Sommario/riassunto

In early Medieval Western Europe intellectuals were used to indicate the



external location of Slavic countries, as though outside civilization, with the term ‘the North’. The problem did not only concern nomenclature. The stereotype associated with ‘the North’ pointed at the obvious cold weather, but also the primeval nature of the land and people. This study shows the detailed image of Poland created by German authors in the earliest period of existence of the Piast state (963-1034). An important aim of this work was also to identify the wider context of written opinions. Another purpose was to gather information illustrating actions taken by the Polish rulers aimed at creating an image of themselves as civilized men and true Christians.

Note generali

The first leaf is blank; the last leaf bears Nicholas Okes' mark.

P. 254 misnumbered 252.

In this edition A3r has the heading in 9 lines; G2r line 6 has "wel"; N4r last line begins "peeces"; some mixture of sheets with STC 13779 may occur. A5r-7r and A8r-B1r are in the same setting as STC 13779.

This setting of B-R is likely, from the state of the cut on K3r, to be earlier than 13779, and quire A, in spite of the date, may also be earlier (STC).
