Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the role of the panegyrical texts in transmitting and fixing values in the scientific circle of the 17th century. Literary axiology mostly of the preliminaries and the dedications of some Latin dissertations and scientific works is scrutinized. The analysed texts originate mainly from the Academy of Cracow and were published by the Schedels’ printing house. According to the predominant trends of those times, the early printed books contain the panegyrical dedicational letters, sometimes motivated by gratitude. The authors forge community between their addressee and the readers by recalling the mutual axiological system. Science in the 17th century did not lack moral values and the panegyrical discourse referring to them was an ordinary supplement of the scientific one.
