Maria Dembińska

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maria Dembińska (born February 21, 1916 , † November 1, 1996 in Warsaw , Poland ) is a Polish historian whose research focus was nutritional history.

Life

Maria-Anna-Zofia Dembińska, née Goluchowska, was the daughter of Count Wojciech Maria Agenor Gołuchowski and his wife Countess Zofia-Maria Gołuchowska (Baworowska).

Works

Her dissertation, published in 1963, deals with Polish food culture in the Middle Ages . Due to the language, her works initially only appeared in Eastern Europe. As early as 1973, however, she published an English synopsis of her research on Polish nutritional history, making her results available to Western historians for the first time. The publication was made more difficult by the fact that Maria Dembińska came to different results in her research and wanted a view of a Marxist-determined doctrine. It was not until 1999 that a summary of her research work was published in book form in English.
