W sporze o Długosza argument nowy: przejątki z Petrarki w Rocznikach Jana Długosza
New argument in the dispute about Długosz: textual excerpts from Petrarch in the Annals of Jan Długosz

Summary/Abstract: This article shows how Polish chronicler Jan Długosz used the works of Petrarch. The examination is based on computer-assisted comparative analysis as well as on philological methods. The article describes the manuscripts containing Petrarch’s works which Długosz had at his disposal, and tries to respond a question when the chronicler (in what periods of his life) got with them in touch. It also analyses Długosz’ methods of drawing textual excerpts he inserted into his chronicle. Besides, the arguments supporting hypothesis about the existence of chronicler’s special catalogue, in which he might have collected the extracts from various sources, are considered. Finally, his method of the use of sources is characterised in more detail.
