Provenance research implemented to the collections of old prints allows to determine the other, different bigger and smaller collections. Books from former conventual libraries established foundation of many large private and state owned collections of old prints from the end of 18th century onward. Except the names of convents and places they were situated in proprietary records contains also the names of the monks building their own private book collections, which usually – after their deaths - were left at convents their owners lived in. Basilian monks of the order’s Crown province left their private book collections in several convents, mainly in Dobromil, from where library collections were overtaken by Basilian monks from Krechów. Several tens of prints from private collections were signed with names by their proprietors, what allows following the growth of Basilian monks’ book collections, analysing their content and functions as well as describing the value of the books collected by these monks.

Badania proweniencyjne prowadzone w zbiorach starych druków pozwalają wyłonić różne większe lub mniejsze kolekcje. Podwaliny wielu dużych prywatnych i państwowych kolekcji starych druków od końca XVIII w. stanowiły książki z dawnych bibliotek klasztornych. Zapisy własnościowe ujawniają, obok nazw klasztorów i miejscowości, w których się one znajdowały, także nazwiska zakonników gromadzących swoje prywatne księgozbiory – pozostawiane zwykle w klasztorach, w których umierali ich właściciele. Prywatne księgozbiory członków zakonu bazylianów prowincji koronnej wzbogaciły kilka klasztorów, głównie w Dobromilu, skąd bibliotekę przejęli bazylianie z Krechowa. Na kilkudziesięciu drukach z prywatnych zbiorów ich właściciele podpisali się swoim nazwiskiem, co pozwala śledzić przyrost bazyliańskich księgozbiorów i przeanalizować ich treść i funkcje oraz ocenić wartość gromadzonych przez zakonników książek.

The book in the Congregation of St. Basil in 17th and 18th centuries has constituted a bridge between the cultures of Eastern and Western Europe. It has participated in the successes and failures of the order, it joined the two worlds of Christian spiritual culture – the Roman Catholic Church and the Easter Orthodox Church. The Basilians had their facilities on the eastern lands of the Polish Republic, were acting in accordance to the rule of st. Basil the Great and the religious constitutions, were the formation of monks, but their activities qualified them for clerical orders. They have led extensive pastoral activities, charity, led elementary schools, philosophical and theological high schools and colleges, printed and published books in Latin, Polish, Church Slavonic stamped in Cyrillic, translated foreign works, they were engaged in religious and secular writing, mostly historical. They issued more than 1,400 prints, which were printed in their own six typographic publishing houses. The Basilian Fathers were gathering and maintaining their own monastic libraries, whose number was equal to the number of their religious institutions. It was an order of well-educated people, many of them studied abroad, mainly in Italy, spoke foreign languages, travelled across the Europe, were respected preachers and confessors, regarded teachers and writers – what is confirmed by Polish, Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian bibliographies. They were significant monastic force in education and printing right behind the Jesuits and Piarists, they undertook competition with other Latin convents in different forms of activity. Destroyed by the tsarist ukase during the Russian annexation, they were reborn during the Austrian occupation after reform in 1882, they are still active in Poland.
