- Abstract
The subject of the article is an unknown account of late Medieval Passion with the incipit "Pozdrowion bądź, Krzyżu Święty" ("Be regarded, holly Cross") found by the author of the paper. The handwritten relic is preserved in incunabulum (signature 000298), it contains Jacobus de Voraigne's Legendae de sanctis (Golden Legend), and belongs to the Diocesan Library in Sandomierz. The hymn is a closing part of a passion sermon and functions as a marginal note on 76 recto page next to a Latin text De passione Domini. It was composed at the end of the 15th c. or at the beginning of the 16th c. The recovered piece belongs to song and prose offspring of Venantius Fortunatus entitled Vexilla regis prodeunt, and more specifically one of its stanza „O crux, ave, spes unica...” It offers a presentation of Jesus Passion typical of dolorism and the issues of compassio, also representative of it. The article discusses the kinship of this hymn with other pieces of this kind, sketches the religious-cultural background on which the piece was composed and reviews all other Polish texts which regard the Cross.
