Antiphonary of Abbot Mścisław (Polish: Antyfonarz opata Mścisława) is an illuminated antiphonary from the late 14th or early 15th century.[2]
The manuscript was written and illuminated in the monastery scriptorium at Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec (currently a part of Cracow), compiled by Abbot Mścisław in the late 14th or early 15th century.[2] It contains antiphons, or songs corresponding to particular parts of the liturgy, accompanied by musical notation.[2] The antiphonary is decorated with illuminated initials.[2] After the dissolution of the monastery by the Austrians in the early 19th century, the antiphonary was moved to the Libraray of Lviv University.[2] It came to the National Library of Poland after World War II.[2] From May 2024, the manuscript is presented at a permanent exhibition in the Palace of the Commonwealth.[3][2]
