History

• The Society of Jesus opened a college in Lwów in 1608, and an earlier attempt to obtain university status in 1589 had failed, because the authorities of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków saw every new academy in the kingdom as a rival and blocked the plan for years.耶稣会于 1608 年在利沃夫开办学院，而 1589 年争取大学地位的首次尝试已经失败，因为克拉科夫雅盖隆大学当局把王国境内每一所新学院都视作竞争对手，多年阻挠该计划。
• On 20 January 1661 King and Grand Duke John II Casimir granted the college a charter conferring the honour of an academy and the title of a university, a grant confirmed by a second decree issued at Częstochowa on 5 February 1661.1661 年 1 月 20 日，国王兼立陶宛大公约翰二世·卡齐米日授予该学院特许状，赋予其学院之荣誉与大学之称号，这一授权又经 1661 年 2 月 5 日在琴斯托霍瓦颁布的第二道敕令确认。
• The timing was political, since the Treaty of Hadiach of 1658 promised an Orthodox Ruthenian academy in Kyiv and another in an unnamed city, and the Jesuits feared the second would be founded in Lwów on the basis of the Orthodox Brotherhood school.这一时机带有政治考量，因为 1658 年《哈佳奇条约》承诺在基辅与另一座未指名的城市各建一所东正教鲁塞尼亚学院，耶稣会担心第二所会建在利沃夫，并以东正教兄弟会学校为基础。
• Because no city could hold two academies, the royal mandate elevating the Jesuit college pre-empted that plan, and the charter was issued with the personal support of a king sympathetic to the order.由于一座城市不得拥有两所学院，把耶稣会学院升格为大学的王室敕令抢先阻断了上述计划，特许状的颁发也得到了一位同情该修会的国王的亲自支持。
• In 1758 King Augustus III issued a decree describing the college as an academy equal in status to the Jagiellonian University, with faculties of theology and philosophy.1758 年，国王奥古斯特三世颁布敕令，称该学院为与雅盖隆大学地位相当的学院，设有神学与哲学两个学院。
• Austria annexed Lwów in 1772 and the university became the German-named Lemberg institution, while the suppression of the Jesuits by Rome in 1773 removed the order that had run it and the school was renamed Theresianum as a state academy.1772 年奥地利吞并利沃夫，大学改以德语名伦贝格行世，1773 年罗马教廷取缔耶稣会，管理该校的修会随之退出，学校被改建为国家学院并更名为特蕾西亚学院（Theresianum）。
• On 21 October 1784 Emperor Joseph II signed the act founding a secular university with four faculties, theology, philosophy, law and medicine, and began to Germanise it by recruiting German-speaking professors from across the empire.1784 年 10 月 21 日，皇帝约瑟夫二世签署法令，创办一所设有神学、哲学、法学与医学四个学院的世俗大学，并通过从帝国各地延聘德语教授推行日耳曼化。
• Latin remained the official language with Polish and German as auxiliaries, and the Studium Ruthenium, a special institute running from 1787 to 1809, trained candidates for the Greek Catholic priesthood in the literary Ruthenian of the period.拉丁语仍为官方语言，波兰语与德语为辅助语言，1787 至 1809 年间运作的鲁塞尼亚学馆（Studium Ruthenium）则以当时的书面鲁塞尼亚语培养东仪天主教神职人员的候选人。
• In 1805 the university was closed because Austria, engaged in the Napoleonic Wars, could not fund it, and it continued as an academic lyceum with four faculties until it was reopened in 1817, when German replaced Latin as the language of teaching.1805 年，因卷入拿破仑战争的奥地利无力负担经费，大学被关闭，改以学术中学的形式保留四个学院，直到 1817 年重新开办，德语也在此时取代拉丁语成为教学语言。
• When the 1848 revolution reached Lemberg, students formed the Academic Legion and the Academic Committee and demanded that the university be Polonised, and on 2 November 1848 troops under General Hammerstein shelled the city centre, hitting the university buildings and especially the library.1848 年革命波及伦贝格时，学生组建「学术军团」与「学术委员会」，要求大学波兰化，1848 年 11 月 2 日哈默施泰因将军麾下部队炮击市中心，击中校舍，图书馆受损尤重。
• Teaching resumed in January 1850 with limited autonomy, and on 4 July 1871 Emperor Franz Joseph I lifted the restrictions on the use of Polish and Ruthenian as languages of instruction in the faculties of law and philosophy.教学于 1850 年 1 月在有限自治下恢复，1871 年 7 月 4 日皇帝弗朗茨·约瑟夫一世解除对法学与哲学学院使用波兰语和鲁塞尼亚语授课的限制。
• Polish became the language of internal administration in 1871 and the principal language of instruction in 1879, with Ruthenian and German as auxiliaries, a settlement that provoked protests from Ukrainian students and politicians.波兰语于 1871 年成为校内行政语言，1879 年进而成为主要教学语言，鲁塞尼亚语与德语降为辅助语言，这一安排引发乌克兰学生与政治人物的抗议。
• In 1908 a Ruthenian philosophy student, Miroslaw Siczynski, assassinated Andrzej Kazimierz Potocki, the Polish governor of Galicia, an act that exposed the depth of the national conflict inside the university.1908 年，鲁塞尼亚哲学系学生米罗斯瓦夫·西琴斯基（Miroslaw Siczynski）刺杀了加利西亚波兰总督安杰伊·卡齐米日·波托茨基，这一事件暴露了大学内部民族冲突的深度。

• Ivan Franko studied at the university in the 1870s, Mykhailo Hrushevsky took the new chair of world history and the history of Eastern Europe in 1894, and in 1904 the university organised a summer course in Ukrainian studies for students from eastern Ukraine.伊万·弗兰科于 1870 年代在此求学，米哈伊洛·赫鲁舍夫斯基 1894 年出任新设的世界史与东欧史教席，1904 年学校又为来自乌克兰东部的学生开设乌克兰学暑期课程。
• In December 1910 Ukrainian women students formed a women's branch of the student union with twenty members, and in July 1912 they met a Jewish women's branch to discuss the representation of women in the student body.1910 年 12 月，乌克兰女学生成立学生会妇女部，成员二十人，1912 年 7 月她们与犹太女学生组织会面，讨论女性在学生群体中的代表权。

• Interwar Lwów was the second academic centre of Poland and Jan Kazimierz University the third largest university in the country, with schools of mathematics around Stefan Banach and Hugo Steinhaus, of logic around Kazimierz Twardowski, and of history and law around Oswald Balzer.战间期的利沃夫是波兰第二大学术中心，扬·卡齐米日大学则是全国第三大大学，形成了以斯特凡·巴拿赫与胡戈·施泰因豪斯为核心的数学学派、以卡齐米日·特瓦尔多夫斯基为核心的逻辑学派，以及以奥斯瓦尔德·巴尔策为核心的历史与法学学派。
