The article discusses the copy of the 1537 Opusculum Quadragesimale by Walenty Wróbel (currently kept in the Archdiocese Archives in Gniezno) with a dedicatory inscription to Paweł Holszański, Bishop of Vilna, questioned by Stanisław Estreicher in Bibliografia polska by Karol Estreicher. The only difference between the unknown edition of this title and the well-known second edition is the dedicatory inscription dedicated to the Bishop of Poznań, John of the Lithuanian Dukes. Hence the main part of the article is devoted to a comparison of both dedicatory letters. The copy under scrutiny is bound in a binding made in a bindery in Vilna that, between the years 1557–1563, was also involved in providing its services to the royal library of Sigismund August. This particular volume was used by monks of different monasteries. The last attested proprietary inscription that the work bears is the one of the monastery of the monks of the Calced Carmelites in Bydgoszcz.
