Summary/Abstract: Paweł Rogowski had undertaken a difficult and important task to comprehensively analyse the question of the use of oath in the medieval Polish laws. He discusses the forms and functions of the old oath against its historical and cultural background. His approach, however, is not free of errors and oversimplifications. This review article presents some polemic remarks upon the functioning of the oath in the old Polish laws.
