Polish archives and m useum s contain ex ten siv e c o lle c tions o f seals. C on d u cted stud ies d em onstrate a considerable d eg ree o f damage incurred to th o se objects, the prime reason b ein g mechanical injuries, prod u cin g n umerous gaps. Th e su p p lem en ta tion o f missing fragments o f w a x seals can be co n d u c ted w ith o u t or with the reconstruc tion o f the seal relief. T h e former m eth od con sists in a flat su p p lem en ta tion o f the gap in the shape o f the seal, in a to n e slightly lighter than the original and 1-2 mm. low e r than the relief. T h e p resented con se rv a tion realisations testify to the p osib ility o f a so-ca lled mechanical r econstruction o f wa x seals i.e. their faithful c op y in g , which requires spec ialised sphragistic-historical research. Such undertakings are feasible w ith the aid o f ex tan t and disco v e red presses or w ell preserved o th e r im pr essions o f the seals under conservation. The c o p ied fragments, prod u ced by the seal press or upon the basis o f a silicon negative, are introdu ced in to the missing gaps. T h e reconstructed fragments sh ou ld differ from the original as regards the ton e and co n v e x ity o f the relief. T he d iscussed realisations are illustrated by the con se rv a tion o f a seal o f Louis o f Hungary, impressed on paper d o cum en ts issued in Kosice in 1 3 7 3 , and the con se rvation o f the St. Joh n seal o f the Old Town in Torun, attached to a parchment d o cum en t issued in 1 5 2 1 , and kept in the c o lle c tion o f the State Archive in Torun.

The archival and library collection of the Cieszyn Brothers Hospitallers, despite being of relatively smaller size compared to the sermonic collection, is of great interest, particularly because of the extant hospital records as well as early prints of medical nature, and a very complex history of some archival and library units. A certain part of the collection shared the complicated fate of the monastery and the monks. Over more than a hundred years they frequently changed owners, all of whom have left their mark in the books. The presence of previous owners in the history of a given volume is best exemplified by seal imprints. The present compilation presents all the early printed books and antique books from the collection of the Archives and Library of the Brothers Hospitallers in Cieszyn, as well as archival records clearly originated outside the monastery. It also demonstrates the influence they exerted on the present shape of the archival and library collection of the convent of Brothers Hospitallers.
