Abstract
This text addresses issues raised by Grzegorz Joachimiak, who announced the discovery of an unknown photocopy of the lost keyboard tablature from the Holy Spirit Monastery in Kraków in Muzyka 69 (2024) no. 2. Evidence is presented that the reproduction made for Harvard University was produced in 1938 and that the pencil inscriptions, introduced by Aleksander Poliński probably c.1913, were present in the manuscript at that time. Some faded annotations were then corrected for the photographs ordered by the Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung in Berlin, which were taken afterwards.
