The aim of the article is to discuss and present an edition of sources documenting the takeover of archive, library and art collections from the Norbertine Sisters’ Monastery in Czarnowąsy, dissolved on 24 November 1810. The material comes from the first and fifth volume of the so-called Büsching Papers and mostly consists of letters from 1810 and 1812. In addition, the edition includes correspondence of the local dissolution office concerning similar actions in other towns in Silesia (Brzeg, Gliwice, Głubczyce, Namysłów, Opole, Racibórz, Rudy). The most interesting information in this correspondence comes from letters dealing with the collections of the Norbertine Monastery in Czarnowąsy. Its library, in addition to all the writings of the Church Fathers and a large number of historical works, encompassed manuscripts dealing with the history of the local Norbertine Sisters well as the history of Upper Silesia and its nobility. Among the works of art amassed in the monastery, the one considered to be the most valuable was an unknown painting on wood. Büsching ordered “some silver” to be taken from Czarnowąsy to Wrocław. Works with themes similar to those found in Czarnowąsy were identified in the libraries of Cistercian monasteries in Rudy and Jemielnica, the Reformati convent in Namysłów and an unnamed monastery in Brzeg (of the Capuchins?). Apart from books, two very large and beautiful globes were found in Rudy.

The present transliteration of source material dealing with the Premonstratensian (Norbertine) Monastery of St. Vincent in Wrocław is based on archive documents preserved among the so-called Büsching Papers, a collection of bound volumes kept in the Wrocław University Library and documenting the secularisation of Silesian monasteries in 1810–1812. It complements the transliteration of two extensive archive documents associated with the Wrocław Premonstratensian Monastery (report and inventory), published in the previous volume of Hereditas Monasteriorum. The current volume presents a transliteration of the remaining 37 documents of the Büsching Papers dealing with that monastery: – correspondence (originals or copies of letters) between the secularisation commissioner Johann Gustav Gottlieb Büsching (1783–1829) and the Central Secularisation Commission (Haupt-Säkularisations-Commission zur Aufhebung der Stifter und Klöster in Schlesien), copies of some Büsching’s letters to e.g. Karl August von Hardenberg (1750–1822) and Johann Daniel Wilhelm Otto Uhden (1763–1835) as well as letters (originals) addressed to Büsching; – Büsching’s notes on loans from the monastery library and verification of paintings from the monastery’s collection with regard to a future painting gallery. The rich contents of these hand-written documents constitute valuable source material for contemporary researchers, who can follow the dissolution procedure in the Wrocław Premonstratensian Monastery on their basis. The transliteration is preceded by an introduction featuring several examples of selected topics on the basis of which it is possible to determine the chronology and course of specific events of interest to researchers (e.g. selection of paintings for the painting gallery).

Pierwsza część transliteracji akt dotyczących kolekcji malarstwa Królewskiego Muzeum Sztuki i Starożytności we Wrocławiu zebranych w jednym poszycie przez Johanna Gustava Gottlieba Büschinga (1783–1829) i przechowywanych obecnie w zbiorach Oddziału Rękopisów Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej we Wrocławiu pt. Büsching. Verzeichnisse die Gemälde Sammlung betreffend (sygn. Akc. 1948/862) została opublikowana w poprzednim tomie „Hereditas Monasteriorum”. Niniejszym publikujemy drugą i ostatnią część, obejmującą kolejne karty poszytu, powstałe w latach 1811–1822 (z uzupełnieniami z 1929 r.). Dokumenty dotyczą kolekcji obrazów przechowywanych w budynku Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej we Wrocławiu, która mieściła się w tym czasie na Piasku, w gmachu dawnego klasztoru kanoników regularnych św. Augustyna. Malowidła należały do zbiorów królewskich, a pochodziły głównie z klasztorów śląskich skasowanych edyktem króla pruskiego Fryderyka Wilhelma III w dniu 30 X 1810 r. Pieczę nad malarstwem powierzono Büschingowi, który wybrane podczas sekularyzacji obrazy włączył do otwartej 29 VI 1815 r. galerii malarstwa przy uniwersytecie. Była to pierwsza placówka muzealna we Wrocławiu udostępniająca swoje zbiory publiczności regularnie raz w tygodniu. Licząca kilkaset obrazów wystawa została przez Büschinga zaaranżowana według trzech głównych części tematycznych: malarstwo średniowiecza i renesansu z obszaru niemieckojęzycznego, malarstwo europejskie, dzieła śląskiego malarza epoki baroku Michaela Leopolda Willmanna (1630–1706). Najobszerniejszymi z akt znajdujących się w poszycie są dwa inwentarze malarstwa Królewskiego Muzeum Sztuki i Starożytności we Wrocławiu z 22 III i 19 X 1821 r. Skorelowane z tymi inwentarzami tabele zamieszczone na następnych kartach stanowią podsumowanie decyzji o redukcji zasobów galerii malarstwa dokonanej w 1821 r. Kolejne tabelaryczne zestawienie znajdujące się w poszycie to cennik poszczególnych tematów malarskich. Poszyt kończy się spisem, w którym można znaleźć informacje o pochodzeniu eksponowanych w galerii dzieł.

The first part of transliterations of records concerning the painting collection from the Royal Museum of Art and Antiquities in Wrocław, brought together in one bound volume by Johann Gustav Gottlieb Büsching (1783–1829) and currently kept in the Manuscript Department of the Wrocław University Library as Büsching. Verzeichnisse die Gemälde Sammlung betreffend (no. Akc. 1948/862), was published in the previous volume of “Hereditas Monasteriorum”. We are now publishing the second and final part encompassing the remaining leaves from the bound volume, which originated in 1811–1822 (with additions from 1929). The documents concern a collection of paintings kept in the University Library in Wrocław, which at that time was located in the former Monastery of Canons Regular of St. Augustine on the Sand Island. The paintings were part of the royal collection and came mainly from Silesian monasteries dissolved by the edict of the King of Prussia, Frederick William III, of 30 October 1810. Painting was entrusted to Büsching, who added works selected during the secularisation to the painting gallery opened at the university on 29 June 1815. This was the first museum in Wrocław regularly making its collections available to the public once a week. The exhibition, encompassing several hundred paintings, was divided by Büsching into three main thematic parts: Medieval and Renaissance painting from German-speaking countries, European painting, and works of the Silesian Baroque master Michael Leopold Willmann (1630–1706). The most extensive of the records in the volume are two inventories of paintings from the Royal Museum of Art and Antiquities in Wrocław of 22 March and 19 October 1821. The following leaves contain tables, correlated with the inventories, which sum up the decision to reduce the painting gallery holdings in 1821. Another table in the volume contains a price list of the various painting themes. The volume ends with a list containing information about the origin of the works exhibited in the gallery.

The present source edition focuses on records concerning the painting collection from the Royal Museum of Art and Antiquities in Wrocław brought together in one bound volume by Johann Gustav Gottlieb Büsching (1783–1829), currently kept in the Manuscript Department of the Wrocław University Library and entitled Büsching. Verzeichnisse die Gemalde Sammlung betreffend (no. Akc. 1948/862). The documents were compiled in 1811–1822 (with some additions from 1929) and concern a collection of paintings kept in the university library in Wrocław, which at that time was located in the former Monastery of Canons Regular of St. Augustine on the Sand Island. The paintings were part of the royal collection and came mainly from Silesian monasteries dissolved by the edict of the King of Prussia, Frederick William III, of 30 October 1810. The records begin with a list of paintings from the Monastery of Canons Regular of St. Augustine, where many works of the Silesian Baroque master Michael Leopold Willmann (1630–1706) were inventoried and priced. Another document originated during the dissolution of the Cistercian Abbey of Krzeszów and comprises a list of copperplates made mainly after Willmann’s drawings; they include the Krzeszów Passion. Another list is that of works from the valuable Baroque painting collection from the Cistercian Abbey of Lubiąż. The next leaf in the volume contains a list of works from the Cistercian Abbey of Jemielnica “yet to be sold at an auction”. Selection of paintings for galleries is well illustrated by Büsching’s hand-written notes in another document concerning a division of paintings from the Monastery of Canons Regular of St. Augustine into works to be displayed and works to be exchanged. This is followed by a list of paintings destined for an auction planned for 27 April 1814. The records concerning painting galleries also include a list from the collection of the forest district inspector from Wrocław, Friedrich Georg Graβhoff. Next comes a list of paintings from 1821 signed by Johann Heinrich Christoph Konig, a Wrocław painter who was involved in the restoration of paintings from Silesian monasteries and destined for painting galleries. The transliteration published in the present volume is the first of two parts and encompasses the first 27 leaves. The other leaves from the volume (28–93) will be published in the eighth issue of Hereditas Monasteriorum.
