The purpose of this paper is to outline the development of Krakow preaching in the Middle Ages, particularly its panorama in the 15th and early 16th centuries. In the late Middle Ages, Cracow was the largest ecclesiastical center in the Kingdom of Poland. The mendican monasteries of the Dominicans, Franciscans and Franciscan Observants, as well as the University of Krakow, played a special role in the development of preaching in the Krakow tri-city. Until the beginning of the 15th century, the Dominicans and Franciscans also provided preaching services at the cathedral and the monarchical court at Wawel Castle. After them, this ministry was taken over by professors of Krakow University. Their preaching activities and works were very diverse, aimed not only at the elite circles (court, church, intellectual), but also at the broad strata of society.
