The article analyzes a fragment of the 12th-century account of the miracles of Henry II, created for the purposes of promoting the cult of this Holy German Emperor. The article, therefore, discusses the narrative threads regarding the perception of the Slavic peoples by 12th-century Bamberg clergy, the collective authors of Miracula Sancti Heinrici, with particular emphasis placed upon the conception of promoting the cult of Henry II beyond the boundaries of the Reich and transplanting it to Poland. To that end, the article analyzes two excerpts from the manuscript, which document the intentions of transplanting the cult of the Holy Emperor to the territory of the Slavic lands, and Poland in particular. The first of those excerpts concerns an account of the miraculous healing of a Slavic man in Merseburg, while the second recounts a vision of Werner, the Bishop of Płock. Therefore, the article considers first and foremost the ideological meaning of the discussed examples excerpted from the source text, including the historical context of its creation.
