On Bruno Schulz’s Bookplates

Abstract

The article is entering into a dialogue with the interpretation of Bruno Schulz’s bookplates made by Władysław Panas in his book Bruno od Mesjasza (Lublin 2001). An attempt to understand them in a different (less holistic) way leads the author of the article to the conclusion that in Schulz’s plates the first veiled of the mythical Book may be seen – of the fundamental motif of Bruno Schulz’s later literary work.
