The 1854 edition of the writings of St. John Chrysostom introduced Polish readers to the homilies and speeches of one of the great preachers of the ancient Church. The translator, Fr. Anzelm Za\u0142\u0119ski, also translated the poetry of Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski, hence the note on the title page: \u201cTranslator of Sarbiewski.\u201d The volume was published in Warsaw by Samuel Orgelbrand, a few years before he began work on his *Encyklopedia Powszechna* (Universal Encyclopedia).<\/p>\n
Provenance: On the half-title page of both volumes is a 19th-century handwritten signature reading \u201cZ. Witkowski.\u201d<\/p>\n
A two-volume set.<\/p>\n
The blocks of both volumes are intact. In Volume I, from p. 233 to the end, there is a distinct old stain that darkens the paper; the text is legible. Both volumes have minor foxing. The binding of Volume I requires some marbled paper to be added to the back cover.<\/p>\n
