Searches conducted during the years 2005–2006 at the National Museum in Warsaw revealed an interesting collection of musical sources which had remained unnoticed until then. Alongside liturgical manuscripts from the 13th– 17th centuries, which are the subject of a separate article1, the Museum houses a collection of early music prints. It is not an extensive collection, a mere 13 volumes (20 titles), nor a homogeneous one, but for a number of reasons it deserves a closer inspection, since among the prints we find items regarded as lost during the Second World War, as well as rare or unique copies. The music prints held at the National Museum Library in Warsaw include: 1) seven volumes of polyphonic music from the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (ref. nos SD 727–733); 2) three liturgical books (ref. nos SD 341, 347, 940); 3) two cantionals (ref. nos 715, 2533); and 4) the score of Proserpine by Jean Baptiste Lully (ref. no. SD 2038)2. A detailed list of these prints is given in the Appendix; below we simply give a brief commentary on the particular groups of sources3.
