Tradycja rękopiśmienna przepowiedni elekcyjnej Jerzego Joachima Retyka. Analiza przekazów i edycja
Manuscript Tradition of Georg Joachim Rheticus’s Election Prophecy. Analysis of Accounts and Their Editions

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to organise the issues concerning the great variety of manuscripts jointly described as the “election prophecy,” supposedly made by Georg Joachim Rheticus. The author proposed to apply a model showing how the original text of the “prophecy,” the autograph of which has not been preserved to this day, underwent contamination and interpolation after being introduced into manuscript circulation through correspondence and numerous copies, while at the same time serving as the basis for the creation of vernacular traditions of the text. These processes are depicted in source materials annexed to the paper, containing editions of accounts in Latin, Polish, and German.
