Summary/Abstract: The author of the article raises the problem of attribution of Muza gór wielickich, an epic poemdescribing salines and salt miners’ job published in Cracow in 1608. Andrzej Loeaechius, a Polish-Latin poet of a Scottish origin used to be considered the author of the work. Nowadays, the work isascribed to I.N., whose initials were placed in Muza…, a poem dedicated to Eustachy Wołłowicz.The author of the article formulates a hypothesis that Jakub Najmanowicz, a professor and censorfrom the Cracow Academy hides under the label of I.N. and contradicts the authorship of the previousone. At the same time, she presents various evidence confirming the legitimacy of ascribing theauthorship of the very work to Andrzej Loeaechius.
