Keywords: "Bogurodzica"; cento

Summary/Abstract: Jerzy Pikulik refers to the statements and suggestions of musicologists working on "Bogurodzica". Surzyński distinguished phrase components, and Feicht indicated their sources. Since the melody is a cento composed of the already known elements, it is only on the basis of their combination (melodic jumps) that we can exclude its dating before 13th century.
