The article presents the convent book collection of the Norbertine Sisters in Ibramowice. Its beginnings date back to the first half of the 18th century. The convent was rebuilt after the fi re in 1710. Then its greatest benefactor, the Rev. Dominik Lochman, made an effort to found a library to which he himself gave a lot of books. The library established by the Rev. Lochman grew bigger throughout the following years. The books mainly came from donors, but some of them were brought by sisters who entered the convent, including those nuns who were resettled from dissolved convents, for example from Busko. The present–day book collection is divided into five categories: manuscripts, antique books, nineteenth-century books, modern books and magazines. The size of the book collection is not exactly known. So far it has been possible to confirm the existence of about 30 music manuscripts, which were written from the 18th to the 19th century, over 800 antique books and over 300 titles of magazines. The most valuable books are the thirteenth-century antiphonaries of Płock, the fifteenthcentury gradual and a few extremely rare antique books.

The Norbertine Sisters Convent in Ibramowice was founded at the beginning of the 13th century. It has survived until the present day; in the 15th century the nuns were transferred to Busko for some time, so it was only once in its history that this nunnery existed outside Ibramowice. The archive of the convent suffered considerable losses over centuries: in 1710 the church and the convent were consumed by fi re, in 1820 the convent was deprived of its manors and, in consequence, it was divested of a large number of the most precious records. At present the archive in Ibramowice consists of several archival collections. The open collection comprises the documentation of the convent office in Ibramowice (“The Norbertine Sisters Convent in Ibramowice”). The rest collections are the ones to which documentation is no longer added. They contain a certain number of archival units, including: 1) the remnants of the offi ce documentation of the nunneries -the Norbertine and Cistercian Sisters- from which the nuns were resettled in Ibramowice in the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th centuries, 2) the legacy of different people who were somehow connected with the convent in Ibramowice (e.g. chaplains). The majority of the archival collection of the Norbertine Sisters in Ibramowice is on microfilm.

In the Archives of the Norbertine Sisters in Imbramowice, among many important documents, there is the “The register of the things donated to the church after it had burnt down written on 1 August in 1712.” It was probably drawn up at the behest of abbess Zofia Grothówna, who managed the convent for almost forty years. Appointed to this function on 4 August 1703, she held office until her death, which occurred on 31 May 1741. The first notes about the donated things appeared in the registry on 1 August 1712, and it was almost entirely supplemented during the life of Zofia Grothówna. Only one, the last note was entered on 23 April 1742, during the reign of abbess Katarzyna Bąkowska and it concerns a chasuble given to the convent by her. There were a number of donors who supported the convent in Imbramowice in those difficult times. Among the donors there were both clergy and laymen. Abbess Zofia Grothówna was the one who gave the most things. In addition, Rev. Dominik Lochman donated a great number of valuable things. The information on donations are written in a very explicit way in the registry, which includes the information on the items handed over to the convent as well as the identity of individual donors. The registry information is arranged according to the time of its transfer to the convent. The objects listed in the registry are accompanied by a brief description, including the material which they were made of and the names of the donors.

The article describes illness and death behind the walls of the convent of the Norbertine in Ibramowice in light of The Chronicle Sophia Grothówna from the years 1703-1741. Health problems and death in human life are two inevitable events. As a people we know this is unavoidable and we will meet every existence. Sisters of Mary also were afflicted with minor or major health problems. The nuns lived in damp conditions. At the monastery Imbramowice flows flows the river Dłubnia, causing a humid environment. Nuns in Imbramowice had to contend with difficult housing conditions after a fire in 1710. Norbertine's coped with the diseases in various ways:leaving for treatment to spas (with the consent of the bishop and the abbess), or waiting for assistance of a barber, doctors came less frequently. The article contains also diseases to which the sisters suffered. In the second part, the paper describes the death of sisters and everything that is associated with it. Every act of dying featured in the pages of The Chronicle abbes Grothówna was dramatic. After the death of a Norbertine followed by a funeral, if the nun exercised a high function at the monastery burial was very solemn and distinguished guests arrived. The Sisters of Mary also organized refreshments for the poor people, to help the dead and prayed for a specified period of time. The article includes a list of all the sisters residing at the monastery in Imbramowice over the years 1703-1741. The table presents information: date of commencement of the novitiate, professed, perpetual function each nun and date of death.

The article describes the echoes of events from the outside world in an enclosed Norbertine convent in Imbramowice and is mainly based on records taken from The Chronicle of Sophia Grothówna from the years 1703-1741. Although the Norbertine monastery was (and still is) enclosed, it maintained communications with the outside world on a regular basis but unwillingly. This article discusses just such situations. Sisters had to contend with numerous military invasions, requesting ever larger contributions and looting the surroundings belonging to the nuns’ granges. During the wars of the seventeenth century a number of plague broke out, which reached the surrounding areas in Imbarmowice. The peasants contracted the plague from the army. In other events, there were the outbreak of fires, the largest broke out in 1704, and many sisters had to leave the monastery and move to other monasteries or return to their homes. The reconstruction of the monastery took almost 20 years. The article describes information about the floods, strong winds, hunger, cold and drought that ravaged the monastery and caused major damage in convent farms.

In the Archive of the Norbertine Sisters in Imbramowice in the folder entitled The list of things donated to the church of the Norbertine Sisters in Imbramowice there is The register of all church things written on 25 October, 1862. The inventory of 1862 was drawn up when Bronisława Switanowska was the superior of the convent. The period of her reign was the time of changes for the convent in Imbramowice. At fi rst there were no major obstacles in monastic life, and in those times of relative prosperity on 25 October, 1862 a list of things belonging to the convent was made. We learn from it that the convent church was in possession of the following church vestments: chasubles – 43, copes – 10, albs – 23, amises – 29, purifi cators – 45, corporals – 17, palls – 50, antependia 41. Under the goldsmithery the entry includes: candlesticks: silver – 22, tin – 6, wooden 51, porcelain – 2, tinplated – 2, metal – 6, brass – 1; b) chalices – 6, c) monstrances – 1, reliquaries – 4, a pyx – 1 The register also contains a number of other items, such as carpets, surplices, etc. Paintings and sculptures are not included. This register is particularly valuable because the chronicles relating to that period were written only in 1924, therefore, they are of a retrospective type. Analyzing the inventory of 1862, it can be noticed that some things were given or done by the nuns living in a convent. The register also includes the objects that convent acquired in 1863, 1864, 1866 and 1867. Those are the inventories from the period particularly diffi cult for the convent. The January Uprising initiated great changes. And the year 1864 was extremely critical for Imbramowice as it was then when, after the collapse of the uprising, the convent was ordered to be close down. As the records show at that time donations also came from the Norbertine Sisters in Imbramowice. In addition, the Norbertine Sisters of Pinczów (Busk) after the liquidation of their convent brought their possession to Imbramowice in 1864. The last two registers come from the years 1866 and 1867.
