Abstract

In 1397 a group of Carmelites left Prague in Bohemia and traveled to Krakow, Poland to establish a new foundation. The new convent later established its own scriptorium, which produced numerous codices, including liturgical choir books, manuscripts from the Polish Carmelite convent of Lwow were later added to the collection. The surviving codices now number twenty-five choir books from both the medieval and Tridentine eras. Table 1 gives an entire list of the Carmelite Codices of Krakow. Table 2 enumerates the feast celebrated in the medieval Krakow Carmelite liturgy. These codices offer valuable insights into Carmelite liturgical practices before and after the Council of Trent.
