This little-known matter was presented against the background of the changes that occurred in confectionery consumption in Western Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries. The article discusses the ingredients of confectionery products in Poland at the end of the 14th century with a special emphasis on types of sugar and various spices as well as kinds of sweets, divided into the confectes (hard products such as drops and filled candy) and the electuaria (soft products that resembled present-day preserves). The issues of the ways of supplying sugar and transferring the confection manufacturing knowledge in the late medieval Poland were considered separately. The author also focused his attention on confectioners (including Andrzej, the royal apothecary master, on top of the list) and the methods they used for sweets production. The article also tries to answer the questions of who the sweets consumers in Poland were, and on what occasions the sweets were consumed.   VL - 2016 IS - Issue 143 (3) PY - 2016 SN - 0083-4351 C1 - 2084-4069 SP - 381 EP - 405 DO - 10.4467/20844069PH.16.018.5215 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/prace-historyczne/article/andree-apothecario-pro-confectionibus-et-electuariis-cukiernictwo-w-polsce-w-czasach-jadwigi-i-wladyslawa-jagielly-miedzy-wschodem-a-zachodem-europy KW - sweets KW - confectionery KW - Jadwiga of Poland KW - Władysław Jagiełło KW - 14th–15th century
