The study attempts to reconstruct the life of Knight Jan Labounský of Labouně, his confessional ties that can be observed on his relations with the Unity of Brethren and his intellectual interests that are reflected in preserved prints and manuscripts from his book collection. As such, the study also contributes to the topic of the book culture of the early modern age and to studies of aristocratic libraries.

The extant research on the role of the Bible during the Reformation has focused primarily on then-efforts to make the biblical text widely accesible. On the contrary, book collections of this period have not received sufficient attention, even though it is obvious that both printed and manuscript Bibles were not only read during the second half of the 16th century, but they also became objects of purposeful collecting. The most extensive collections of Bibles in the Czech Lands prior to 1620 could be found in the libraries of the Rosenberg Family (the total of 10,000 books out of which 165 were Bibles) and of Ferdinand Hoffmann of Grünbüchl (almost 4,000 books out of which 140 were printed Bibles and there were probably also dozens of biblical manuscripts). Their comparison showed that the noble owners paid extraordinary attention to their collections, yet in a slightly different manner. The owners’ confessionality influenced their Bible collections only to a limited extent – although the Bibles in both collections fulfilled a role of a symbolic expression of piety, they served mainly as collectors’ items.

Freiherr Johann Georg Czigan von Slupsk auf Freistadt und Dobroslawitz, who died in 1640, was the patron and friend of the Silesian poets Daniel Czepko and Wenzel Scherffer von Scherfferstein. With their poetic messages, they contributed to the dissemination of the image of the Freiherr von Slupsk as an erudite and book lover. This article attempts to verify the above opinion and identify the sources of the intellectual formation of Johann Georg Czigan and the genesis of his literary and bibliophile interests. It describes the environmental connections of Johann Georg Czigan and the ties that connected him with the world of nobilitas literaria. It presents books that were his property and have survived to this day, adorned with the baron’s supralibros, one of the two currently known aristocratic proprietary marks of this kind from the Duchy of Cieszyn.

Zmarły w 1640 r. baron Jan Jerzy Cygan ze Słupska na Frysztacie i Dobrosławicach był patronem i przyjacielem śląskich poetów Daniela Czepki i Wacława Scherffera von Scherfferstein. Swoimi przekazami przyczynili się oni do upowszechnienia wizerunku pana ze Słupska jako erudyty i miłośnika ksiąg. Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje próbę weryfikacji powyższej opinii i rozpoznania źródeł intelektualnej formacji Jana Jerzego Cygana oraz genezy jego zainteresowań literackich i bibliofilskich. Opisuje środowiskowe powiązania Jana Jerzego Cygana oraz więzi łączące go ze światem nobilitas literaria. Przedstawia zachowane do dzisiaj książki stanowiące własność pana na Frysztacie oraz zdobiący je superekslibris barona, jeden z dwóch znanych obecnie tego rodzaju szlacheckich znaków własnościowych z terenu księstwa cieszyńskiego
