(title in Polish - 'Krakowskie druki okolicznosciowe z okazji zaslubin Zygmunta I z Bona Sforza (18 kwietnia 1518). Przyczynek do bibliografii'). King Sigismund I's marriage to Bona Sforza in 1518 was an opportunity to publish numerous occasional materials, printed in Kraków by Jan Haller and Hieronim Wietor. Authors who published various works to mark the occasion included Joachim Vadianus (von Watt), Andrzej Krzycki, Rudolf Agricola and Dantyszek. Given the fact that copies of these publications have not survived and that old bibliographers held contradictory opinions about them, it is difficult to establish their number, authorship, chronology and relations between various editions. An analysis of various testimonies has allowed the author of the article to put forward a hypothesis that there were two different editions of Andrzej Krzycki's 'Epithalamium'.

Father Jan Boguslawski, a 16th century Cistercian and translator, was virtually forgotten and absent from modern writings on the late Renaissance. The present article compiles facts from Father Boguslawski's life to be found in various source publications and examines the fragment of his book collection that has been identified so far. The authoress analyses 27 works in 25 volumes kept today at the University Library in Warsaw and several other academic libraries in Poland and abroad. She examines their content, bindings of the various volumes and the method of their marking. The collection theme is fairly homogeneous. It is dominated by theological literature, including Biblical commentaries and sermons. The surviving works testify to a distinctively utilitarian nature of the collection, necessary in everyday pastoral work. The oldest publication, from the earliest period of Boguslawski's life, comes from 1478. Other books, published in the 16th century, were bought between 1589 and 1602. After Boguslawski's death, in the early 17th century, a majority of volumes described here were incorporated into the library of the monastery in Koprzywnica. Apart from the catalogue description and place of storage, the enclosed list of books contains information about former owners of the books and the bindings.

Stanislaw Sarnicki's work 'Statuta i metrika przywilejow koronnych...' (Statutes and records of crown privileges, Cracow 1594) contains a very interesting series of graphic portraits. These portraits are scattered all over the book and are linked to texts devoted to the duties of holders of various offices in Poland. They portray specific individuals. The present author has identified them and has attempted to answer the question why those officials and those individuals from among a great number of people holding power in the 16th century Poland were chosen to be presented in the work. All those portrayed were connected with Jan Zamoyski, grand crown hetman (commander-in-chief) and chancellor at the time, who pursued a very consistent policy aimed at restricting the king's power. Sarnicki's book contains faithful portraits of well-known people. Thus those people were identified with the power they held and were presented as those who in a way personally oversaw the enforcement of the law. The connections with Zamoyski testified to the fact that he was the man who was the guardian of the public order. Zamoyski was a protector of both the author, Stanislaw Sarnicki, and the publisher, Jan Januszowski; he could, therefore, have influenced the book's content. Zamoyski wanted his propaganda message to reach specific groups of the Polish society. He was able to achieve this goal thanks to this high-circulation publication; the fact that it was in the form of a book increased its stature and significance.
