Summary/Abstract: The article aims to discuss names of religious dissenters related to the Reformation recorded in the "Dictionary of the Polish Language" by S.B. Linde and thus look at the dictionary through the prism of this religious current. The material basis is the second edition of the lexicon (1854–1860). Linde noted 32 names of this type referring to identifying reforms. It seems that their number and selection indicate reformation as a phenomenon still alive in the lexicographer’s days. On the other hand, perhaps the more important motivation in the selection of material was the Lutheran confession of the lexicographer.
