The article aims to reconstruct and contextualize a parchment fragment stored at the Franciscan Nunnery of the Saint Clare Order at Stary Sącz. The fragment has unusual features: the Latin text, music staff, and music notation are enormously large, contrasting features of other Stary Sącz liturgical books. The analysis reveals that the fragment is in line with other Kraków diocese manuscripts and was not originally part of the nunnery’s collection. The reconstruction of the folio indicates that the original manuscript, whether gradual or sequentiary, was unusually large, even larger than the famous Krakow Jan Olbracht Gradual. Moreover, the fragment bears witness to the production of at least one oversized liturgical book – an elephant-sized manuscript –, which took place on the territory of the Krakow diocese, probably in the late 15th century.

This article is devoted to the recently attributed eight parchment strips stored in the Сollection of the Archdiocese Archives in Gniezno (MS Fragm. 244). These fragments have not previously appeared in the scientific literature, so the main purpose of this publication is to inform the scientific community about the new sources and their introduction into circulation. All the bits are written with the Ustav script. These fragments were separated from two different Church Slavonic codices as the analysis of handwriting and the content has shown. Six strips belong to the one manuscript with the text from the New Testament. These are two incomplete passages from Eph 3,14–21 and Eph 4,14–16, that allow identifying the original codex as Apostol Aprakos. Two other strips from the liturgical codex. They contain excerpts from prayers, which were read at the evening service on the eve of the feast of the Trinity. The attribution of the content of these two strips has allowed us to consider them an additional part of the Liturgiсon. Those fragments may be dated to the 12th – 13th centuries according to the studies of the material side of the pieces, palaeography of scripts, graphic and orthographic identification, and linguistic features.
