Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce is published annually by the Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. The articles published in the journal focus mainly on the Polish and European Renaissance and the Reformation (from its beginnings in the Polish lands to the 17th century). The journal publishes also editions and translations from classical languages (mainly short works from the 15th and 16th centuries), and reviews of new publications thematically related to the Journal’s profile.
Founded in 1956, Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce followed in the tradition of the annual Reformacja w Polsce, published irregularly between 1922 and 1952. Its first editor-in-chief in 1957–1964 was Prof. Kazimierz Lepszy (Jagiellonian University). The researcher of early Polish culture and the history of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation in Poland, Prof. dr hab. Janusz Tazbir (IH PAS) cooperated with the Journal for sixty years, first as a member of the Editorial Board and Secretary, then its editor-in-chief (1965–2006), and next a member of the Advisory Committee. A significant impact on the final shape of the Journal has been made by Prof. dr hab. Lech Szczucki (IPhS PAS), deputy editor-in-chief (1975–2003), editor (2004–2006), member of the Editorial Board (2007–2019). Next, the Journal was headed by: dr hab. Adam Manikowski (IH PAS) – between 2007 and 2011; and Prof. dr hab. Piotr Salwa (University of Warsaw) – between 2007 and 2012. Since 2012, the position of editor-in-chief has been occupied by Prof. dr hab. Wojciech Kriegseisen (IH PAS). He heads the Editorial Team, which, apart from historians, includes representatives of other humanistic disciplines. The Editorial Board also includes outstanding researchers from foreign research centres: Prof. Hans-Jürgen Bömelburg, Prof. dr hab. Jan Miernowski, and Dr Margarita Korzo
