Summary:Decorated books belonging to the set of Metrica Regni Poloniae in the collection of the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw are discussed. Decoration has been identified on pages of 31 volumes dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Analysis of the collected material hasdemonstrated some affinity of the decorated books of the registrum to the illumination of documents issued by Polish monarchs.

The contribution of artists described in earlier literature has been demonstrated (Ludwik Dagobert, Wojciech DomaÒski), but also decorators previously unrecorded (Jan Rawecki, Jakub Czechowicz) have been identified.
