Ponownie odnaleziona Gryzelida (1641) Macieja Głoskowskiego – przyczynek do dziejów recepcji Petrarki w Polsce
Rediscovery of Gryzelid (1641) by Maciej Głoskowski – A Contribution to the History of Petrarch’s Reception in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The hereby article provides information about the copy of Gryzelida (1641) by Maciej Głoskowski, which was purchased by the National Library in Warsaw in 1965. Although this purchase was noted by Alodia Kawecka-Gryczowa in her 1975 study, the printed specimen was still regarded as being lost. Bibliographers and literary historians referred to the description of the work and a reprint of a short fragment by Andrzej Edward Koźmian dated on 1845. Głoskowski’s poem is a relatively faithful paraphrase of Petrarka’s Latin modification of the last short story from Boccaccio’s Decameron. Głoskowski treated Gryzelda not only as a model of unconditional submission to her husband, but also as a monument of female virtues.
