Summary/Abstract: The article presents a hitherto unknown Polish text which was written on one sheet of paper about the middle of the fifteenth century and which was recently discovered in the Archive of the Archdiocese of Gniezno (Ms. Fragm. 312). It is all that remains of some larger manuscript which was written very carefully in Polish. Given the small size of the text, it is very difficult to identify its literary genre. Most likely it is a passage from an erudite sermon or some other penitentiary work.
