In the wake of the studies on Humanist Greek, which have recently known a lively development, the volume presents the case of a rare Greek translation of Cicero’s speech "Pro Archia poeta". As is known, starting from Petrarch and for generations the oration represented an ode to the beauty and the benefits deriving from art and poetry. The book provides the text, accompanied by an in-depth linguistic and stylistical analysis, and it also sheds light on the historical and literary background in which the author worked. The Pole Mikołaj Z˙órawski (1595-1665), an interesting though little known figure of the early Polish Baroque, was not only an astrologer and a physician, but also a passionate translator of Cicero at the Academy of Cracow.
