Summary/Abstract: In this paper I present the detailed descriptions of the Italian manuscripts re-discovered recently in Kraków and considered lost in 2012 when the catalogues of the collection were being printed. The inquiries at the time revealed that four of the Italian manuscripts listed in the Lemm’s old inventory were neither in Kraków nor in Berlin as well as some other manuscripts deposited in the boxes during the Second World War. Thankfully, these boxes were discovered in 2014, and inside there were the Italian manuscripts believed to be lost forever. In order to complete the 2012 catalogues and in accordance with the criteria adopted therein, I offer the descriptions of the four manuscripts, thus completing the long-standing work of the Fibula group on Romance manuscripts from the Berlin collection.
