+## `1000_novels` rescreened: unknown authors fail closed, translator death years cited
+
+**Investigated:** 2026-10-06
+**Verdict:** keep 888 of 1,000 texts as `public-domain` (was 837); drop 18 in copyright
+and 94 unresolved. Tracks slayerlabs/polish-dynaword-v2#44.
+
+### Verified
+
+- Screen defect: a known public-domain translator cleared an author whose death year
+  was unknown. `1000_novels_0733` (author "Roux", unidentified) shipped in the
+  first rebuild this way. An unknown author now fails closed unless the work is listed
+  as anonymous.
+- Translator death years now come from Biblioteka Narodowa / VIAF authority records,
+  cited in `polish-dynaword-v2/scripts/novels_rights_screen.py`. Józef Pracki d. 1882,
+  Edmund Cięglewicz d. 1928, Stanisław Sierosławski d. 1941, Bolesław Londyński d. 1928
+  (22 texts), Ludwik Jenike d. 1903, Adam Stögbauer d. 1916, Kazimierz Bronikowski
+  d. 1909, Maria Cumft-Pieńkowska d. 1920, Izydor Berman d. 1942, Konrad Drzewiecki
+  d. 1922, Stefan Frycz d. 1960.
+- "tłum. A. W." on 29 Chekhov texts is Antoni Lange (d. 1929): BN catalogues their
+  source edition (*Śmierć urzędnika*, Bibljoteka Groszowa 1926) with "nazwa właśc. tł.:
+  Antoni Lange".
+- `1000_novels_0981` (Seneca's letter, "PRZEKŁAD", no name) is Żuławski's own
+  translation in his 1914 collection *Bajka o człowieku szczęśliwym*. It is now
+  credited to Seneca with Żuławski as translator.
+- "Roux" is Saint-Pol-Roux (d. 1940), so `0733` stays in on a cited death year.
+- `1000_novels_0462` (*Wola mocy*): BN credits Stefan Frycz (d. 1960) as
+  co-translator. It is dropped although its Wolne Lektury footer says public domain. The
+  screen's footer cross-check allowlists it by name.
+- Net: 53 unresolved and 10 Wolne-Lektury-footer rows move to public domain by term;
+  1 Wolne-Lektury-footer row moves to in copyright.
+
+### Not established
+
+- "A. L." (`1000_novels_0734`, Schopenhauer 1901): BN records the cryptonym only. The
+  row still rests on its Wolne Lektury footer (Inferred).
+- Edition rights (Art. 99¹–99²); dedup against `wolne_lektury` / `eltec_pol` (#45).
+
+**Lesson:** a Wolne Lektury public-domain footer is a claim, not evidence. One of the
+12 it covered had a translator who died in 1960.
+
+**Update (2026-10-06, maintainer decision):** the screen no longer keeps a row on a
+Wolne Lektury public-domain footer. "A. L." (`1000_novels_0734`) now fails closed as
+unresolved, so the release keeps 887 texts and drops 18 in copyright and 95 unresolved.
