„Pieśń o cnych lisowskich kozakach”

Abstract

[“Pieśń o cnych lisowskich kozakach” (“The Song of Noble Lisowczyks”)] The paper remembers the song “Pieśń o cnych lisowskich kozakach”, whose authorship is disputable. The song was written as part of propaganda directed at the nobility opinion opposed to the actions of the Lisowczyks. Compared with previously published editions, the present one brings out a full message of the song, collects information on the fates of the copies of the first edition and explains misunderstandings resulting from the academic debate going on since the 19th c.
