O NOWYM WYDANIU „FRASZEK″ JANA KOCHANOWSKIEGO.

The paper discusses a recently completed critical edition of Jan Kochanowski's Fraszki (Trifles), which will before long be issued as a subsequent volume of his Dzieła wszystkie (Collected Works). Different aspects of the publication are presented, including facsimile, transcription, and commentary. As a representative sample, a few actual passages from particular trifles are discussed in length. These include the following poems: I 48, I 55, I 78, II 55, III 1, III 39, III 46, III 53, III 63, and III 69. The most remarkable added value of the edition is that it contains countless minute discoveries--individually marginal-- creating much broader, much richer, and much deeper picture of Trifles than the previous editions might suggest.
