Witraże w kościele Bożego Ciała na Kazimierzu – fundacja jagiellońska?
Stained glass Window in the Corpus Christi Church in Kazimierz: Jagiellonian Donation?

Summary/Abstract: The stained glass that is now found in window sIV of the choir of the Corpus Christi Church in Kraków's Kazimierz is merely a small part preserved from the glazing of the nine three-partite and originally 23- rowed windows of the chancel, as well as of the body and chapels of the church which was most likely funded by Casimir the Great as a parish church of the town of Kazimierz granted its privileges in 1335. The set is not homogenous as for style and time of creation; it is divided into six groups testifying to about a 100-years’s time span of the church's glazing process (ca. 1380-1480). From its first stage, executed in the 1380s, only one panel has been preserved, this featuring the Man of Sorrows and illustrating the Church's dedication. Originally it had been most likely placed in the eastern window (I) of the choir. The new glazing of window I was executed in the early 15th century, seemingly for no practical reason.
