Abstract
The paper presents an experiment intended to overcome the problem of searching for different spelling variants in old Polish prints. In the case of The Digital Library of Polish and Poland-related Ephemeral Prints from the 16th, 17th and 18th Centuries two concurrent layers of text (transliteration and transcription) underlying selected digital library items are available in the related Electronic Corpus of the 17th and 18th Century Polish Texts (until 1772). Both variants are retrieved and a double-hidden layer representation of a sample item is prepared and made available for textual searching in a PDF containing its scanned image. The experiment can be generalized to other libraries dealing with multiple concurrent textual interpretations of graphical items.
The work was financed by a research grant from the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education under the National Programme for the Development of Humanities for the years 2019–2023 (grant 11H 18 0413 86, grant funds received: 1,797,741 PLN).

The intention of transliteration is accurate representation of the graphemes of a text while transcription is concerned with representing its phonemes.
