Uwagi o kompletności Fundacji Jana Łaskiego

Abstract

This article is a general introduction on liturgical books funded by primate Jan Łaski ca. 1520 for the church in Łask. An exact number of the books is unknown, presumably there were nine of them. Seven books have been preserved until nowadays: two volumes of the Gradual, two volumes of the Antiphonary, two Psalters and one Cantatorium. Actually, the Graduals and one of the Psalters remain in the State Archive in Łodź, both volumes of the Antiphonary in the Church Archive in Łask, the second Psalter in the Museum of Musical Instruments in Poznań, and cantatorium in the Library of the St. Mary’s Church in Kalisz. It can be stated with certainty that one volume of the Antiphonary is missing (originally there were three of them). There was likely one more book in the foundation – the author presumes that this was a missal.
