Summary/Abstract: The article discusses 15th-century Polish invocations and supplications to God, Jesus, Mary and the saints. The research material is robust and varied. The invocations have been discovered in numerous manuscripts of varied contents and provenance, located in different part of the codex and the text, and they have often assumed different forms. Published in volumes of marginalia, footnotes and comments, they ceased to exist in selections of medieval prayers where, due to their historical and genological character, they should have been placed. The article discusses the history of their creation and describes the medieval practice of inscribing those kinds of prayers into the margins of 15th-century manuscripts.
