Description
The present selection of Andrzej Mostowski's work comprises within one edition the most important of his papers, written during nearly forty years of scholarly activity and scattered so far over various publications. Some of them have been translated from Polish, French or German. In selecting the papers, the Editorial Committee aimed at including, on the one hand, the most important of A. Mostowski's contributions to mathematics and, on the other hand, those papers which have preserved their topical interest and are the most frequently quoted ones. In the five introductory articles (pp. XIX-XLIV, vol. I) which discuss the main trends in A. Mostowski's research, the numbers of bibliographical reference marks refer to the full bibliography or A. Mostowski's works included in volume one. Most of A. Mostowski's papers, which were originally published in English, have been reproduced photographically without any changes. In those papers, a double pagination occurs: at the outer corners the running pagination of the volume, and at the inner corner, in square brackets, the reference to the complete bibliography and the pagination of the original version. It is intended to facilitate the use of the international reference marks within each paper which refer to the original page number.
