Summary/Abstract: The issue of antemurale is also discussed in my book “Polskie przedmurze chrześcijańskiej Europy: mity a rzeczywistość historyczna”. Considering that the work is devoid of critical apparatus due to the current stage in the process of its publication, it does not exhaustively discuss the history of the term, or the formation of its Polish and Latin equivalents (propugnaculum fidei christianae, scutum, clypeus, murus, munimentum or praesidium). I would therefore like to discuss this issue in the present article.
