The main aim of the article is to present selected works from the corpus of the oldest Polish texts showing the figure of St. Anne. In the article the characteristics in the lyrical genres (such as little hours, song of Saint Anne) are compared with those present in the prose (such as apocrypha, hagiographic works). The booklets for the members of the Society St. Anne, which are collections of different types of song, are also mentioned. In the article there is the answer if and in what way the genealogical character of the work describing the Saint Grandmother of Christ and the time in which the work was created influenced the content and ideologies present in the selected texts. The majority of the argument is based on the chronology of the creation of works.

The article consists of the comparative analysis of chosen apocrypha originating from the Modern Era (the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew and the Protevangelium of James) and the Old Polish times (the Life of Saint Anne Jan's from Koszyczek, The History of Saint Anne Mikołaj's of Wilkowieck and some initial fragments from The Przemysl Meditation).The aim of the analysis is the way of the presentation of Saint Anne (the mother of Virgin Mary) in selected literary texts. In the course of the analysis the story of the heroine, which is created from five cited literary works, is also reminded. Great emphasis is put on the family genealogy of the saint and the prefigured behaviour of its individual family members. The goal of the study is to show that Saint Anne plays mainly a moralistic role in the apocrypha. Sheembodies a model of an ideal wife and mother which is particularly recommended in the old Jewish and old Polish communities. In the article there are also many examples of the behaviour of the characters, which are also placed in a historical context and the Bible. What is more, there are some references to hagiographical studies. In the end the conclusions based on the analysis emphasise the role of such presentations for Christian society.
