The publication constitutes the first of two planned parts of the critical edition of so far unknown 15th century sources for the history of the house of altarists of the Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary in Cracow (Kraków, Archiwum Narodowe, Ms. nr 3361). This paper codex, originally bound – which is worth special notice – in a parchment leaf with fragments of the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel written in Hebrew, contains a number of texts related to the functioning (from about 1387) of the house of Virgin Mary Church altarists, where priests serving at the altars of that church were to live together. In 1397 the keeping of that house was taken over by the municipal council of Cracow. It functioned according to almost unchanging rules until the end of the 17th century. The manuscript discussed here (until 1484 written in one hand) contains the calendar and the necrology of the house, relation about its foundation and endowment, statutes, a copy of a charter from the Cracow city council dated 31 December 1397, officia domus, and a catalogue of altarists and benefactors. The first part of the edition contains the calendar and the necrology (with early modern notes) and the catalogue of altarists and benefactors until mid-16th century. The publication widens the knowledge about the clergy of the most important parish church in Cracow
