- Summary/Abstract:The article discusses the issues connected with the first edition of Kupiec by Mikołaj Rej andexplains the reasons of various transcription solutions in older editions: they resulted from the lackof knowledge of the print possibilities.Further on, the work is devoted to the print format introducing an extratextual order and issuesconnected with work reception. The appearance of principles known from the middle-aged writingsconcerns narratively important places in Kupiec, and despite a far-reaching reconstruction of anoriginal form of Mercator by Naogeorgus, the places highlighted in the publication refer to the ori-ginal beginning of acts and scenes. The structures similar to mnemonic ones, as well as numerousreferences to listening and looking are the evidence of the conventionalization of particular literarymeans. The stageability of Kupiec was not solved, but it was pointed out that the text is addressed toboth a reader, and listener to whom the text will be read aloud.

- Summary/Abstract:The article presents the translations of two 16th century Italian epic poems, that is LodovicAriost’s Orlando Furioso and Torquat Tass’ Jerusalem Delivered by Piotr Kochanowski in the lightof modern editions of both works. According to a contemporary editing practice, the texts wereaccompanied by numerous paratexts: various types of comments, as well as rhymed “allegories” introducinga reader to the content of each song and constituting its interpretation. A Polish translatormade an interesting choice of an “allegory” to Ariost’s epic poem, that is the one by Lodovic Dolce.In the case of Tass’ work, however, he made use of the allegory editions by Orazio Ariost, LodovicAriost’s nephew.These rhymed texts translated by Kochanowski and published by Polish publishers as integralparts of both epic poems have been retained until recently.

- Summary/Abstract:The Radziwiłł family contributed a lot to the history of Polish translations of The Holy Bible.Mikołaj “Czarny” held a patronage over the translation of the so called Brześć Bible in the 16th century,which was consolidated in a poem for a family crest and dedication to Zygmunt August. In the17th century The Radziwiłł Bible was still appreciated in Birże. Surroundings, though, when in needof a reedition, prince Krzysztof held a patronage over the edition which was published in Gdańsk in1632. In the beginning, a dedication to Władysław IV signed by Radziwiłł was inserted. However, itturns out that the manuscript included an original version addressed to Zygmunt III Waza. A comparisonof a manuscript and printed dedication shows many differences deriving from the change ofan addresse. The acts of synods reveal not only difficulties in selling a new translation, but also theattachment to a literary publishing frame of Brześć Bible.

- Summary/Abstract:The article discusses the nature and functions of the elements of a publishing frame of the firsteditions of poetic books written by Wespazjan Kochowski, a 17th century Polish writer. The analysiscovers the titles with subtitles, dedication letters, letters to readers, censorship notes, author’ssignals of beginnings and endings, as well as graphic elements (copperplate engravings and woodengravings decorating frontispieces of old prints). The author comes to a series of conclusions:among others, she states that the frame parts in religious and secular works are different. Kochowskiused to take care a lot of the advertisement of the first editions of his texts. Delimitative parts of hisworks include information on the content, composition and type of poem or author’s inspirations. Indedication letters to secular texts he encouraged to read them, and referred to the Ancient toposestrying to convince the reader of the importance of a literary work. In religious texts, frame elementsare often prayer or hymnic in character and are most often directed at God’s Mother, more seldomat God or God’s Son. The graphic elements of works, copperplate engravings and wood engravingsreferring to the 17th century trends and plastic tendencies are very interesting. They are marked bya well-thought composition, and symmetry whereas the characters and objects presented on themhave a symbolic or allegoric connotation connected with literary motives of Kochowski’s texts. Itallows for making an assumption that the author had a big influence on their formation and locationin his works.

- Summary/Abstract:Adam Mickiewicz provided many of his poetic works with footnotes. In a youth period of hisliterary activity, the very footnotes appeared in among others Ballady i romanse, Grażyna and Sonetykrymskie as well as several shorter texts (such as Kartofla, Mieszko, książę Nowogródka, DoJoachima Lelewela, Popas w Upicie). The footnotes in the texts under investigation were ascribedmaiiny eruditive functions, and constituted a form of uniting readers and influencing their way ofreading. Besides, they were a record of personal experiences of the poet. In the footnotes from thisperiod of time Mickiewicz rejected an image of a naive and romantic individual, instead presentedhimself as a historian-esseist and a political columnist writer, a folklore enthusiast and sophisticatedtourist, humourist and satirist, reporter and philologist. Thus, his footnotes allow for showing hisyouth works from a unique and original perspective.

- Summary/Abstract:The aim of the article is to show how the classics were read on the example of an edition ofRhetoric by Aristotle translated by Hermolao Barbaro (1453/1454—1493), commented upon byMartin Borrhaus (or Cellarius) (1499—1564). This particular work belongs to the valuable onesbecause of the very comments. According to the researcher, the comments in older editions are theevidence of the Deception of the classics and that is why they should be paid a special attentionto. In conclusion, a hypothesis was formulated that there is a very significant difference betweenreading the classics, e.g. Rhetoric by Aristotle, today and e.g. in the mid-16th century. It does notconcern the text of the treatise, but its form: a bilingual text of the treatise and comments on onepage (as in a hypertext to some extent), and, most importantly, comments offering not philologicalsimilia, not the analysis of text genres, but a path leading to text understanding. The commentatordoes not give a finished and unambiguous interpretation, but show how to understand difficult partsof the text and what they mean. The very edition demands reader’s activeness and attention. It isa difficult path, at the end of which one can only hope that the intricacies of the Greek and Latintexts were finally understood.Hence, one can definitely state that Martin Borrhaus’s work show how to deal with a classic textin order to obtain the biggest benefits. Modern tools can only make this contact easier. However, itis only us that the benefit of this meeting depends on.

- Summary/Abstract:The scholars of the Renaissance and Baroque shared the Hugh of St. Victor’s view that “there aretwo main ways of gaining knowledge: reading and reflection, with reading being the primary in theprocess of acquiring knowledge” („Duae praecipue res sunt, quibus quisque ad scientiam instruitur:videlicet lectio et meditatio, e quibus lectio priorem in doctrina obtinet locum”). Thus, one of themost important questions concerning the humanist culture in the early modern period refers to readingpatterns recommended and practised within the respublica litteraria of that time. These models canbe reconstructed among others on the basis of the instruction texts, among which one of the mostwidely-read was a repeatedly published treatise by Francesco Sacchini (1570—1625), an Italian Jesuit,entitled De ratione libros cum profectu legendi (1613). The article presents the contents of this workand the pattern of intensive reading propagated in it, according to which the decisive role was playedby learning precisely, sometimes even by heart, a relatively small collection of model texts treated asthe object of imitation and a source of information (copia rerum et verborum).

- Summary/Abstract:The work discusses the history of the reception of a meditation guidebook by Diego deEstella (1524—1578), a Spanish Franciscan, in the Old-Polish period. He is totally unknownto the contemporary humanities in Poland, however, his work Libro de la vanidad del mundo(O wzgardzie świata i próżności jego, 1562) was famous on an international scale in the 16th,17th and 18th centuries. It was translated into many languages, including Latin, Italian, Germanand English. In 1611 its Polish adaptation by father Augustyn Kochański (1568—1632), a Franciscanas well, was published. The Polish version, though, was not based on the original one,but on the Latin translation prepared on the basis of the Italian translation. The Polish translatordirected the work at Poor Clares above all from Gniezno, whom he took care of spiritually. Heprepared a guidebook for them helping them in concentration and internal training, and directingthoughts at the Creator. Piety, virtuous life, fervent service, contemplation, asceticism, humility,fast, denying oneself, it all was to lead sisters to salvation. Diego de Estella’s work was againworked on by Andrzej Chryzostom Załuski (1648—1711), a bishop from Płock. He translated itfrom the Spanish Medytacje na różne teksty Pisma Świętego by Fray Diego, whereas the guidebook O wzgardzie świata was based on Kochański’s text, by only making the Polish languageof this work modern, and adding it to Medytacje… It was clearly marked on the title page of theWarsaw edition from 1731. The first edition of this adaptation was revealed in 1702. Hence, Diegode Estella’s work gained big interest and long life in the religious culture of the Republic ofPoland for over 100 years, and is worth being paid attention to by the contemporary researchersof religious writings.
