Abstract

The remarks included in the article concern Karol Wojtyła’s manuscripts prepared as a teaching aid for his lectures on Catholic Social Ethics; the authors present the basic information on this work. One of the intriguing characteristics of the manuscripts in question is the presence of small inscriptions placed by Wojtyła on almost every page. The authors claim that the inscriptions are actually short prayers (sometimes taking the form of actus iaculatoriae), discuss this feature of Wojtyła’s way of writing and propose its interpretation by reference to the category of ritual.

Keywords:

Karol Wojtyła, Catholic Social Ethics, manuscript, inscription, actus iaculatoriae, ritual
