Life

He was born on 7 November 1837 and hailed from an aristocratic family. His father was Jan Bogdan and mother Gabriela née Małachowska. He had two brothers: Jan and Juliusz.[1] He attended St. Anne Gymnasium between 1850–1854 and later studied law and philology at the Jagiellonian University (1855–1858). In the course of his studies he made several trips abroad including to Egypt and the Holy Land. He continued his philological education in Vienna and became involved in the activities of Hotel Lambert. During his stay in Paris he worked in the political bureau of the organization and collaborated with Julian Klaczko and Valerian Kalinka.[2]

During the January Uprising, Tarnowski was connected with the "Biali" ("White") liberal-conservative political faction. He was imprisoned from 1863 to 1865 by the Austrian authorities. After his release from prison in Olomouc, he returned to the country and together with Stanisław Koźmian, Józef Szujski and Ludwik Wodzicki he founded the Przegląd Polski quarterly. The first copy was issued on 1 July 1866.[3]

In 1868, he co-authored Teka Stańczyka, a series of satirical pamphlets on the political situation in Galicia published in the Przegląd magazine.

From 1867 Tarnowski served as member of the Sejm in Galicia. In 1885 he became a member of the Herrenhaus in Vienna.

Between 1871 and 1909, he was a professor and twice Rector of Jagiellonian University. From 1873 he was a member, and from 1890 to 1917 chairman, of the Akademia Umiejetnosci (Polish Academy of Learning).

He died in 1918 in Kraków and was buried at the Rakowicki Cemetery in the Branicki family tomb. In 1937, his family transferred his body to his hometown of Dzików.
