| Abstrakt: |
The starting point of the study is the question whether the notions of the "bibliographic code" and "linguistic code" (introduced in George Bornstein's article How to Read a Page. Modernism and Material Textuality) can be applied in the field of genetic criticism. Next, the author focuses on the genesis of Aleksander Wat's poem U szczytu antynomij [At the Peak of Antinomies], whose subsequent drafts evolved in terms of not only their linguistic but also bibliographic code. In conclusion, some remarks are presented concerning the auracity of the manuscript, a possible new edition of Wat's poem and the methodological alliance between genetic criticism and studies into the materiality of the text.
