Polish musicologists have been interested in the musical culture of religious institutions in Kraków during the 17th and 18th centuries since at least the beginning of the 20th century, but up to now the musical life of the monastery belonging to the Brothers Hospitallers of St John of God was of no interest to them. The main aim of this article, based on archival sources, is to show when and what kind of music was performed in this monastery, who the musicians were and what instruments were in the church. It has been established that the Brothers Hospitallers did not have their own musical ensemble, but rather that they invited musicians from the city, including from a Jesuit ensemble, who added splendour to the most important celebrations of the liturgical year by playing masses, litanies, passions and requiems. The research has also discovered that there was a positive organ in the Brothers Hospitallers’ church, and a harpsichord in their Hospital, the sounds of which made the patients’ time there more pleasant.

Religijne ośrodki kultury muzycznej w Krakowie, prowadzące działalność w XVII-XVIII wieku, interesują historyków muzyki od dawna. Badaczy nie zainteresował jednak dotąd klasztor bonifratrów. Celem niniejszego artykułu, który przygotowano na podstawie materiałów archiwalnych, jest wypełnienie tej luki oraz charakterystyka kultury muzycznej krakowskich bonifratrów. Starano się przede wszystkim odpowiedzieć na pytania: kto, kiedy i jaki rodzaj repertuaru wykonywał w tym ośrodku, a także scharakteryzować instrumenty, które znajdowały się w przyklasztornym kościele. Ustalono, że bonifratrzy nie posiadali własnej kapeli, lecz zapraszali muzyków z zewnątrz (m.in. z kapeli jezuickiej), którzy uświetniali najważniejsze uroczystości roku liturgicznego, grając msze, litanie, pasje, requiem. Kwerenda wykazała również, że w kościele bonifratrów znajdował się pozytyw, a w szpitalu – klawesyn, na którym grano, umilając czas pacjentom.

On December, 1898, two years before the 200th anniversary of its opening, the hospital led by the Brothers Hospitallers of St. John of God in Cieszyn reached the top of its development. The post, at the beginning being able to hold only a few, and then a dozen of patients, after the extension at the end of the 19th century was able to admit 60 patients at the same time. The extension of the hospital coincided with the intensive industrialisation of Cieszyn Silesia. The local urban area became the biggest centre of this type in Austria-Hungary. It is not surprising then that people from almost the whole monarchy, trying to find better living conditions, were migrating for work in the Duchy of Cieszyn. Thanks to the preserved patients’ records from that time it is possible to determine exactly the origins of the patients from the hospital of the Brothers Hospitallers of St. John of God in Cieszyn. It can be stated that the patients staying in this local hospital, represented a variety of nations living in this area at that time. Apart from the natives, a medical record from 1900 mentions a significant number of the inhabitants of Moravia, Czech Republic, Galicia as well as other parts of Austrian Silesia. A smaller number of representatives comes from counties in Upper Hungary and Croatia, Austrian Tyrol, Upper and Lower Austria and, finally, foreign countries – Prussia and Russia. The article constitutes a small contribution to the study of the complex history of the Brothers Hospitallers of St. John of God in Cieszyn. It is also a useful material for the researchers who are interested in ethnic relations in Cieszyn Silesia.

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.
