Ukształtowanie i wydawnicza rama mowy Stanisława Konarskiego na wyprowadzenie zwłok Konstancji ze Słuszków Denhoffowej

The source material for this article is the funerary print by Stanisław Konarski, published for the occasion of the removal of the body of Konstancja Denhoff née Słuszka from Warsaw to Częstochowa (1723). The author explores the structure of the funeral oration and the themes featured by each of its seven parts, which together form an image of the deceased magnate. The author also highlights the writing characteristics of the oration. She then systematises the framework texts associated with the speech: preliminaries (an epigraph, a dedication letter directed to the son of the deceased wife of the Malbork voivode), the printed marginalia and a poem with which the booklet concludes. The author further points to the decorative elements which complete the funerary publication (initials, vignettes, decorative bands) and typographic shaping of the text of the funerary oration, in which both the differentiation of the height and shape of font, as well as the placing of individual verses in the selected parts of the oration, on the one hand display certain traits of visual textuality, and on the other, imitate inscriptions from the tradition of ancient elogia.
