Throughout the pre-partition period, municipal law was not codified. Therefore, the works of Bartholomew Groicki (c. 1534- 1605) were of exceptional importance. He was a bourgeois, a Krakow double, a lawyer and a scribe at the Higher Court of German Law in Krakow He adapted Magdeburg and Carolingian law to the needs of Polish courts. His most famous work is "Articles of Maydeburg Law, which they call Speculum Saxonum" (1558) - this is the first work on law published in Polish. Groicki's works, characterized by the reception of Roman legal solutions and inscribing them into Polish legal realities, clearly formulated and transparent, and moreover, mostly written in Polish, in the absence of codification, were repeatedly published. They were widely used until the end of the 18th century. They shaped municipal law, court practice and even influenced Lithuanian statutes. (after the King John III Palace Museum in Wilanow)
