The ownership marks of the books and print albums that belonged to Jan Ponętowski (c. 15401598) have already been studied extensively. Thus, this article presents hitherto unconsidered aspects of the bibliophile’s armorial marks with emphasis on written sources and the interchangeable use of the Ogończyk and Odrowąż coats of arms for his bookplates, supralibros, seals, medal with his portrait and his crosier. It investigates why Ponętowski employed the Odrowąż with the emblem of the Order of the Dragon, and by focussing on the literary sources of the relation between the dragon and salamander, which were depicted on an armorial bookplate, the article accentuates Ponętowski’s self-invention and seemingly compound heraldic usurpation. Key words: Jan Ponętowski, bookplate, supralibros, Odrowąż, Ogończyk, salamander, Hradisko, heraldry, heraldic usurpation, Order of the Dragon, Kraków, Olomouc.
