Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to discuss the ways in which Christ’s Biblical words “hoc est corpus meum” are used in Ochino’s translated text, which was published in Pińczów in 1560. First, the context of the preparation and Polish translation of the work (the recent death of Jan Łaski and the aims of the Lutheran community in Lesser Poland) are discussed. Next, the methods and conditions for the introduction of paraphrases in texts in the work, which attest both to the persuasive and educational as well as more general perspective of early modern semantic changes appearing in theological discussions in vernacular languages, are subject to analysis.
