Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the 16th-century Latin manuscript by Bartholomeus of Bydgoszcz, which was a handy notebook containing various exhortations and convent forms. In a very different way, he noted in it almost two hundred Polish words. The ambiguous Latin words were juxtaposed with ambiguous Polish equivalents, and the closeness of some records appears next to entries loosely related. Many entries on the margins are difficult to combine with the main text. For this reason, we cannot determine the meaning for all the words. The presence of the Polish language, mostly in the form of loose expressions and individual words, testifies to the fact that in the relationship of interest to us, the Polish language is more alongside the Latin text than in the text.
