In 2018 prof. Wiesław Wydra found out an old printed version of the famous old-Polish work De Morte. Prologus. This epoch-making finding creates new opportunities for research on this text. The printed version contains the conclusion of the dialogue, which was omitted in the only witness known so far. Nevertheless, the printed version is rather a reworking, than a faithful reproduction of a pre-existing text. It corresponds neither to the transcription of the lost scroll nor to the old-Russian translation, which is in turn evidence of an active attitude of the translator towards the original text, so that it does not testify completely to the Polish original. The author compares the three extant versions of the work (the two old-Polish versions and the old-Russian one), and focuses on what this comparison can tell about the work with the text accomplished by the editor of the printed version, as well as the attempts at reconstructing the original medieval version.
