Summary/Abstract: The present paper focuses on friendship’s role in life and poetry of Klemens Janicki (1516–1543). Unfortunately there is a noticeable lack of sources and testimonies. The analysis of poetical works written by Janicki is onlypartially useful. In the epoch of the Renaissance very often the statements on friendship were exaggerated.Despite of these circumstances it is possible to analyze the poetical techniques used in texts about friends andfriendship. The paper ends with an attempt to describe the nature of Ianicius’ relationships with his friends.
