Abstract

The author assumes the presence of books by Polish authors in the libraries of Renaissance England on the basis of certified ownership of copies of their publications in over three hundred inventories of private English libraries from the times of the Tudors and the first Stuarts. So far, in a small number of scientific publications, conclusions have been drawn from preserved copies of books by Polish authors currently held in English libraries. The question of what influence the books of Polish authors had on the minds of the English during the Renaissance must remain at this stage of research without a full answer. There were the most important books of Polish authors published in Latin in English libraries, but proving their real impact requires further research on the 16th-17th century book collections.
