Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the reception of a prominent Baroque Polish writer, Jesuit Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski, introduced by Bohuslav Balbín in the Czech literature (in the Latin work Versimilia humaniorum disciplinarum, 1666; Czech translation 2006: Nástin humanitních disciplín, i.e “Outline of Humanities”), he also follows the reception of Sarbiewski's personality and works, especially in the Czech history of Polish literature and dictionaries of Polish writers. Furthermore, he focuses on the reception of Sarbiewski in Slovakia, especially in the work of the Slovak revivalist writer, priest Timoteu Cochius (pen name Ctiboh Zoch). In the end, he recalls the critic reflections of the Czech emigrant Slavist Antonín Měšťan in a review of the proceedings of the Warsaw Conference on Sarbiewski (1995). The author states that one can agree Měšťan's view that the Polish Proceedings on the Work of Sarbiewski could become a model for similar studies of Slavonic literatures of the Baroque period, especially in Bohemia, where emotionally burdened understanding on the one side of Hussite Objective scientific research on both opposing epochs has made it difficult for different poles for a long time.
