The Wroclaw Codex (WarU 5892) belongs to a family of Central European mensural codices originating from the end of the 15th century and demonstrating a rich musical culture in the regions of Saxony, Silesia and Bohemia (musical manuscripts BerlS 40021, LeipU 1494, WarU 5892, HradKM 7). The present study focuses on transmission of imported polyphonic repertory within this area, and especially on the exchange between regions with different religious practices (Catholic, Utraquist). The Silesian manuscript WarU 5892 and its relations to the musical life in Bohemia show that several contemporary polyphonic compositions were imported to Silesia through Utraquist Bohemia.
