Kaznodziejski „pojedynek” Józefa Wereszczyńskiego z Jakubem Wujkiem (na przykładzie marginaliów)
Preachers’ “duel” of Józef Wereszczyński with Jakub Wujek (based on marginalia)

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the way in which Józef Wereszczyński (born after 1531, died 1598), a Benedictine abbot from Sieciechów, used, in his work “Gościniec pewny niepomiernym moczygębom a omierzłym wydmifuklom świata tego do prawdziwego obaczenia a zbytków swych pohamowania z Pisma świętego i z rozmaitych autorów zebrany i wydany” (1585), one of the sermons of a Jesuit Jakub Wujek (1541–1597), which the latter included in “Postylla katoliczna” “the greater” (1573–1575; 1584). The focus was on the marginalia – those summarizing the matter and footnotes. It was pointed out that Wereszczyński, besides adopting fragments of a sermon “Na tenże dzień Jana świętego kazanie drugie przeciw opilstwu a obżartswu świata dzisiejszego”, subjected the marginalia to amplification, substitution and abbreviation practices. Although himself not free from negligence, he also corrected the biblical addresses wrongly identified in Wujek’s “Postylla”.
