Abstract

“Powinny trybut synowskiej miłości” is a series of oratorical behaviours a noble son was obliged to practise regarding his closest relatives, especially parents. The art of composing letters, and reciting speech as well as congratulation poems on the occasion of various annual festivals started in the Old-Polish period as early as the boy was a few years old. From that time, a Polish nobel child was taught skills that he was to use in his whole life. The article discusses a rich collection of texts from the 17th and 18th centuries that were to be used as the models for imitation, both for the younger and older noble sons.
