Antiphonary of Abbot Mścisław (Polish: Antyfonarz opata Mścisława) is an illuminated antiphonary from the late 14th or early 15th century.[1]
The manuscript was written and illuminated in the monastery scriptorium at Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec (currently a part of Kraków), compiled by Abbot Mścisław in the late 14th or early 15th century.[1] It contains antiphons, or songs corresponding to particular parts of the liturgy, accompanied by musical notation.[1] The antiphonary is decorated with illuminated initials.[1] After the dissolution of the monastery by the Austrians in the early 19th century, the antiphonary was moved to the Libraray of Lviv University.[1] It came to the National Library of Poland after World War II.[1] From May 2024, the manuscript is presented at a permanent exhibition in the Palace of the Commonwealth.[2][1]
