Looking at an interesting and very diverse scientific out-put of Michael Boym, Polish jesuit missionary in China, one can ask why so many of his works still remain unpublished. This text analyses some circumstances and conditions that impacted this situation for example relation between Boym and two other Jesuits – Martino Martini and Athanasius Kircher, complicated political situation of the Middle Kingdom in the second half of 17th century or some religious factors of the inner policy of the Society of Jesus. Lecture of the original authorial introductions to the published books of Michael Boym (i.e. Flora Sinensis and Clavis medica ) suggests the author found inspiration for his work in Jesuit motto „Omnia ad maiorem Dei gloriam”. By setting both religious and scientific targets to his works Boym persuaded the order authorities that his books should have been published.

The text is focused on the ancient literary images of the Cumaean Sibil, one of the most known and mysterious figures of the Roman mythology. Described by Vergil and Ovid in their monumental epic poems, mentioned also by other Roman writers (like Aulus Gellius, Petronius, Silius Italicus) Sibil from Cumae became a symbol of longevity of Rome and of the Roman culture and a guarantee of its successful existence. According to the mythological tradition, Sybil’s appearance was changing during her thousand-year-long life from a resplendent beauty, who was desired by Apollo, to a flabby old woman, dreaming about her own death. In this context the Roman prophetess could be interpreted as a personification of the passing human nature, ruled by the cycle of the returning eras (the Gold Era, the Silver Era, the Bronze Era and the Iron Era). The tragedy of Sybil, who was mortal, but could not die, trapped in her weak human body, firstly inspired Roman poets. Later their poems became an inspiration for many painters (for example Salvator Rosa, Guercino, Domenichino, Jan Breughel the Elder, William Turner) who recreated the Cumaean prophetess, giving her a new silent life in the art galleries all over Europe. Their masterpieces correspond with the ancient tradition underlining her agelessness.

The article presents the story of Lucrece, legendary heroine and noble wife of Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus, whose suicide was presented many times in the ancient Roman and Renaissance literature by historiographers and poets. The author compares few versions of Lucrece’s story focusing on her virtues (like castitas, obstinata pudicitia, decus muliebris) that became canonical features characterising the Roman matrona.
