Summary/Abstract: The article discusses five incunabula with medical content that are currently stored in the Library of the Major Seminary in Kielce. Treatises by the undisputed medieval authorities Michele Savonarola and Gentile da Foligno have been bound together in a single adligat. The binding and contents of the incunabula are characterised and specific sections, tips and prescriptions are cited. The medical achievements and biographies of the two authors mentioned above are discussed in brief. Unfortunately, at the present stage of research it is impossible to explain how the volume found its way to the Library of the Major Seminary in Kielce. It is only possible to ascertain its use in the 16th and 17th centuries through entries made after its renovation.
