Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to describe 280 examples of recurrences of Polish entries in the Latin-Polish dictionaries by Bartholomeus de Bydgostia of 1532 and 1544. The first researchers considered these recurrences to be mere mistakes resulting from a long time taken to prepare the dictionaries or from other causes. However, the scale of this phenomenon (4.3%) and its peculiar regularity make one think of another way of interpreting it – as Bartholomeus’ lexicographic method.
