Many of the marks of ownership were included in the inventory of the Library of the Cistercian Monastery in Trzebnica. Owners and history of individual book are known to us thanks to the provenience notes which Helena Szwejkowska recorded in her catalogue. The author of the abovementioned work gathered all provenience notes into a few groups, which allowed us to see how the book collection was growing. That was possible because of buying books and people who decided to give their books to the monastery library. Although it was forbidden, a lot of nuns were in private possession of books and when they died their books become part of library in Trzebnica. Abbesses of the monastery in Trzebnica were also listed in Szwejkowska’s catalogue as book’s owners. By provenience notes we can also see the connections between the monastery in Trzebnica and other Cistercian monasteries in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth eg. Lubiąż, Jemielnica, Przemęt. Also there was an exchange of books between Trzebnica and it’s branch in Owińska. Many of the books were brought to Trzebnica by priests who were confessors and sermonizers to Cistercian nuns. There are evidences that some of the books were brought to the monastery in Trzebnica by Eugeniusz Lenga (who later was an abbot in Jemielnica) and Benedykt Cieszkont (who used to be the confessor in Trzebnica). Kasper from Przemęt has to be mentioned as the one who brought some of the manuscripts. A lot of highly valuable information can be read by historians from margin notes and other marks that were written on the pages of books in the library in Trzebnica. Especially important are provenience marks from the period of the dissolution of the monastery when all the precious books were removed from Trzebnica by Johann Gustaw Büsching.

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 early printed books collection held by the University of Warsaw Library contains about 300 books printed from the 15th to the 17th century, with various marks of the 17th-century library censorship. Thanks to the provenance research conducting by the Early Printed Books Department staff we can recognize that most of these books were once held in monasteries. The purpose of this article is to present various methods of censorship, notes such as: “haereticus” or “prohibitus”, the names of authors or other people contributing to the work which were crossed out, obliterated or cut out, fragments of texts concerned heretical or salacious content – removed in different ways. Censorship marks are interesting as yet poorly explored testimonies of post-tridentine spirituality. Their analysis can bring new perspectives to the studies of sociology of religion.

The inventory from the Basilian monastic library in Uniów was created on 18 March 1789, which was connected with the dissolution of the monastery that took place in April, 1790 as a part of the regulation of a parish led in Galicia during the reign of the Emperor Joseph II. It included printed books, organized according to their formats. Among 127 printed volumes there were 106 titles, as some books had been published as a series of volumes or the library owned a few copies of the same title. The manuscripts stored in a monastic library, in a number of 20, were presented under one title. The prints date for the years 1563-1777. Publications in Latin and Polish dominated, on the third place there were Cyrillic books. As far as the content is concerned, what prevailed in the library were theological and homiletic works. The books from the library in Uniów were obtained by the Lviv University Library, where they were sorted: duplicates were given to the general seminary in Lviv and Galician gymnasiums, and publications useless in the process of education were put up for auction. The inventory from Uniów incorporated into the University Library probably shared the fate of the library collection, which was largely destroyed by the fire in the library building on 2-3 November 1848.

The University Library in Wrocław has a collection of manuscripts documenting some of the events following the promulgation of the secularisation edict by the King of Prussia, Frederick William III, on 30 October 1810, under which most catholic church institutions in Silesia, especially numerous monasteries, were dissolved. The five bound volumes of files, known as the Büsching Papers, contain: – correspondence: original letters or copies (mainly between commissioner J. G. G. Büsching, Central Secularisation Commission and special commissioners, mostly concerning organisational and financial matters); – inventories of former monastery archives, libraries and art collections; – Büsching’s protocols and notes concerning organisational and financial matters as well as movable items found in monasteries, which were of some value to science, museums, libraries or archives (e.g. numismatic objects, archaeological objects). Despite the fact that the Büsching Papers are an archive source known to scholars studying Silesian history and art, Büsching’s illegible writing has hindered access to the contents of the documents. The present inventory of the Büsching Papers is an attempt to shed some light on the documents; its aim is to provide a preliminary overview of the contents of the five German-language volumes, to simplify the search for specific documents and to encourage scholars to carry out an in-depth analysis of the manu - scripts in their research work.
