Summary/Abstract: There are many Church-Slavonic manuscripts in Poland which came from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and testified about the history of Orthodox and Greek-Catholic Churches. Many of these manuscripts were written in 16th or 17th centuries. The Lublin Union of 1569 led to a transference of Church-Slavonic manuscripts to Poland from the residents of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania who were Orthodox as a rule. Most of these manuscripts are described in the Catalogue of Alexander Naumow and Andrzej Kaszlej in 2004 but several small collections that are kept now in church organizations were not included in the Catalogue. Among them are two church organizations in Warsaw: the Archive of the O.S.B.M. cloister where 10 Church-Slavonic manuscripts of 16th -18th centuries are kept, and the Library of the Centre of the Orthodox Culture of St. Cyril and Methodius where 5 manuscripts of 17th-20th centuries are found. The paper analyses the history of previously unknown Church-Slavonic manuscripts. There is a description of the manuscripts in the Supplement excluding the two Irmologions that were described earlier by Jurij Jasinovsky.
