Summary/Abstract: The object of the description is the Old Polish translation of St. Paul’s Hymn to Love from manuscript no. 1399 from Biblioteka Książąt Czartoryskich (The Princes Czartoryski Library) in Kraków. This paper contains the history of the manuscript, a description of the contents of the manuscript, and the edition of the Old Polish transliterated and transcribed text with comments.

The author refers to the research carried out by Stephen Christopher Rowell, who commenced studies of the manuscript in 2003. They have not been noticed by historians of the Polish language to date. The cause of this situation could be the limitations related to the low popularity of the journal where the relic was published, to the language of the publication – English, and to the method of preparing the transliteration. The second part of the paper is the edition of the manuscript 15th-century translation of St. Paul’s Hymn to Love prepared in accordance with Zasady wydawania tekstów staropolskich. Projekt (Principles of publishing Old Polish texts. Draft) [Górski et al. 1955].
