Summary/Abstract: The Kalisz Book of Miracles has underwent several editions, the first of which was published in 1780. The Book was a testimony to the fervent reverence that its author, Rev. Stanisław Kłossowski, held for St Joseph and was to serve the purpose of promoting his cult more widely. The author of the work in question exercised his priestly ministry in the Collegiate Church of Kalisz in the years 1751–1798. The article is an attempt to discuss the fate of the original edition of Rev. Kłossowski’s work, the physical shape of the edition and possible variations, the history of the printing house the book was produced in, as well as the state of preservation in Polish libraries. The impulse to take an interest in the book of miracles originated from a reprint of the work published in 2018 by the Bernardinum Publishing House in Pełpin, which was carried out on the basis of a copy currently kept in the library of the Custodian of Kalisz Collegiate Church.
