Nieznany psałterz fundacji Jana Łaskiego

Abstract

This article is a general introduction of a Psalter funded by primate Jan Łaski (1456- 1531). Nowadays the Psalter remains in the Museum of Musical Instruments in Poznań. There is a lack of clarity about the book due to the fact that Jan Łaski funded also another psalter, which is located in the State Archive in Łódź. Both Psalters, although different in their designs, carry identical liturgical contents, put together in hardly changed order. There are two premises indicating that the Psalter from Poznań was funded for a church in Łask. The first one is the primate’s coat of arms, placed in the initial on page 105. The second one is a side note made by Father Grzegorz Augustynik in 1917. Both features can be found in other books funded by Jan Łaski. Author of this article identified the Psalter in the Fall of 2012. Nevertheless, the book requires further research.
