KIEDY POWSTAŁY EMBLEMATY ZBIGNIEWA MORSZTYNA? NOWE USTALENIA DOTYCZĄCE DATACJI ZBIORU
WHEN WERE ZBIGNIEW MORSZTYN’S EMBLEMS COMPOSED? NEW DETERMINATIONS ABOUT THE COLLECTION’S DATING

Summary/Abstract: In 1966, Janusz Pelc, Zbigniew Morsztyn’s monographer, roughly dated the composition of a cycle ofemblems. As he claims, Morsztyn completed it between 1675–1680 or 1676–1680, started presumablyin the 1660s, and also added corrections probably after 1680. This dating is essentially valid until now.Grześkowiak in his paper proves that the cycle was concluded after May 21st, 1674 (date of Jan IIISobieski’s coronation is mentioned in dedication), and before July 15th, 1675, when Kazimierz Krzysz-tof Kłokocki, a would-be issuer, who administered the Słuck publishing house, confirmed in a letterthat he received the manuscript final draft. Grześkowiak questions the two hypotheses that had impacton the erstwhile dating: Pelc’s thesis suggesting that two different copies of complete collections ofemblems represent its two disparate auctorial editions, and Paulina Buchwald-Pelcowa and JanuszPelc’s assumption that Morsztyn composed 50 three-verse subscriptions written on a 1626 copy ofAmoris Divini et humani effectus varii treasured in Uppsala University Library.
