Summary/Abstract: The Polish Historical Monuments (Monumenta Poloniae Historica, MPH) is a six-volume publication (1864–1893, reprint 1960–1961) collecting narrative sources on the Polish Middle Ages and early modern times. To this day, it remains one of the fundamental methodology tools for Polish medievalists. After World War II, a re-edition of individual monuments began, which initiated the New Series of MPH (Nova Series). To this day, about 30 percent of the contents of the old MPH has been re-edited. The further fate of the series is the subject of the author’s deliberations.
