Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the phenomenon of the reception of foreign book illustrations, illustrated broadsheets, and copperplate series on the example of two editions of Marcin Bielski's Kronika wszystkiego świata [Chronicle of the Whole World] (1554 and 1564). The discussed examples complement the knowledge of the illustrations of the Chronicle and their sources, and of contacts of Cracow publishers with printers from other centres as well as with their output.
