Summary/Abstract: The Krakow Missale has been supposed to originate at the end of the 15th century but its ornaments refer to the Czech book painting of the first half of the 15th century. The antiphonary of Zbigniew Oleśnicki plays an important role in this context. The local ornaments are the work of a workshop specialist undoubtedly of the Czech origin. The identic ornamental system of the Krakow missale shows that the manuscript is the work of the workshop of the Antiphonary of Zbigniew Oleśnicki. The Krakow missale can therefore be supposed to be dated as of 1520.
