Summary/Abstract: Founded as a continuation of Wojciech Mielczewski’s printing shop, the printing house of the Fraternity of the Holy Trinity operated between 1705 and 1786. It produced over 300 items, which were mostly religious. Its lay publications included alphabet books to learn Polish, Polish poetry, almanacs, play programmes for school theatres, light fiction, panegyrics etc. The printing house popularised Polish culture in multicultural Lviv. Book inventories found in its storeroom show that some titles and publications are not known to bibliographers.
