Summary/Abstract: The sequences of Adam of St Victor were dealt with in detail years ago by Jerzy Pikulik. Heaccepted the number of about 40 sequences that he was certain to be authored by Adam of St Victor.However, through a review of Pikulik’s recent articles, we can establish a total of 58 such worksof Adam’s. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present the results of a requery of Polish ma-nuscript sources and to delineate the successive titles of sequences by Adam of St Victor that occurin Polish lands. We also establish the presence of six other sequences in Polish transmissions: Quamdilecta tabernacula, Iocundare plebs fidelis, Hodiernae lux diei, Precursorem summi regis, Laudescrucis attollamus, Mane prima sabati. In addition, we also subject the above compositions to a musi-cological analysis and indicate contemporary possibilities of creative use of the texts and melodies ofthe poet and composer of interest.
