Article compares (in certain aspects of narration) three diaries written in 1640 during chamberlain of Lvov Wojciech Miaskowski's voyage to Turkey, where he was sent by the king Vladislaus IV Vasa as an envoy to the sultan Ibrahim I. An overview of different ways of presenting the same events by different authors shows the development of old Polish diaries as a quasi-literary genre, in particular the noticeable tendency to fictionalize the story, regardless of the addressees of the text. Analyzed relations indicate the presence of this trend in both official and private diaries.

The article presents a critical edition of two funeral speeches made by Wojciech Miaskowski, yet not printed before. The first one was made while the body of Wojciech Gajewski was carried through Poznan, the latter one – during the funeral. Both oratory pieces, which were widely appreciated among the researches of old Polish oratory, provide us with new information on the life of the soldier who died in battle at the walls of Smolensk. The author of the article prepared a transcription of the speeches, followed by an introduction including the most important details on Miaskowski and Gajewski’s lives, as well as the discussion on the hereditary issues concerning the speeches. The first one made during the body’s passage is an example of oratio ab hospitibus, that is a speech for the guests, whereas the latter is oratio gratiarum actoria, that is the family’s thanksgiving. Edition of the oratory pieces was accompanied by a family tree, critical apparatus and explanations given to the works.
