The Unknown Book from the Library of Sigismund II Augustus in the Collection of the Carmelite Monastery at Piasek, Kraków

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is a recently discovered printed book from the library of the King Sigismund II Augustus, currently preserved in the monastery of Carmelites of the Ancient Observance in Kraków. The book contains legal texts published in the middle of the 16th century, and was once part of a large collection of legal works belonging to the King, especially books devoted to the revived Roman law. The collection had a comprehensive character, involving multiple languages and wide range of subjects, which proved its Renaissance character as well as its European dimension. After the King’s death in 1572, his library was dispersed. The book in question belonged first to Wojciech Perlicki, who died in 1607, then to the Cathedral Chapter in Lviv, next to the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance in Lviv, and only after the Second World Warit found itself in the Carmelites’ monastery in Krakow.
