intellectual for whom, despite his religious rank, studies in numismatics and

social position allowed him. Chancellor of the Greek Catholic Church, bishop of
Przemyśl and deputy marshal of the Galician Diet, he also was a correspondent of the Viennese Central Commission for the
Protection of Monuments in 1866-1890.

became a member of the City Council
and many societies. In 1865-1874, he collaborated with conservator Mieczysław Potocki as a correspondent of the
Central Commission for the Protection of Monuments.
