Peregrynacja do Ziemi Świętej [Peregrination to the Holy Land] by Mikołaj Krzysztof ‘The Orphan’ Radziwiłł was first published in 1601 and within next two hundred years there were fourteen other re-releases of the publication in different languages. The account of the pilgrimage to Jerusalem not only proves Radziwiłł’s comprehensive education and being well read but also presents him as a skilled sixteenth-century documentalist who knows precisely how to attract reader’s attention. The fact that the readers have left a number of underlines, notes, and comments in the preserved copies proves Peregrynacja do Ziemi Świętej to have been a great literary success of those times. This article aims at determining readers’ response to Radziwiłł’s work on the grounds of the results of the provenance research conducted on twenty copies of Peregrynacja do Ziemi Świętej deposited in the Early Printed Books Department of University of Warsaw Library.

Peregrynacja do Ziemi Świętej autorstwa Mikołaja „Sierotki” Radziwiłła została po raz pierwszy opublikowana w 1601 r., a na przestrzeni kolejnych 200 lat ukazało się 14 jej wznowień w różnych językach. Relacja z pielgrzymki do Jerozolimy jest nie tylko dowodem wszechstronnego wykształcenia i oczytania Radziwiłła, ale też prezentuje autora jako zdolnego szesnastowiecznego dokumentalistę, który doskonale wie, w jaki sposób przyciągnąć uwagę odbiorcy. Peregrynacja zyskała ogromną popularność, czego dowodzą liczne ślady lektury (noty rękopiśmienne, podkreślenia) pozostawione przez czytelników w zachowanych egzemplarzach. Celem artykułu jest określenie recepcji czytelniczej wspomnianego dzieła na podstawie wyników badań proweniencyjnych przeprowadzonych na 20 egzemplarzach Peregrynacji przechowywanych w Gabinecie Starych Druków Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Warszawie.

Descriptions of the Eternal City written or translated by Poles began to appear in print in the second half of the 16th century. Before 1800 only eight titles were published, three of which are kept in the Early Printed Books Department of the University of Warsaw Library. Analysing the individual characteristics of the copies, such as ownership marks, marginalia, or bindings, an attempt is made to establish the identity of the owners of the books, their interests and reading practices, and to determine the ways in which Rome was perceived by readers born in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The aim of the study is also to show how the way of thinking about the Eternal City changed over the years and to present the purposes for which the former guides and accounts about Rome were used by the 17th, 18th, and 19th century readers. Five editions and eight copies of three titles were analysed. These are: O Rzymie pogańskim i chrześcijańskim (On Pagan and Christian Rome) by Andrzej Wargocki (two editions, five copies), Delicyje ziemie włoskiej (Italian Delicacies) by Georg Kranitz (two editions, two copies), and Droga rzymska z nawrotem do swojej ojczyzny (A Return Journey to Rome) by Kazimierz Kognowicki (one edition, one copy).
