The keeping of the scriptorium and chancery by the first Polish Paulines dates back to the first half of the 15th century. It was mainly focused on copying liturgical and related books used for pastoral purposes, legal documentation and history, which included among others the history of the image of Our Lady (Translacio tabule) and the Chronicle of Wincenty Kadłubek. In the 16th century the scriptorium of Jasna Góra undertook the documentation of religious life in the sanctuary, including the first reports of pilgrims and records of confreres, as a response to the attacks of the Reformation. At the same time the scriptorium created the first cartularies and other books containing legal processes, inventories, as well as library and account records. The development process of the chancery has reached its peak in the early 17th century, when Fr. Mikołaj Staszewski (1595-1658), a former employee of the Curia of Poznań, later Provincial and General of the Pauline Order, entered the Board of the Order and introduced a new style of copying files. He also initiated the process of writing Pauline chronicles – first of the Polish Province and then of the whole Order, and introduced relevant secretarial standards to the religious constitution, of which he was the main inspirer and contractor. Currently the Polish Pauline Archives store 71 medieval manuscripts from Polish scriptoria, and more than 40 cartulary books from the modern era, among which only one Formulare obedientiarum salutationum et epistolarum variarum of Dionizy Klękowski (1599-1675) contains 1053 copies of various documents and correspondence from the period 1367-1673.

From the very beginning of its existence, the Pauline Order paid attention to the need to educate and develop the intellectual life of its members. This resulted from the adoption of St. Augustine’s rule by the community, which in addition to the principles governing the common life also emphasized the intellectual formation of the friars by providing them with access to books. The fulfilment of the obligations resulting from the rule and the subsequent legislation of the convent meant that every Pauline monastery was equipped with a larger or smaller library. It was no different in the case of St. Martin's convent in Oporów, which had existed since 1453 thanks to the foundation of the brothers Piotr and Władysław from the powerful Oporowski family, with the Sulima coat of arms. The monastery library was probably established soon after the foundation of the monastery. It was used primarily by preachers, who prepared Sunday and Christmas sermons, as well as by other monks, if they were authorized to do so. The beginnings of the library are unknown due to the lack of sources from that period. Only the eighteenth-century catalogues of books shed light on the functioning of the library, albeit in a limited period of time 1711-1753. To this day, 13 library inventories have survived, providing welcome information about the intellectual life of the local Pauline monks, titles of books along with the names of the authors and the division of bibliographic material into various thematic categories. The image of the Oporów library is complemented by 47 old prints of Oporów provenience, which are now the property of the University Library in Warsaw. Although their number is insignificant and constitutes only a fraction of the former assets of the library, nevertheless it turns out to be helpful in the analysis of the resources of the Pauline library and the development of intellectual horizons of its users. The analysis of the preserved archival materials is the first attempt to restore the library of the Oporów monastery in the century preceding its irretrievable disappearance in the course of the convent’s annulment.

The Pauline Order came to Topolno in 1685 by invitation of Adam Zygmunt Konarski and his brother Andrzej Konarski. In the years 1772–1783, Prussians took over the village of Cieleszynek. As in the whole of Poland, the monastery estates exercised corvée with animals and on foot. The following crops were grown on the monastery farms: rye, wheat, oats, barley, peas and green buckwheat. The crops were used for sowing, consumption in the monastery and at the farm. Livestock farming was complementary, its main purpose was to provide oxen and horses for work. There were mills, breweries and distilleries processing farm products. The revenues were dominated by competencies paid for lands confiscated by the Prussian state. Among the expenses, the following were dominant: costs of construction, renovation and artistic works. In 1810, the Prussian king dissolved the monastery, but the Pauline monks worked in the parish until 1818.

Paulinów do Topolna sprowadzili w 1685 r. Adam Zygmunt Konarski i jego brat Andrzej Konarski. W latach 1772-1783 r. prusacy przejęli wieś Cieleszynek. W dobrach klasztoru, jak w całej Rzeczpospolitej obowiązywała pańszczyzna sprzężajna i piesza. W folwarkach klasztornych uprawiano: żyto, pszenicę, owies, jęczmień, groch i tatarkę. Plony były wydatkowane m.in. na zasiewy, spożycie w klasztorze i folwarku. Gospodarka hodowlana miała charakter uzupełniający, a jej głównym celem było dostarczenie siły pociągowej w postaci wołów i koni. W dobrach klasztornych działały młyny, browary i gorzelnie przerabiające produkty folwarczne. Wśród przychodów dominowały kompetencje wypłacanych za skonfiskowane przez państwo pruskie dobra ziemskie. Wśród wydatków dominowały: koszty prac budowlanych, remontowych i artystycznych. W 1810 r. król pruski skasował klasztor, jednak paulini pracowali w parafii do 1818 r.
