Summary/Abstract: The subject of the review is Danuta Künstler-Langner’s book Angel in Baroque Poetry. History of the Figure in Old Europe Culture. Is such ambitious monograph (such term is the book referred to by its author) virtually possible? Indeed, its content matter should be centuries old European culture from Lisbon to (at least) Vilnius and Lvov. The author of the book gravely ignores an enormous state of research (only in Polish books I have counted up to thousand pages) which gives an impression of originality. This monograph is rather a guidebook in poetry and works of arts since a more compound angelology is to be found mainly in the introduction and conclusion.
