Abstrakt

The treaty of Jan Płoczywłos Mrowiński, who signed himself as the burgher of Kazimierz city and a nobleman, was published in 1561 and has an eclectic, confessional profile. The author reflects on marriage using both Catholic and Protestant sources, including the Greater Catechism of Martin Luther or the anonymous (attributed to Stanisław Murzynowski) treatise “Oeconomia, albo Gospodarstwo" (1545), which was a translation of the treatise by Justus Menius. However, unlike the Lutheran texts, this treatise is not a formation book. The author of the sketch proves that the appreciation of eroticism, the approval of two-faith marriages and the shaky stance on divorce presented in the “Stadło małżeńskie" testify to Płoczywłos’s intention to adopt selected reformers’ proposals to the Catholic ground. This means that the compilation piece is intended to introduce elements of a Protestant approach to marriages on a Catholic basis.
