Summary/Abstract: The paper is an attempt at solving the question of when and how the so-called GoldenBull of Rimini was written up. It was a privilege dated March 1226, in which Emperor Fre-derick II Hohenstauf confi rmed to the Teutonic Order the planned donation from Duke Konrad Iof Masovia and granted to them rights to possess all the lands that the Order would conquerin Prussia, along with broad rights of supreme authority. The author undertakes a discussionwith the views on the genesis of the Golden Bull formulated by Sylvain Gouguenheim andTomasz Jasiński, and presents his own stance regarding the time and contexts of writing upthe Golden Bull in the version known today.
