The paper presents historical Dominican library in Różanystok of the first half of the 19th century from the perspective of documentation and typographical centers. Books of these centres were placed in the Order of Preachers located on the border of historical Polish Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Components such as the language and publishing provenance were used in the Dominican historical books. Links between different cultural books’ institutions and above all differences between regions are showed in this paper. The basic sources are the inventories from the first half of the19th century, which contain bibliographic descriptions and enable better identification of books. Despite the binding Dominican’s rules, the results indicate the characteristics of the libraries and differences between them in various regions.

The book printing in Slovakia did not start to noticeably flourish until the 16th century. The historical lyceum library in Kežmarok maintains Slovakia-related works from that period of time that were produced mainly by two printing workshops in Bardejov. They are mostly theological prints the contents of which deal with worshipping of church paintings, which many priests wanted to have removed. The Slovak nature of the sources is, besides the place of publication (the territory of present-day Slovakia), assessed according to other three criteria, i.e. author, content and language. However, the four points of view mentioned above often overlap. The largest part of Slovakia-related prints in Kežmarok lyceum library is made up of documents linked to Slovakia in terms of content. They are various monographs, occasional poems, speeches, sermons et cetera. On the contrary, the smallest group is formed by documents related to Slovak language, as German language books dominate over those written in Latin or Hungarian, which is only natural because the library was located in then German environment. Slovak books appeared there sporadically, most of the time for the purpose of ministry among the Slovak population. The copies preserved to date are also interesting with regard to their owners: the books were donated to the library by professors and students as well as by many notable aristocratic families.
