Summary/Abstract: Rev. Tadeusz Miazga (1906–1988) was a Polish priest, musicologist and musician. He was incardinated into the diocese of Sandomierz, one the dio-ceses in the south-eastern part of Poland led at present by Bishop Krzysztof Nitkiewicz. Miazga’s musicological legacy includes 12 books and several articles devoted mostly to the theory and history of Gregorian chant. He also composed numerous pieces of liturgical music and lectured in some Polish universities and seminaries. The study offers a short summary of the two Miazga’s articles: “The scripters of plainchant books in Poland” and “The contribution of the clergy in music in the history of Poland.” The latter work has never been published and still remains only in its typed version.
