The work consists of descriptions of 549 plant species and remedies of mineral and animal origin. An analysis of its contents led to the identification of 68 descriptions containing advice on taking care of body hygiene, especially that of the face. They were systematised according to ailments and needs, the most important of which concerned brightening the skin, getting rid of freckles, wrinkles, scars and a tan, as well as dyeing hair and eyebrows and beautifying the face. As a result, it was possible to identify Marcin’s professed ideal of beauty and outline his cultural inspirations, which went back to the aesthetic standards maintained by the elite of the Italian Renaissance.}, type={Text}, title={Jak uczynić płeć piękną?
