Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the publishing history of a piece by Stanisław Grochowski which at the beginning of the 17th c. amounted to as many as four editions. The verse in question is a commendatory piece written after the death of Jan Zamoyski and most probably read in Zamość during the field marshal’s funeral. One of the poem’s edition was devoid of its title page, thus neither its publishing house nor the date of its issuing is known. The author of the sketch researched the presently available specimens, juxtaposed them in order to establish their order, indicate its first impression as well as the last copy produced during its author’s lifetime, which may be of interest for the future editorial research. Employing the tools of textology and typographic analysis, the paper complements the missing data of the anonymous edition, identifying it as a product of Cracow’s workshop of Bazyli Skalski from the years 1610–1611.
