Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the elegy Carmen in quadam theologica disputatione by Laurentius Corvinus (Wawrzyniec Korwin). The work was written as a voice in the theological debate that was held in Wrocław at St Dorothy’s church on 23 April 1524. It is a religious manifesto in which the most essential theses of the Lutheran faith are recalled. The style of the Carmen, based on ancient poetical techniques, serves to praise and propagate the new Protestant faith.
