Description: This collection presents Polish secular polyphonic songs from the 16th century dealing with royal themes and historical events. It brings together all currently discovered works of this type in a single volume, providing a valuable document of Polish musical and literary culture during the Renaissance.

Each work is accompanied by its complete text, a brief historical commentary and information about its sources and previous editions. Some of the compositions are published here for the first time.
