The Polish Office for St James the Greater
Abstract
The article deals with the historia for the feast day of St James, copied in the fourteenth-century antiphonary from Kielce. The text is based on the apocryphal life of the Apostle, while music makes occasional use of melodies originally composed for historiae of St Adalbert, St Stanislaus and St Hedwig of Silesia. The Office, written in prose and verse, apparently by some Polish author ca. 1300–50, was not edited in Analecta Hymnica and perhaps that is the reason why it has been neglected by Polish musicologists so far.
