The purpose of the article is to present the history of the Cistersian monastery in Jędrzejów in the second half of the 15th c. The abbot was at that time Mikołaj of Rembieszyce of the arms Odrowąż (1448-1496). Under his rule the monastery numbered over 20 people. The abbot cared for the education of his monks and sent them to the Cracow University. He struggled to keep regular observance. Because of that the monastery enjoyed authority among the local community and attracted a wide group of benefactors and confraters from the gentry, burghers and clergy. Abbot Mikołaj initiated the gothic rebuilding of the monastery. He also furnished the church with new paintings, sculptures and liturgical parament. Among those involved in those activities was Veit Stoss and numerous goldsmiths from Cracow. He cared for the good condition of the monastery economy during the hard time of intense royal fiscalism and lack of coin. The abbot forecfully defended the borders of the land estate and rights of the monastery, especially to collect the tithe. His rule was full of numerous lawsuits, quarrels and agreements with neighbours. After his death, abbot Mikołaj was buried in the chapter house which was disassem­bled at the beginning of th 20th c. He was remembered as a good superior, virtuous and ruling to the benefit of the monastery.

In the manuscript 7534 of the Scientific Library of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences and Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow there survives one parchment folio containing a list of tithe income of Cracow prepositure from 1449. This source was discovered and briefly discussed by Józef Szujski as early as the 1870’s. Because of the poor physical condition of the document, however, it has not been presented in more detail in literature until now. The list is the oldest list of prebendary income in the diocese of Cracow. It contains data on 30 out of 34 villages, from which (as shown by the record in Liber beneficiorum of Jan Długosz) the prepositure received tithe. Most probably that list was drawn for the purpose of assessing the worth of those parts of tithe which were to participate in trade transactions.
