Summary/Abstract: In the archives of the Corpus Christi Church in Kraków there is a ledger (Expensa pecuniae) that was maintained by the sacristans during the years 1616-1676. The author or this paper analyzed the entries which reflect music-related expenses. The monks paid the singers or instrumentalists for enhancing the liturgy. The first part of the ledger refers to the period between 1616 and 1652. The Swedish invasion interrupted the process of maintaining the ledger. The document proves a high-level music culture cultivated in the monastery in Kraków.
