The paper focuses on two types of the 17th century public discourse – of exclusion and tolerance. The research is based on the analysis of the works of Szymon Starowolski (Braterskie napomnienie, Prawdziwe objaśnienie Braterskiego napomnienia) and Samuel Przypkowski (Braterska deklaracyja) which constitute a polemical chain or a series of works combined on the basis of discussion replies. The purpose of the sketch is to characterize the subjects of the discourse, describe the communication strategies used and reconstruct presented attitudes and values. The subject of the discourse of exclusion assumes the approach of a hegemon attempting to discredit the object of the discourse and lead to its isolation. It invokes to insinuation and emotional arguments. The subject of the discourse of tolerance represents an irenic attitude and presents a society based on amicable coexistence, the will of cooperation, respect for law and freedom of conscience.

The article seeks to analyse chosen epitaphs adopted from Szymon Starowolski’s oeuvre titled Monumenta Sarmatarum (Cracoviae 1655). This book contains Latin epitaphs originating from the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth territories, as well as from abroad. The inscriptions bequeathed by Starowolski are presented at the backdrop of the European epitaph tradition. The paper also briefl y discusses the content of inscription collection published in early modern period, which might have inspired the Polish author. The epitaphs from Buczacz and Potok in commemoration of the members of the Buczacki, Tworowski and Potocki’s houses, included in Monumenta Sarmatarum, are analyzed in-depth. Particular attention is paid to both the content, with the commonplaces typical of funerary genres, and the form. As corroborated, the prose texts usually take the form of eulogium – a genre characteristic of the baroque culture – and poetic epitaphs act as funerary epigrams. The source texts of the inscriptions in question are then juxtaposed with the texts of the same epitaphs included in the Latin armorial Orbis Polonus by Szymon Okolski (Cracoviae 1641–1643). Finally, it is posited that further research of Starowolski’s works is required from historical, literary and philological standpoint related to the transmission of text.

In the article the author discusses a planned publication by Balthasar I Moretus of a collected edition of several works by Szymon Starowolski. The Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp has some Polish-themed documents testifying to the fact that in 1632 or 1633 the edition, to be entitled Polonia illustrata, was being prepared. Most of the extant copies of Starowolski’s works have handwritten notes by the author himself, among others. Of particular importance is a copy of Scriptorum Polonicorum Hekatontas to which a hand-written document was attached. It contains e.g. an approval formula signed by the censor Fr. Gaspar Estricx.
