Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of attribution of the 1559 edition of Liberum Arbitrium by Francesco Negri da Bassano with the ‘Pesclavii’ address, containing references to some Polish Reformation writers (Andrzej Trzecieski, Mikołaj Rej), that are missing from the same year edition pressed by Jean Crespin in Geneva. The printing was attributed to the Daniel of Łęczyca publishing house, recognizing the falsification of the publishing address as an element of Reformation publishing propaganda.
