Summary/Abstract: The objective of the article has been to analyse the religious vocabulary referring to the sphere of sacrum and profanum in the novel Nowe wędrówki Oryginała written by Józef Korzeniowski. Such words may be found both in the introductory realistic part of the investigated text and in the part with fantastical elements. It renders the peasant and petty gentry piety – zealous and attached to tradition, which was in opposition to the corruption of the world outside.The religious vocabulary in the novel in question should be classified as realistic, which confirms the accuracy of placing the literary production of Józef Korzeniowski within the proto-realistic trend.
