The main issue which this article aims to present is the way the sixteenth century text of Mikołaj Rej’s Żywot człowieka poczciwego (The Life of the Honest Man) was interpreted by the nineteenth century author Klementyna Tańska-Hoffmanowa. More precisely, the present author seeks to show just one aspect of this re-reading, i.e. the “indication” of archaic or „obsolete words” by the reader. The analysis of 85 lexemes presented in the article, their descriptions and their collocations that were regarded by Tańska Hoffmanowa as obsolete, has made it possible to prove that the she had fair command of rich lexical resources, knowledge on the aspects of grammatical functioning of the Polish language, that she was interested in the issue and was capable of perceiving transitions in the language in time.
