Ariański poeta, „mędrsza niewiasta” i uczony starzec. O nieznanej bohaterce „Spraw abo historyj znacznych niewiast” Erazma Otwinowskiego w świetle źródeł i intertekstów zbioru
An Arian Poet, “Wiser Woman,” and Learned Sage on sn Unknown Heroine of Erazm Otwinowski’s “Sprawy Abo Historyje Znacznych Niewiast” (“Affairs or Histories of Notable Women”) in the Light of the Collection’s Sources and Intertexts

Summary/Abstract: The paper serves to delineate the figures of early modern Protestant women included in Erazm Otwinowski’s paraenetic poetic collection Sprawy abo historyje znacznych niewiast (Affairs or Histories of Notable Women, 1589), namely Anne Askew, Jane Grey, Olympia Fulvia Morata and an anonymous “duchess,” presumably Vittoria Colonna or Caterina Cibo. As its purpose, the article accomplishes an identification of possible (oral or written) sources of information about the heroines and interpretation of intertextual references made by the poet. All that allows the author to depict the parenetic patterns for pious women that Otwinowski outlined, combining apology of martyrdom, learnedness, and religious exile.
