The subject of the article is “Zielnik herbarzem z języka łacińskiego zowią…” (In English: “Herbarium”) by Szymon Syreński, also known as Syrenius, published in 1613 by the printing house of Bazyli Skalski. The thoughts of the eminent Polish botanist and physician presented in this work concern two issues: the expression of the author's attitude towards plant witchcraft (love and protective magic) and the assessment of people (alchemists, witch doctors, traders) dealing with secret practices in which particular species were used. The theses of the author were discussed having taken into account the position of Renaissance medicine and the role of natural and demonic magic in the life of society at that time. The important context for the analyses conducted herein is also the presentation of the work of Syrenius juxtaposed with other literary texts and treatises from the 16th and 17th centuries, the authors of which dealt with similar issues (incl. “Czarownica powołana or Postępek prawa czartowskiego przeciw narodowi ludzkiemu”). The article is based on the researches of literary scholars, general and medicine historians as well as anthropologists.

Celem artykułu jest filologiczna analiza miłosnych klątw zawartych w polskich tekstach literackich z XVII w. inspirowana teorią aktów mowy (w tym performatywów i konstatacji) Johna L. Austina oraz pracami z zakresu klątwy ludowej Anny Engelking. Przedmiotem badań są wypowiedzi: Banialuki (romans baśniowy Historyja ucieszna o królewnie Banialuce Hieronima Morsztyna – 1650), Cyceryny (zbiór pieśni Roksolanki Szymona Zimorowica – 1654) oraz Pani (sielanka Odczary na Simonidesowe „Czary” Jana Gawińskiego – połowa XVII w.). Klątwy literackie są rozpatrywane zarówno w kontekście etnolingwistycznej struktury (obiekt – sprawca – wykonawca), sprawczej funkcji wypowiedzi, jak i imperatywów, składni, symboliki, etymologii.

The aim of the article is to undertake philological analysis of love curses described in Polish literary texts from the 17th century. The analysis was inspired by the theory of speech acts (including performatives and constatives) by John L. Austin and works on the folk curse by Anna Engelking. The research centred on the following statements by: Banialuka (Historyja ucieszna o królewnie Banialuce [A Diverting Story about the Virtuous Princess Banialuka], fairy-tale romance by Hieronim Morsztyn – 1650), Cyceryna (Roksolanki [Ruthenian Girls], collection of songs by Szymon Zimorowic – 1654) and Pani (Odczary na Simonidesowe “Czary” idyll by Jan Gawinski – mid. 17th century). Literary curses are considered both in the context of the ethnolinguistic structure (object – perpetrator – performer) and the causative function of an utterance, as well as imperatives, syntax, symbolism and etymology.
