The Archdiocesan Archives in Poznań holds a very interesting and hitherto unexplored bound volume of records entitled Monasteries Register 1817–25. It contains information about inspections in the Grand Duchy of Poznań from 1817–1825 as well as some inspections from 1809–1810 in monasteries of the Diocese of Poznań. The inspections encompassed 16 monasteries: of the Benedictines in Lubiń; Bernardine Fathers in Grodzisk, Koźmin, Sieraków and Wschowa; Cistercians in Bledzew, Obra and Paradyż; Cistercian Nuns in Owińska; Dominicans in Wronki; Franciscans in Oborniki and Śrem; Franciscan Nuns (Poor Clares) in Śrem; and the Reformati in Miejska Górka (Goruszki), Rawicz and Woźniki. The records contain inventories of church and monastery furnishings, including library lists (all items or by shelf), and information about valuation (primarily in the German documents). The table included in the article contains the following: 1. leaf no. (unnumbered); 2. date and place of inspection or place from which a letter was sent to the General Consistory of the Poznań Archbishopric; 3. location of the inspected monastery and name of the religious order; 4. language of the document; 5. title given by the inspecting authority. Additional information is provided in square brackets. Wherever possible, the author gives the names and surnames as well as functions of the monks and nuns residing in each monastery during the inspection. Surnames as well as names sometimes have different forms; sometimes, too, the monks and nuns themselves used different signatures during the one inspection. Equivocal cases are marked by question marks [?].

In the Archdiocesan Archive in Poznań, among the KA 10 969 records, an interesting document has been preserved. In October 1828 the Gniezno and Poznań metropolitan archbishop Teofil Wolicki received a lengthy letter from Fr. Jan Kompałła. The parish priest from Bukowice was requesting from the archbishop an intercession with the Prussian authorities in order for the property of dissolved monasteries to be bequeathed to the Catholic Church. In five well-grounded points, he presented reasons for which this property was not supposed to be handed over to the Protestants, as well as demonstrated how to utlise it practically. He suggested –among other things– that monastery buildings serve as lodgings for retired priests or impoverished families, and as institutes devoted to upbringing and education of children bourn out of wedlock. He intended the former Franciscan monastery in Grabów to be converted into a gymnasium for the Catholic youth. Education was meant to protect them from the partitioner’s endeavours to deprive them of the national identity. He was also asking the archbishop to elicit from the lay authorities the consent to move part of the equipment –even of the active monasteries– to poorer parish churches. He argued that these temples had been neglected for centuries, since the nobility had always been donating their lavish gifts exclusively to religious orders. Fr. Kompałła’s letter resulted in the Poznań Administrative Office’s directive no. 348 of 19 December 1828 and the Poznań Archiepiscopal Consistory’s directive no. 119 of 14 January 1829 sent to 22 deans in the territory of the Poznań diocese. They were instructed to gather information on what sort of equipment would be useful for the poor parish churches within the deaneries they were in charge of. Few were the parish priests who admitted that their temples did not need anything. The rest submitted lists –of various length– of the desired equipment. A tabular listing of the objects was sent to the Poznań Administrative Office by the consistory. These lists (collected in an thick cardboard-bound archival unit –poszyt– KA 12 236) were undoubtedly used afterwards to distribute the equipment of the dissolved monasteries.

The purpose of this study is to find the answer to the question of ecclesiastical administrative affiliation regarding the area between the Vistula and Wieprz Rivers. This relatively narrow aspect of the research was the subject of academic controversy over the possible influence of the organization of Methodian Christianity, not only on the designated area, but in general on Polish soil. The vast majority of authors – even if some of them allow for a wide geographic range of Methodian influence – firmly opposes the idea of the presence of any structure of the Methodian rite in the lands north of the Carpathian Mountains, regarding this idea as unsubstantiated. The form of territorial organization of the Church involving the land between the Vistula and Wieprz Rivers could only be in the Latin bishopric of Poznań, which was undoubtedly a permanent diocesan structure that depended directly on the Holy See from its earliest period. Theoretically, if the area between the Vistula and the Wieprz Rivers had been included in the territory that on the Czechs in the second half of the tenth century, it would have also belonged to the Diocese of Prague and the Metropolis of Mainz, or, a bit later, to the Diocese of Olomouc. The formal nature of that membership would have probably involved a lack of durable local structures of Christianity, which also had to be a characteristic of the first decades of their dependence on the Diocese of Poznan. It seems that it was only the entrance of the lands between the Vistula and Wieprz Rivers into an administrative relationship to the Bishops of Cracow and the Metropolitans of Gniezno in the late tenth and eleventh centuries, which proved to be a stable association that would be strengthened in material and spiritual significance in the coming decades and centuries.

Celem artykułu jest znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytanie o najwcześniejszą kościelną przynależność administracyjną obszaru między rzekami Wisłą i Wieprzem. Zagadnienie to było już przedmiotem kontrowersji akademickich w zakresie możliwego wpływu chrześcijaństwa metodiańskiego nie tylko na wskazanym obszarze, ale w ogóle na ziemiach polskich. Zdecydowana większość autorów – nawet jeśli niektórzy z nich dopuszczają przekonanie o jakimś oddziaływaniu metodiańskim – stanowczo odrzuca obecność jakiejkolwiek zorganizowanej struktury tego obrządku na ziemiach na północ od Karpat. Organizacja terytorialna Kościoła między rzekami Wisłą i Wieprzem może być bez wątpienia wiązana dopiero z poznańskim biskupstwem łacińskim. Było ono dla omawianego terenu bezsprzecznie pierwszą trwałą strukturą diecezjalną, zależną zresztą bezpośrednio od Stolicy Apostolskiej. Co prawda, jeśli założymy polityczną przynależność tego terenu w drugiej połowie X wieku do Czech, należałoby uznać jego jeszcze wcześniejsze uzależnienie od diecezji praskiej i metropolii mogunckiej oraz nieco późniejszą przynależność do diecezji ołomunieckiej. Formalny charakter tego związku pozbawiony byłby jednak trwałych lokalnych struktur chrześcijaństwa, co musiało być zresztą charakterystyczne także dla pierwszych dekad zależności od biskupstwa w Poznaniu. Wydaje się więc, że dopiero wejście ziem między Wisłą i Wieprzem w kościelno-administracyjną zależność od biskupów krakowskich i metropolitów gnieźnieńskich na przełomie X i XI wieku okazało się stabilnym związkiem pod względem materialnym i duchowym.
