The article discusses the figure and the work of the poet from the Saxon times in Poland. The first part of the article presents some essential biographical data and his most important literary achievements – from his debut poem Trąba wiekopomnej sławy..., through the translations of the Latin works of Ovid and Lucan, to poems written in the Polish language, such as Biblical poems and other cycles of poems. The other part of the article includes a discussion on the history of the reception of Chrościński’s works and the opinions on his literary output given by literary critics and contemporary historians of literature. Diverse and not equivocal opinions emerge – from decidedly favourable to those more restrained and even critical. However, the popularity of the poems written by Chrościński in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries is remarkable. This popularity wanes in the course of time and slowly but steadily he becomes an unknown author, rarely recalled and selectively cited. The varied and divergent attitudes of historians of literature make us fully accept the following opinion given by Brückner: “Chrościński highly deserves a closer study of his literary output”. Accordingly, the latter postulate is an invitation to a thorough and deepened investigation of the works of the poet.

The article discusses the metatextual and intertextual dimension of one of the mottos for The Emperor by Ryszard Kapuściński, which is a quote from The New Athens by Benedykt Chmielowski. The latter was the first Polish encyclopaedia, which was highly undervalued by traditional authorities in the field of literary history, for it failed to meet the intellectual standards of the Enlightenment and was marked with the anachronistic mentality of the Saxon times. The analysis relates to the way in which Chmielowski’s motto provides an interpretative frame for the controversial book by Kapuściński, devoted to the decline and fall of the oldest African Empire – Ethiopia – in the 1960s and 1970s. The author of the paper’s main focus falls on the relationship between the meaning of the source text and the semantics of modern reportage, the role played by the popular image of Benedykt Chmielowski in the process of interpretation, the relationship between the quote and the archaic style of The Emperor, and the ways in which the quote from The New Athens interacts with the other mottos of the book – the multiplicity of which signals a new narrative strategy used by the reporter and writer.
