Summary/Abstract: From the Middle Ages some manuscripts are preserved from different ecclesiastical centres both in Poland and in Silesia. After the secularizations of the ecclesiastical goods in 19th century they were stored in different archives and libraries. Many of the Silesian manuscripts have been already described but others and are still waiting for further analysis. In the medieval liturgy they were in use many books: Graduals, Lectionaries, Gospel Books, the collections of homilies, Sacramentaries, Pontificals, Rituals, Martyrologies, Passionals, etc., and at the and of this period also the Missals and Breviaries. The most precious are the codes included among the sets of Liber Ordinarius.
