Abstract:
The article presents the mechanism of imitation and compilation used in the creation of Polish medical texts about the plague on the example of texts “O ziołach i mocy ich” by Stefan Falimirz, “Preserwatywa przeciwko morowemu powietrzu doświadczona” by Martinus Clecensis, “Bezoar z łez ludzkich” by Walenty Bartoszewski, and many others. Old Polish medical texts, regardless of their scientific or popular character, were created in order to popularise medical knowledge and convince the reader of the effectiveness of the proposed cure. Analysed texts showed the strong connection of medicine, astrology and religion, as well as the conviction about a direct link between the medicine of the soul and the body. As such, they were often used to reinforce the religious vision of the world.
