Michalowski (1901-1981), the father of the Polish archaeology, worked in Delphi projects for many years in the 1930s under the auspices of the French School of Athens.. He worked alongside the French but independently. As Sikelianos, he did not see only stones, he saw the Delphic idea. In this scientific publication in Polish he explores the Oracle after his own researches on the site as a spiritual center of the ancient Greek world. A very important scientific publication for Delphi.
