Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to show possibilities of use of the new edition of "Wybór tekstów z dziejów języka polskiego", edited by Marek Cybulski (Łódź 2015) in the research of subfields of historical linguistics. First, the author briefly presents the anthology and then – rather than searching for language changes – focuses on the expression of continuity of the selected developments in three areas: systemic and lexical, stylistic and pragmatic and that of linguistic awareness. In conclusion, the author stresses that by recognizing a groupof stable features on each language level we can expand our knowledge of history of language. We can also facilitate observation and prediction of the development of the current Polish language in which most of the undergoing processes have a long tradition.
