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.
