Adam Honory Kirkor (21 January 1818 – 23 November 1886) was a Polish publisher, journalist and archeologist.
Biography
Adam was born in Sliwino on 21 January 1818, finishing school in Mogilev. From 1834 to 1866, he worked in Vilnius, later in Saint Petersburg and Kraków. He was part of the Vilnius Archaeological Commission from 1855. In 1859, Adam bought a printing house from Christian Theophilus Glücksberg[1] and started printing books, along with newspapers in Polish, Lithuanian and Russian.
Adam became part of the Russian Imperial Archaeological Society in 1856, taking part in the writing of Orgelbrand's Universal Encyclopedia. His name is featured in the first volume of the encyclopedia.[2] He joined the Moscow Archaeological Society in 1864.[3]
Despite his activity in such projects he went bankrupt, eventually moving to Kraków. Adam helped in transforming the Kraków Scientific Society into the Academy of Learning, which he was appointed part of in 1873. From 1875, he started participating in archaeological excavations near Kraków.[4]
Adam was married to Helena Kirkorowa until 1857 due to her leaving him for another man.[5] After the divorce, he married Maria Celestyna Boczkowska.
