Summary/Abstract: The author presents two pieces of evidence for the presence of Jan Kochanowski’s mournfulspeech received at the funeral of his brother Kacper, published in Fragments as Przy pogrzebie rzeczin an oratorical tradition: a record of the speeches found in manuscripts of the National Library ofPoland (BOZ 855 k. 111—111v.) and the Lithuanian State Historical Archive in Vilnius (fond 1135,opus 2/40, k. 119—120). In both cases the orations in question were noted down anonymously, onthe basis of a rhetoric pattern while the Vilnius text was subject to an inept amplification and mostprobably used at the time of a funeral ceremony. An additional argument in favour of the functioningof Kochanowski’s speech in the manuscript tradition of the Polish oratory is two funeral speechesmade by Wincenty Krukienicki, in which the quotations from Kochanowski’s exordium were used(the manuscript of the Ossoliński National Institute 647 I).
