Abstract

Gryfina, wife of Leszek the Black, duchess of Kraków, Sandomierz and Sieradz and, after her husband's death, a lady of Sącz, was a very important figure in the history of Poland in the 13th century and is certainly an interesting subject for scientific research, but her biography, by Agnieszka Teterycz-Puzio, deeply disappoints the reader and does not meet the requirements for scientific monographs. Few sources on Gryfina have survived and absolutely nothing is known about various parts of her life. This calls into question the possibility of writing a biography of Gryfina. Teterycz-Puzio seems aware of this, but does not draw critical conclusions from this knowledge. Above all,
however, Gryfina's biography shows that Teterycz-Puzio lacks the basic skills that are necessary for a historian of Middle Ages. Teterycz-Puzio is unable to read Latin source texts with understanding, lacks basic source knowledge, is unable to construct a bibliography correctly, and is even unable to make effective use of the cited scholarly works.
Teterycz-Puzio's book should not have appeared as a scientific monograph, as it should have been rejected at the publishing review stage.
