Abstract

Very little is known about the Karaite seals used during time of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The development of the administration in the Russian Empire forced Karaites to use these seals. However the new reality that emerged following the introduction of a new law in the Republic of Poland in 1936 offered them a chance to change some aspects of official Karaite iconography.
