Artykuł prezentuje oprawę chroniącą druk Theatrum seu potius officina concionatorum…, który opublikowano w 1597 r. w Wenecji. Wolumin ten należał do bogatej biblioteki kanonika gnieźnieńskiego Tomasza Josickiego (zm. 1616). Na górnej oraz dolnej okładzinie oprawy znajduje się superekslibris introligatorski z herbem Ciołek, którym posługiwał się wspomniany duchowny. Omawiana oprawa pochodzi najprawdopodobniej z warsztatu krakowskiego introligatora Kaspra Rajmana. Prezentowany egzemplarz należy obecnie do zbiorów Archiwum Archidiecezjalnego w Gnieźnie.
