Founded in the 17th century, the Bernardine Monastery in Berezhany found itself under the Austrian Habsburg rule in 1772. The Austrian authorities required that inventories be taken frequently, even every few years. The Bernardine Fathers (Franciscan Observants) from Berezhany compiled an inventory in 1825 and did not copy it in the following years (1828, 1831, 1833–1838, 1840), only recording losses and acquisitions. The bishop of the local diocese and the provincial of the order made sure that the requirements of the Austrian authorities were fulfilled. The inventories were taken personally by the Bernardine Fathers from the Berezhany monastery. Next, a commission made up of representatives of state and church authorities verified the compliance of the inventory with the actual state affairs, with the commission members putting their signatures and seals to the document. The inventories were used not only by the Austrian authorities but also by Bernardine provincials to control the financial status of the various monasteries. In addition, the inventories were presented and approved during provincial chapters.

The present article contains an edition of selected documents relating to the dissolution of the Bernardine Monastery in Toruń, to be found in the Kwidzyń Region (Regierung Marienwerder) fonds kept in the State Archives in Gdańsk. The documents come from a bound volume of records entitled Property of the Bernardine Monastery in Toruń 1817 (Das Vermögen des Bernhardiner=Klösters in Thorn 1817). The edition in question comprises the entire archival unit made up of an inventory taking report and the inventory of the monastery’s property itself. The latter consists of four parts, presented in a table: 1 – sum total of the monastery’s assets, divided into immovable property and invested capital, and liabilities; 2 – the monastery’s other income from immovable property, invested capital and rents, as well as income in kind; 3 – detailed description of the church furnishings; 4 – list of the monastery’s tools, crockery and kitchen vessels. The source presented in the article provides an insight into the condition of the monastic household and furnishing of the church a few years before its dissolution.

The local topography in Opatów is represented by two characteristic buildings – the Romanesque Collegiate Church of St. Martin and the later Bernardine Monastery and Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the article we analyse the place of the monastery in the local collective memory with regard to its complex relations with the collegiate church, drawing on various accounts (individual and institutionalised). We ask how the narratives focused on both these institutions make up a dynamic conglomeration of meanings, defining their mutual local symbolism. In addition, we demonstrate how this symbolic influence on the level of social practices extends to spheres like the perception of the local topography and functioning of a religious institution (parish) in the life of the local community.

The article presents 40 early printed books, acquired from different monasteries, which currently belong to the collection of the Franciscan Provincial Library in Gniezno. Initially, they were handed over from dissolved monasteries to – among other institutions – the Archdiocesan Archive Library and the Seminary Library in Gniezno, where they remained between 1836 and 1975. In 1975, the then Gniezno-Warszawa metropolitan archbishop, cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, returned to the Gniezno Franciscans the early printed books which they had been in possession of before the 1831 suppression. However, seven manuscripts and 63 incunabula remained in the libraries of the Gniezno Archdiocese. The manuscripts have been recorded in the catalogues of the seminary library prepared by Tadeusz Trzciński, Arkadiusz Marian Lisiecki, and Jadwiga Rył. The incunabula from the seminary library of the cathedral library in Gniezno are present in the catalogue created by Fr Leon Formanowicz before World War II, and supplemented in the 1960’s by Fr Julian Wojtkowski. Further information on the incunabula of the Franciscan monastery library in Gniezno can be found in a catalogue prepared by Jadwiga Rył. By way of compensation for these manuscripts and incunabula, the Gniezno monastery received 58 early printed books of different provenance from the duplicates owned by the Archdiocesan Archive Library and the Seminary Library. Among them there were items from dissolved Greater Poland monasteries as well as from Polish and private foreign book collections. Moreover, in 2008–2013, the author – librarian at the Franciscan Provincial Library in Gniezno – incorporated 17 early printed books, a bibliophile inheritance from the deceased fellow brothers, and books personally acquired at fairs from private collectors, into the library’s special collection section. Bibliographic descriptions presented in the catalogue of early printed books have been compared with foreign central catalogues available online. Descriptions of individual features of the items have been prepared in compliance with the Polish version of the international standard of early printed books description ISBD(A).
