Summary/Abstract: The article gathers information about the manifestations of Armenian written culture associated with Piotrków Trybunalski in the 16th and 17th century. These documents include above all privileges, a legal statute promulgated in 1519 and only one colophon which was here inscribed to a lectionary from 1639. The creation of these documents was associated with the fact that there were groups who lobbied in favour of the Armenian communities during the sessions of Polish regional parliaments and the sessions of the Crown Tribunal, the supreme judicial instance of the Polish Kingdom.
