Abstract
The paper comprises results of the author’s scholarly scrutiny of Karol Wojtyła’s selected manuscripts of his literary output. A detailed analysis of rough copies (in particular, elements such as text versions, the crossings out and other emendations he made) has confirmed Wojtyła’s high linguistic consciousness as a user of the Polish language. By reading Wojtyła’s manuscripts, one can also discover significant marks of his idiolect, as well as reconstruct his attitude to language, speech, and his own literary practice, which he considered in terms of a meditation of the Logos.
