Summary/Abstract: The article contains an analysis of the selected typographical elements (marginalia, illustrations, initials) of the sermon Castris et astris Marsowi i Jezusowi Hołdujący Kawaler J[aśnie] P[an] Władysław z Lubrańca Dąmbski by Alexander of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, published twice in the Michał Schedel publishing house in Krakow (issue 1. – 1684, issue 2. – 1688). The aim of the work is to present their correspondence with the content and the role they play in the transfer. A clear and rich example of the 17th century funeral sermon was based on the dualism of transfer – through text and graphics. As a result of the conducted research, in which the methods of typographical analysis and text analysis were used, it was established that, being a very important part of print, they fulfil the autotelic interpretative, argumentative and commentary functions. The marginalia (thematic, commentary, bibliographic – 239 altogether) additionally escort the reader, filling the contents and referring to sources. Illustrations (crest, initials, vignettes), through the symbolism used, strengthen the message of the sermon. kazaniu.
