In 1919, the former Cistercian monastery in Krzeszów became home for German Benedictines who came from Czech Republic. Until World War II, they managed to amass an abundant library containing valuable collection of theological works. Author of the article follows the fate of this book collection, which survived World War II intact and was appropriated by the Prosecutor General’s Office in 1954, becoming a tool in repression against monastic clergy in Silesia conducted at that time by state authorities.

In the research on the dissolution process and the legacy of the monasteries suppressed in the territories of the former Republic of Poland, annexed by Russia between 1772 and 1815, of incalculable value is the archival heritage of the Roman Catholic Section of the Department of Religious Affairs of Foreign Denominations at the Ministry of Internal Affairs (fond no. 821, description 125), kept at the Russian State Historical Archive in St. Petersburg (Российский Государственный Исторический Архив). The bulk of the records it comprises concerns the allocation of the monastery property seized in the 1830’s by the state: buildings, land, capital, and movable property, including archives and library collections. The tsarist administration initially did not recognise the material and cultural value of the latter, but as soon as in 1830’s it revised its stance. Having become acquainted with the former library collections, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of State Domains and the guberniya administration discarded the idea – put forward by the treasury offices – of selling off the books at public auctions, arguing it was rather unfortunate. After the claims lodged by the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, and the Ministry of Public Enlightenment were taken into consideration, it was decided that the former monastery book collection be distributed among theological academies, Roman Catholic parishes and seminaries, secular schools, and public libraries. The decision was taken between late 1830’s and early 1840’s, and the local administration was entrusted with its execution. Not all books from the monastic libraries were eventually transferred to the institutions they had been designated for. A certain part was subjected to preventive censorship by the guberniyas committees. They isolated from the collections the books of political nature discussing the history of the state and law in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the history of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as theological works which criticised denominations different from Catholicism: not only the Orthodox faith, but also the Protestant ones. The extant records barely allow to estimate what part of the monastic collections underwent this sort of preventive censorship. In the Vilnius, Minsk, Grodno, and Białystok general governorates, over a hundred books with dissident – by tsarist officials’ reckoning – content were removed from the collections of 17 former monastery libraries alone. The model adopted in 1842 was used in years to come as well, thus increasing the number of books submitted to preventive censorship. It remains unknown whether they were scrutinised by censorship officials and what decision was finally taken as to their fate; further archival research would be needed to verify it. This could undoubtedly be facilitated by an annex providing a list of books subject to preventive censorship in the Vilnius general governorate in 1842.

In the Missionary Priests’ Congregation Library in Stradom in Cracow, two books have been found that used to belong to the famous library of the Polish king, Sigismundus Augustus. The monograph on the King’s collection written by Alodia Kawecka-Gryczowa contains a catalogue of all the books belonging to it so far discovered. This article, however, extends Kawecka-Gryczowa’s catalogue by the addition of two books that have remained unknown until now. After the king’s death, part of his book collection went to the Jesuit college in Vilnius, and part of it remained with Queen Anna Jagiellon, who was her brother’s testator. Both of the newly found volumes are medical prints which Queen Anna gave as gifts to her doctors, Sylwester Roguski and Hieronim of Poznań. Like other volumes belonging to Sigismundus Augustus’ collection, these books are bound in wood boards covered in brown leather, with the King’s superexlibris on the upper cover and the property formula SIGISMUNDI AVGUSTI REGIS POLONIAE MONVMENTVM on the lower cover.

W Bibliotece Księży Misjonarzy na Stradomiu w Krakowie odnaleziono dwie książki należące niegdyś do słynnej biblioteki polskiego króla Zygmunta Augusta. Alodia Kawecka-Gryczowa stworzyła monografię królewskiej książnicy, w której zawarła katalog wszystkich odnalezionych dotąd dzieł, niniejszy artykuł uzupełnia go o dwie nieznane dotąd pozycje. Po śmierci króla jego biblioteka uległa rozproszeniu. Część książek trafiła do kolegium jezuitów w Wilnie, część testatorka, Anna Jagiellonka, zachowała dla siebie. Obywa odnalezione woluminy to druki medyczne, które Anna ofiarowała swoim lekarzom – Sylwestrowi Roguskiemu i Hieronimowi z Poznania. Książki oprawione zostały w sposób charakterystyczny dla biblioteki Zygmunta Augusta w brązową skórę na desce, z wybitym na górnej okładzinie królewskim superekslibrisem i formułą własnościową SIGISMUNDI AVGUSTI REGIS POLONIAE MONVMENTVM na okładzinie dolnej.

The St Clare Abbey in Wrocław, one of the most important monastic centres in Silesia, epitomizes very high religious culture in the modern age. Having accepted the 1677 constitutions that respected the Law of the Council of Trent, the nuns entered a new period of their inner life development, which also led to an improvement to their cloister library. The analysis of the preserved old prints contained in this collection reveals a very traditional and monastic profile of the culture of Wrocław Poor Clares, who remained open to new spiritual trends and contemplative ways of individual prayer. Among the authors, the nuns would opt for the members of the Jesuit Order and Benedictines, especially those from the German language culture.

Opactwo św. Klary we Wrocławiu, jako jeden z ważniejszych ośrodków monastycznych na Śląsku, reprezentowało w okresie nowożytnym elitarną kulturę religijną. Po przyjęciu w 1677 roku konstytucji zgodnych z ustawami soboru trydenckiego mniszki weszły w nowy etap rozwoju życia wewnętrznego, który przyniósł także wzbogacenie zbiorów biblioteki klasztornej o nowe tytuły. Analiza zachowanych jednostek ze zbioru starodruków tej proweniencji pozwala dostrzec konserwatywny i monastyczny profil kultury klarysek, które pozostawały otwarte na nowe prądy duchowości oraz kontemplatywną formę modlitwy osobistej. Wśród autorów mniszki wyróżniały członków Towarzystwa Jezusowego oraz benedyktynów, poszukując ich przede wszystkim w kręgu kultury niemieckojęzycznej.

This article investigates the problem of spreading of the Protestant ideas in the Basilian monasteries of the Lviv eparchy in the 18th century. How did Reformation reach the Uniate monasteries of the early modern Ukraine? If so, how was it represented? These questions are examining in the paper. It has been studied above 100 book lists of the 30 monasteries from archives mostly in Lviv. Consequently, research found the works of 14 protestants, authors mainly of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. Treatises of the protestants were preserved in four monastery libraries, and also in at least four private Basilian book collections. Research states that Basilians in the Lviv eparchy didn’t know so much about Protestants, at least based on research on the book collections. It looks like that it was on the margins of Basilian intellectual interests. But it is obvious that such study perspective does not allow to fully show the reception of the Protestant tradition.

The procedure of depositing the library of the Bielany Camaldolese monastery in the Jagiellonian Library was rather complicated. Firstly, it required creating essential software and adjusting the final storage area in the library. Secondly, single items had to be removed from the shelves, cleaned, identified and correlated with corresponding records in the digital database. After that, the collection underwent massive disinfection and was transported to the main building of the Jagiellonian Library, where all the books were arranged on the shelves, in the original order. The last phase of this project involved electronic cataloguing in the Virtua library management system.

This article studies the significance of the Polish books in the Basilian monasteries of the Lviv eparchy in the 18th century. During this century the number of the Polish, as well as Latin books were growing. A significant number of Polish books can be analyzed not only as latinisation or polonisation of Basilian monasteries, monks communities of the Eastern-Christian rite on the Ukrainian lands, but as „westernisation” as well. It means absorption of the contemporary Western (Latin) culture by the Polish mediation as the „latinitas polonice”. And it is verified in the most of Basilian monastery libraries of the Lviv eparchy of the 18th century.

The article presents the history of the Basilian monastery in Brest and its role in the religious and social life of the city in the 17th and 18th centuries. The monastery was founded in 1638 and provided the basis for the activi-ties of the hierarchs of the Uniate Church. The monks from the Brest post of the Basilian Order assisted the bishops in the organizational and administrative work of the Diocese of Volodymyr and Brest. The Basilians in Brest did not run the parish. The event that brought the faithful together were the celebrations of church fete. The Basilian church was devoted to the saints associated with the spirituality of the Uniate Church and the im-age of the crucified Christ. The brotherhood of St. Peter and Paul was also associated with the church. The monks ran a school for children of townsmen and gentry, the school was also financed by the city. At the end of the 18th century, the Basilians took care of the Jesuit faculty school. The Basilian school obtained the status of a poviat gentry school. At the monastery there was a library, which housed books purchased and donated by the Basilians and taken over from the dissolved Jesuit monastery in Brest. The monastery was treated as a place providing accommodation and meals by the local nobility.

Artykuł przedstawia dzieje klasztoru Bazylianów w Brześciu i jego rolę w życiu religijnym i społecznym miasta w XVII-XVIII wieku. Klasztor został ufundowany w 1638 r. i stanowił zaplecze dla działalności hierarchów Cerkwi unickiej. Zakonnicy z brzeskiej placówki bazylianów wspomagali biskupów w pracach organizacyjno-administracyjnych diecezji włodzimiersko-brzeskiej. Bazylianie w Brześciu nie prowadzili parafii. Wydarzeniami gromadzącymi wiernych były obchody odpustowe. W cerkwi bazyliańskiej kultem otaczani byli święci związani z duchowością Cerkwi unickiej oraz wizerunek Chrystusa Ukrzyżowanego. Przy cerkwi funkcjonowało bractwo św. Piotra i Pawła. Zakonnicy prowadzili szkołę dla dzieci mieszczan i szlachty, w utrzymaniu której partycypowało miasto. Pod koniec XVIII stulecia bazylianom powierzono prowadzoną przez jezuitów szkołę wydziałową. Bazyliańska szkoła uzyskała status powiatowej szkoły szlacheckiej. Przy klasztorze znajdowała się biblioteka, w zasobach której znajdowały się książki zakupione i podarowane przez bazylianów oraz przejęte po skasowanym klasztorze Jezuitów w Brześciu. Klasztor był traktowany jako miejsce zapewniające zakwaterowanie i wyżywienie przez okoliczną szlachtę.
