Niewiasta w rajskim ogrodzie. Kilka uwag o godności kobiecej (na podstawie traktatu {O ślachetności a zacności płci niewieściej}, 1575)
A woman in the garden of paradise. A few comments on woman’s dignity (based on {Treatise on dignity and respectability of female sex}, 1575)

Summary/Abstract: In 1575 Maciej Wirzbięta, a printer from Cracow, published a translation of the work {De nobilitate et praecellentia feminei sexus eiusdemque supra virilem eminentia libellus} titled {Treatise on dignity and respectability of female sex}. The author of the original text was Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim. Agrippa together with Wirzbięta took part in a century-long debate on women’s dignity, proving the legitimacy of the thesis which puts women over men. Arguments used in the discussion {de hominis dignitate} were supported by a particular interpretation of the Book of Genesis, which presents women as a better kind of men.
