It occurs to me that Prague is Czech so I wonder why that would be preferable over Polish.

There is a historical connection between Prague, i.e. the first known whereabouts of the manuscript, and the manuscript itself, but no known historical connection between Poland and the manuscript. Personally, I would prefer the name of the first known owner to the first known location.

Yes, that would have been a terrible idea. I suppose a descriptive name such as the "gallows script manuscript" could be possible.
