Notes
English: Inscription in Latin: LVSERAT HOC SPECVLO MAGICAS TWARDOVIUS ARTES LVSUS AT ISTE DEI VERSVS IN OBSEQVIAM EST (Twardowski played with this mirror, performing magical tricks, now it is destined to serve God). According to the legend, in 1569 the king Sigismund Augustus, who was in mourning after death of his beloved wife Barbara Radziwiłł, asked the renowned sorcerer Master Twardowski to evoke her ghost. The experiment was successful with support of a magic mirror, which today is kept in Węgrów.
