The example of Opole convent is not typical for presenting the model of Domini-can school system in Silezia, or – on a wider scale – in Poland. Already in the Middle Ages the Dominican school in Opole did not offer education on an exceptional level, which is testified by a small number of students in Studium Generale or foreign uni-versities. No well known lectors, let alone professors came from the milieu of the Opole Dominicans. The Convent was always rather small and – additionally – in the modern era it was subject to numerous persecutions and escapes. As hitherto known sources show, the Opole Convent was not a good stepping stone to further academic career. Quite the opposite – it often constituted a venue for a quiet conventual retire-ment after years of arduous didactic work and preaching.
