Summary/Abstract: The paper consists of three parts. The first one introduces the basic assumptions of the linguistic culture theory, the first Polish linguistic guide, as it was reconstructed on the basis of Łukasz Górnicki’s Dworzanin polski ‘The Polish courtier’ (1566). The second part discusses Górnicki’s miniature Raczył ‘He deigned’ (1598) which, too, is evidence of his interest in linguistic matters. The paper draws attention to the rhetoric shape of the work which, as a whole, follows the convention of a judicial speech. The third part of the paper presents the results of a study of the verb raczyć, based on a dictionary query.
