The search engine (limited & basic plugins) has certain difficulties in displaying the proper chronological order of manuscripts (always throwing the 9th-century manuscript from Gniezno at the end of the list). Therefore, please be careful while using the chronological ordering of the data.

Here is the description of the terms used for dating the manuscripts:

in – ineunte (the beginning of the century)

med – medio (the middle of the century)

ex – exeunte (the end of the century)

(1/2) – (the first half of the century)

(2/2) – (the second half of the century)

If you found any inaccuracies in the database, please let me know. I will be very grateful for your improvements.
