Summary/Abstract: Two works surviving in the codex Rps 8054 III (olim Kras 52), held in the National Library of Poland in Warsaw, have been tentatively attributed to Nicolaus de Ostrorog. The author supports Maria Szczepańska’s proposal that the name ‘N de ostrorog’ (fol. 186v) may refer to the Contratenor voice of Pastor gregis egregius only and points out that the name Nicolaus Mathie de Ostrorog is present in the matriculation roll of Kraków University (1437). Furthermore, he argues on palaeographical and codicological grounds that the fragmentary Gloria (fol. 205r) is most likely a work by Nicolaus Frangens de Leodio. An updated transcription of the part of the Gloria hidden under the protective paper slip is offered.
