The article aims at presenting the context of the future edition of Vieira’s selected works. The author of the article attempts to outline the historical and cultural horizons of Lusitania and Poland in Vieira’s times and discusses the Polish ‘issues’ in Viera’s writing. The comparative analysis of the two countries is based on national myths (especially the ones of the messianistic character). In order to explain the role of Poland in Vieira’s writing, the concept of Antemurale Christianitatis has been recalled.
