Bishop Tomicki's Missal is a printed missal from 1532. [1] [2]
Contents
The missal was published in 1532 in Venice by Peter Liechtenstein for the diocese of Kraków in Poland and was compiled at the request of Bishop Piotr Tomicki. [1] [2] The most important elements of the Roman Catholic liturgy were the same everywhere, but some local differences existed such as additional prayers or a different calendar of saints, so this gave rise to the need to develop diocesan missals. [1] One of the copies was in the Tarnowski collection in Dzików Castle in Tarnobrzeg in Poland. [1] The National Library of Poland purchased the Dzików library in 2009. [1] From May 2024, a copy of the missal is presented at a permanent exhibition in the Palace of the Commonwealth. [3] [1]
The book contains 388 leaves in folio format and musical notation. [2] It is printed in red and black. On the title page there is a woodcut depicting saints Stanislaus and Florian. [2]
