Doesn't this overlap with History of Poland (966–1385)? Adam Bishop 01:45, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Manuscripts are not a literature
The article:
Thus the earliest examples of Polish literature were written in Latin language. Among them are the Gospels from Gniezno and Płock, Codex aureus and Codex aureus Pultoviensis, dating from as early as the second half of the eleventh century. Other notable examples of early Polish books include the Bishop Ciołek'a Latin Missal and Olbracht's Gradual.
These are manuscripts and have nothing to do with Polish literature. In the same way we can attribute the Latin Gospels from France to French literature , what makes an equal sense. Codices including Latin literature can be called Polish only as they were written (kept) in Poland. But presence of Augustine of Hippo in a Polish codex does not make him a Polish writer, does it? The same with missals and graduals, common liturgical books. This is already the second article in English Wiki I found which makes the same error. Kameal (talk) 21:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
