Abstract

The article presents the unpublished original of Cyprian Norwid’s birth certificate, which was found in Dąbrówka parish records, and examines archival documents as well as Norwid’s writings, specifically ones where the poet makes references to his birth date, taking also into account the findings of Zenon Przesmycki and Juliusz Wiktor Gomulicki.
