Abstract

King Kazimierz Jagiellończyk and his wife Elizabeth founded a priest college in 1473. Its task was to spread the cult of Lord’s Passion. The college was attached to the Świętokrzyska Chapel at the Wawel Cathedral and his members were obliged to sing daily office of the Holy Cross, and to say a votive mass of the Holy Cross as well. The Chapter Archive of the Cathedral possesses the XVth century manuscript containing the Divine office prayer of the Holy Cross alone which then belonged to the college. In the text we quote the content of the office which was especially drew up for the college’s needs.
