuzov died here; two monuments were erected in his honour.An interesting feature of this encyclopaedia is that it also lists two Czech towns named Bolesław (Old and New), giving their German equivalents as Bunzlau (Alt and Jung). The Germans also called our town Bunzlau, so it can be inferred that our Bolesław was translated in the same way.P.S. I would like to thank Mr Edward Kowalczyk from Bogatynia for sending a copy of the entry from this encyclopaedia.
