This article aims to investigate how Mikołaj of Błonie, a Polish preacher from the first half of the fifteenth century, employs the motif of the ages of the world and man in the first sermon on Dominica Septuagesimae from his collection de tempore. In order to determine its function in respect to the medieval text and its role in religious instruction, this study identifies the sources of this theme and how it was adapted by the preacher according to the requirements of the sermon genre. A comprehensive analysis of Mikołaj of Błonie’s sermon demonstrates that the preacher employs the topos of the ages of the world and man as a persuasive literary device carrying a powerful, charismatic exhortation, in line with the didactic and moralizing nature of the sermon as a rhetorical genre. I will argue that the preacher exerted meticulous care in selecting and adapting source materials to make it relevant and appealing to his audience.

The Holy Cross Sermons have become the subject of research conducted by scientists representing various disciplines within the framework of the humanities. This should not come as a surprise due to the high importance of the text. The ser-mons are the oldest Polish literary monument written in Old Polish and Latin. Resear-chers have made an effort to find answers to the questions: who could be the author of the Holy Cross Sermons collection of and what can we say about a group of which originated author. This article is part of this research trend. The research problem consi-dered in this text are the premises that allow us to accept or reject the affiliation of the author of the Holy Cross Sermons to the circle of the Friars Preachers or Friars Minor.

Kazania świętokrzyskie stały się obiektem badań prowadzonych przez naukowców reprezentujących różne dyscypliny mieszczące się w ramach nauk humanistycznych. Nie powinno to dziwić z racji na ciężar gatunkowy tekstu. Stanowią one najstarszy polski zabytek literacki spisany po staropolsku oraz łacinie. Starano się znaleźć odpowiedzi na pytania: kto mógł być autorem świętokrzyskiej kolekcji kazań oraz, w jakim środowisku mogły one powstać. Niniejszy artykuł wpisuje się w ten nurt badań. Problemem badawczym rozważanym w niniejszym tekście są przesłanki, które pozwalają nam przyjąć lub odrzucić przynależność autora Kazań świętokrzyskich do kręgu Braci Kaznodziejów lub Braci Mniejszych.
