Storico, geografo e uomo politico polacco, nato a Varsavia il 22 marzo 1786, morto a Parigi il 29 maggio 1861. Frequentò l'università di Vilna (1801-04), ove, dopo alcuni anni trascorsi a Krzemieniec e Varsavia, ritornò nel 1815 quale docente di storia generale.
Opere. Storico di vasta erudizione, di formazione tra illuministica e romantica, si occupò del passato, soprattutto medievale, del suo paese, e inoltre di scienze ausiliarie ( Numismatique du Moyen âge, 1835; Géographie du Moyen âge, 5 voll., 1848-57).
In 1828, Joachim Lelewel became a deputy to the Sejm of the Kingdom of Poland, where – affiliated with the ‘Kalisz party’ – he advocated freedom of the press, openness of Sejm sessions and liberalisation of family law.
To Joachim Lelewel, the Partition of the Rzeczpospolita (as he refers to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) was a recent memory, and his growing interest in it paralleled, primarily, his growing reputation as a serious scholar.
