Summary/Abstract: The subject of analysis constitutes the so far unknown work containing the appraisal of Jan,Andrzej and Piotr Kochanowski, recorded in the manuscript of the Ossoliński National Institute 647I on k. 167 v. The anonymous letter was found in the manuscript connected with the surroundingof Arian in the form of the fragment Z Listu do Jego Mości Pana Dominika Kazanowskiego, co goKochanowska urodziła, o Kochanowskich. As the appraisal of the ancestors on their mother’s side, itconstitutes a thematic whole. It may have been created because of Kochanowski’s wedding in 1636.His laudation makes use of the already known subject‑matter(S.F. Klonowic, K. Miaskowski) andintroduces references to the poetry from Czarnolas but, above all, underlines a creative inclusionof the poet into the heritage of the European tradition. Andrzej Kochanowski as a translator of TheAeneid allusively referred to and Piotr Kochanowski as a translator of Tasso, a poetic work on heroicGofred were treated as continuators of the achievements by Jan from Czarnolas. A poetic letter,recorded in the group of works ascribed by Hieronim Juszyński to Hieronim Moskrzowski, allowsfor asking the question on the rightness of this attribution.
