Abecedariusz
Abecedary, alphabetical (from Latin abecedarius, alphabetical) - a literary work in which consecutive words, verses or stanzas begin with the next alphabetical letters. The Abecedary is a special variation of acrostic (which is a horizontal version of the song, in which simultaneously defined vertical groups of characters have their own meaning). The offspring were primarily mnemotechnologists - making it easier to memorize the text - or ornamental. The mnemotechnical function of these works ceased to matter after the invention of printing - from that moment, the abecedents were used only to show the high skill of the author.
Depending on which composition starts with the next alphabet, different types of alphabet are distinguished, eg, simple alphabets (consecutive alphabetic characters start the first verse of each stanza) or continuous subscript (each word begins with the next letter alphabet).
Some of the Bible psalms were in the original form. Other examples of such works include The case of the dying, Augustus when he was crowned by Ladislaus of Gielniow, the Siege of Belgrade by Julian Tuwim, and Ah, what a lovely alphabet by Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński. Bibliography
