97:. Queen Sophia did not know Latin, and wished for a bible she could read herself. The translation started in 1433 and ceased in 1455; the work was not fully finished (some illustrations were completed only two centuries later). The primary author of the translation was the Queen's chaplain, Andrzej z Jaszowic.The fate of the codex between 1455 and 1562 is unknown . In the mid-16th century, the codex was the property of Jan Krotoski, a scholastic of the Poznań chapter. The Krotowski family funded its binding in 1562, as evidenced by the initial "IC" and the date MDLXII . In 1603 or 1604, the manuscript was found in the Krotowski family's private library by Symeon Teofil Turowski, the head of the Congregation of the Czech Brethren for the whole of Greater Poland . Later, one of the relatives donated it to the Czech Brethren from Baranów. In Baranów, it became part of the rich library of the Bełz voivode, Rafał Leszczyński (d. 1636) . In 1656, during the Swedish Deluge and after the burning of Protestant Leszno by Polish troops, Queen Zofia's Bible, together with Leszczyński's book collection, was to be taken away by Jan Jonston (1603–1675), a Scot by birth, to his estate in Składowice . However, on the way Jonston was attacked in Wschowa and the volumes of Queen Zofia's Bible were divided. Volume II went to the bookbinder Jonas Dittmann from Jawor, who used the Bible pages to bind other books, which is why volume II was almost completely destroyed.

Bandtkie , but the account he gave did not arouse interest in scholarly circles. It was only the description of the manuscript published by Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz in Volume II of " Zbiór pamiętników historii o dawnej Polszcze... " (1822) that initiated research work .
