Source: see https://books.google.com/books?id=R-MkT9vavwIC&q=The+History+of+Polish+Literature (p. 256, book available through Internet Archive as well) "the most prolific of Polish novelists left a work encompassing some seven hundren volumes - which must be reckoned among the highest outputs ever on the world scale" or https://books.google.com/books?id=9Tbed6iMNLEC&dq=%22J%C3%B3zef+Ignacy+Kraszewski%22+biography&pg=PA17 (page 17) "In the hands of [JIK], the historical novel assumed the proportions of a mass industry. In a liftetime of unpararelled productivity, Kraszewski wrote over five hundred works..." For the count of "over 200 novels", see sources cited in the first sentence and paragraph of section "Reception", where figure 223 is cited (I think we don't need a precise figure for the lead/hook)
