Summary/Abstract: This article addresses selected aspects of Marcin Leopolita’s biography as taken up by Marcin Szelest in his important recent paper (Muzyka, 2022/4). Sources for the study of Leopolita’s employment at the court of King Sigismund II Augustus are discussed, along with the circumstances behind his composing of the now lost Cantiones Ecclesiasticae and his hypothetical post as court organist. Earlier attempts to link the com- poser to the figure of Marcin of Lwów, rector of the Wawel castle school in Kraków in the mid-sixteenth century, are also mentioned.
