On the Cult of Mary of Daniel Zieliński in the Light of the “Preface” to “Szata wzorzysta doskonałości” (1649)

Daniel Zieliński's 'Preface' to 'Szata wzorzysta doskonałości' (1649) reveals a significant dedication to the cult of Mary, reflecting post-Tridentine spirituality and personal devotion. The text serves as both an homage to Mary and a guide for spiritual life, illustrating its influence on Polish Catholicism through practices like christenings, scapulars, rosaries, and Marian Sodalities. Zieliński's work also highlights the growing importance of Marian sanctuaries, including Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, in fostering pilgrimage movements. The study examines how the cult of Mary was disseminated through prayer books, sermons, poetry, and devotional literature, offering insights into its enduring impact on religious practices.
