Summary/Abstract: The first Polish translation of the Neo-Latin comedy Chrysis by Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (later Pope Pius II), made by Ewa Skwara. An excellent example of a humanistic comedy that was written in 15th-century Italy as an expression of imitation and creative competition with the works of Plautus and Terence. A full scientific study for researchers in Renaissance humanism, literary scholars, cultural historians and readers interested in theatre.
