Summary 				  This article deals with a hitherto unknown text from the late 16th or early 17th century titled „The Landlords’ complaints against peasants”, found by the writer in a volume which belonged to the Franciscan (Bernardine) convent at Radom and is now kept at the Diocesan Library at Sandomierz (MS L 1684). That the poem, reprinted in the article, is a literary offspring of the medieval anti-peasant verse „A Satire on Lazy Peasants” is indicated by the a number of semantic and lexical traits as well its rhyme scheme. However, its line of descent is not direct. It is indebted to (or, represents a textual variant of) another contemporary poem called „A Description of the knavish and artful character of the peasant hard set against his lord”, found in St Petersburg by Aleksander Brückner. „The Landlords’ complaints against peasants” is the only poem physically available in a MS from the legacy of the medieval „Satire on Lazy Peasants”. In the Franciscan MS it faces „A Peasant Lament against the Landlords”, a poem which can also be found in a Czartoryski Library manuscript. Finally, a text quoted in one of the footnotes contains another, hitherto unknown variant of the „Peasant Lament” from 1629.
