Summary/Abstract: This article discusses Alfurkan tatarski [Tartar Al Furqan] published by Piotr Czyżewski in 1617, which probably is the second expanded edition of the work. Based upon analysis of two copies of this early printing work, it presents some graphic features of the book. Phonetic and dialectal phenomena, which allow us to draw conclusions about the nature of the author’s language and its regional features, remain in close association with some of the print’s graphic elements.
