The first historically confirmed records of the library of Szczyrzyc monastery are from the time of abbot Joahim I Cieniawski (1592-1607). Among the 40 titles of books recorded during the visitation in 1597 was: six antiphonals, eight missals, five psalters, four graduals, two copies of the Bible, homiliarz, kolektarz, the life of St. Stanislaus bishop and martyr, the St. Benedict’s rule and also Liber Definitorum, which is the book of the resolution of the General Chapters of the Cistercian. The first catalogue of books was made in 1755 and was entitled Cathalogus librorum Monasterij Ciricensis iuxta alphabetum authorum mense Augusto Anno Domini 1755. Conscriptus. It is a pity that only two initials cards including a list of books within the letter “A” were preserved until modern times. Three nineteenth century inventories provide full knowledge about this collection of books taking into account the title of a book, the author’s name, the description of a book (place and year of publication) and format of a book. The person who wrote the book made their thematic segregation. Undoubtedly the number of books, titles and in particular the authors demonstrate the need and the importance which the Szczyrzyc monastery given to the books which reading had to help the monk in his pilgrimage to God.

The Cistercians of Szczyrzyc were committed for centuries to taking good care of the estate their monastery had been endowed with by Teodor Gryfita. Not only did they try to prevent it from being grabbed away by malevolent neighbours, but gradually added to it through acquisitions as well. A number of disputes, particularly over land, flared up in the second half of the 16 th century and the beginning of the 17 th century, under the rule of two Abbots – Piotr III Borowski (1565-1590) and Joachim Cieniawski (1592-1607). Both acted with much prudence and foresight to protect the estate from fraudulent neighbours, not hesitating to resort to legal action in order to establish their rights. They sought to modernise the monastery in economic terms. They legally secured it with meticulously collected documentation confirming endowments as well as all acquired or alienated property. No wonder, then, it was included among monasteries subject to the so-called Command.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries a Cistercians monastery with his subjects was constantly exposed to the inconveniences arising from the position, current conflicts, the army that stayed there or constantly marched through their territory. This all unfavourable circumstances created the chaos behind the walls of the convent, permanent fear and anxiety about the robbery done by soldiers or ordinary robbers. All abbots and priors of this convents were full of fear and anxiety about the destructions of convent and the farm buil dings, crops and farm. In the chronicles and monastic inventories there are many notes about the struggle of monk of Szczyrzyce with the destructions done to their proprieties. There were all kinds of natural disaster such as: flood, heavy and cold winters, hurricane winds, drought and fires. All of these had an influence on the quality of life behind the walls of convent and its impoverishment. Unprecedented event which took place on the night of 20/21 June 1623 was the attack of robbers whose stole the money allocated by abbot Stanisław Drohojewski (1607-1632) for the reconstruction of the convent and the fire which broke out in the convent in 1765 – at the end of the governance of abbot Florian Gotartowski (1753-1768). During this fire the stable for guests, the inn, the mill and the roof of convent’s refectory, the arbour and the church was burnt. The fire also damaged two convent’s wings (east and west).
