Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the idea of intratextuality related to internal relations within a text.In literary practice, this strategy employs many ways of repetition or reduplication oftextual parts from a simple phrase to much more complex structures such as argument,digression, trope, or figure. The strategy’s most evident form is self-intertextuality,which limits the field of references to texts signed with the name or pseudonym ofa single author. Covering various strategies of repetition from self-citation to selfparaphrase,intratextuality assumes considerable freedom of self-interpretation.Moreover, this concept may turn out to be analytically useful in a more completedescription of textual self-referentiality, as in the case of Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski’sode to Pope Urban VIII (I 21).
