    (Cracow, 1916), 133-210. This particular text, which survives as Codex 17 in
    Polkowski's Catalogue to the MSS, of Cracow cathedral, was drawn up for the coro-
    nation of Wladyslaw III in 1434, and was used as the basis for all subsequent corona-
    tion oaths during the Jagiellonian period. It was also used for the coronations of the
    elected kings of the Polish-Lithuanian Republic from 1574 to 1764, except that the
    original phrase 'regnum tibia deo concessum' (the kingdom granted to you by God)
    was amended to read 'regnum tibi a deo commisum vel concessum' (the kingdom
    entrusted or granted to you by God). As befitted the constitutional era, the ambiguous
    phrasing of the amended text left the King in some doubt about God's real intentions.
