Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study is to analyse the semantic category of PURITY and its corpus-based textual representations, as well as the question of the interpretive framework ruling its discursive meaning in Old Polish culinary discourse. The basis of the study is a corpus of texts including the oldest Polish texts on culinary topics, i.e. cookbooks, the oldest herbalists and dietary-health texts. The interpretation demonstrates that the concept of purity was determined in the old discourse by the conceptual framework of DIET, HEALTH and FASTING.
