%X The study characterizes the manuscript of the Polish adaptation of Herman Hugo’s emblematic work Pia desideria (printed in Antwerp in 1624), copied in 1662 by Sister Agnieszka (Agnes) of Jesus the Lamb (Konstancja Iżycka, 1636–1723) in the convent of the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lublin. The author establishes the origin of the manuscript, discusses the composition of the pages and calligraphic decoration inspired both by the traditional ways of preparing manuscripts and by the form of the 17th-century prints. She also identifies the kinds of writings used in it, examining them in the context of their origin and the functioning of handwriting in women’s convents in the second half of the 17th century.
