ENThe article refers to Michał Kazimierz Ogiński, the Grand Hetman of Lithuania, a patron of the arts, originator of an exceptionally remarkable artistic estate in Słonim, who was also an interesting poet. His poems were edited anonymously in four volumes. Bibliographers and literary historians (Bentkowski, Estreicher, Korbut) showed disagreement in the attribution of those poems. A part of them was attributed to Michał Kleofas Ogiński, while a meritorious monographer of Ogiński’s estate Andrzej Ciechanowski suggested Ogiński’s cooperation with the Hetman’s secretaries in composing them. Still, an analysis of the manuscript of a collection of songs, the only volume signed with Ogiński’s name and unknown to authors of earlier studies, and a stylistic analysis of the lyrics make it possible to state that Michał Kazimierz Ogiński is the author of all the analysed volumes of poetry.
