From Handwriting to Printing, or on Joining what the Poet Disjoined... An Academic Edition of Wacław Potocki’s “Odjemek od »Herbów Szlacheckich«” (“A Fragment of »Heraldry«”). Review: Dariusz Piotrowiak, Odjemek od „Herbów Szlacheckich”...

Summary/Abstract: Literary historians researching Wacław Potocki’s vast output have to this day rather disregarded “Odjemek od »Herbów szlacheckich«” (“A Fragment of »Heraldry«”), viewing it only as a peculiar addition to, nomen omen, “Poczet herbów” (“Heraldr”y) written in verse and published in 1696. Editors have treated “Fragment” with similar neglect; when preparing selection of the Baroque writer’s works, they either omitted the collection altogether or included morely a few text from it, while the only 1997 edition to this day contains numerous errors. All those deficiencies are corrected by Dariusz Piotrowiak’s superb monograph (2023) where reliable remarks included in genuine introduction and in “Komentarz edytorski” (“Editorial Commentary”) are followed by almost faultlessly given complete collection of texts with conscientious footnotes. The book restores Potocki’s work to the Polish reader.
