A reprint that mimics the first edition of 1586 well, with yellowed, aged paper and slightly frayed edges.
Pieśni Jana Kochanowskiego księgi dwoje is a collection of songs by Jan Kochanowski, published by the Lazarus Printing House in 1586 (so after the author's death). It was divided into two parts - Books One and Books Two. It contained 49 songs and was thus the largest collection of songs by this author.
