The paper introduces the life story of a long-time prior and Abbot Bernard Tomáš Wancke (1651-1714, abbot 1709-1714) on the basis of various types of narrative and official sources originating in the Premonstratensian abbey Klášterní Hradisko u Olomouce. Soon after his death he was proclaimed abbas Marianus, which evoked his merits in the prosperity of the pilgrim site at Svatý Kopeček u Olomouce to which two of his printed works are dedicated – a narrative about miracles (Continuatio gratiarum dated 1711) and a handbook for pilgrims (Mons Praemonstratus, id est genuia desriptio sacri et gratiis Marianis longe, lateque refulgentis Montis dated 1713). Besides these, he published in print a genealogic work dedicated to St. Norbert (Seminarium olivarum) in 1701.
