Summary/Abstract: This article describes the bindings of three sixteenth-century prints that once belonged to the rich collection of Wojciech Mieliński, who was the Abbot of Trzemeszno and who died in 1621. The decoration of these bindings indicates that thay most probably came from Melchior Nering’s bookbinding workshop while that craftsman was still connected with Poznań. The three volumes in question are currently kept in the Archdiocesan Archives in Gniezno.
