Summary/Abstract: The author discussed the selected examples of book bindings from the missionary library in Kraków displayed during two exhibitions in the Historical-Missionary Museum of Congregation of the Mission of St. Vincent de Paul in Kraków in 2014. The first one focuses on the diversity of Polish bookbinding from 15th to 18th century, stylistic modifications and changes in technical solutions. Sixteenth century book bindings from Kraków with the characteristic ferrules and rollstamps, made of parchment or paper were presented. The second display was devoted to notes of ownership with a particular attention to super ex libris and provenance notes. Undoubtedly, the most remarkable super ex libris came from King Zygmunt August book collection.
