The Raphael Taubenschlag Foundation was created in 2001. From the beginning, its goal was to work towards the development of papyrological studies at the University of Warsaw and to create favourable conditions for the cooperation with academic centres in Poland and abroad. The Foundation owes its name to Raphael Taubenschlag, a professor of Roman law and papyrology, and one of the founding fathers of Warsaw papyrology after World War II. In 1946, Taubenschlag established the Journal of Juristic Papyrology in collaboration with Jerzy Manteuffel. He was also a teacher of a number of oustanding papyrologists and legal historians.
