Summary/Abstract: The article presents the work of the Dominican preacher Gabriel Zawieszko (? – 1649). Each of his six collections of sermons is subordinated to the title metaphor, which (more or less) determines the inventional and compositional shape of individual volumes, individual sermons and arguments. Leopolita as the first Polish preacher so consciously and extensively applied the concept to sermons and entire collections, combining it with the exegesis of spiritual sense (sensus misticus). A similar way of forming collections of sermons is found in Poland only in the second half of 17th century.
