Professor Dr. Michał Patkaniowski (1907–1972), a distinguished professor at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University, had deserved his right to fame as an outstanding scholar and efficient organizer of academic life. His silhouette has been presented in numerous biographical notes, including the Polish Biographical Dictionary. Yet what seems particularly worthy of recalling here are his efforts to expand the library collection of the historical and legal chairs. Thanks to his efforts, the collection became enlarged by over 3000 books which had been withdrawn from the libraries of Krakow courts as well as from the libraries of other courts in Krakow’s surroundings

The collections of the Library of Silesian Clerical Seminary, which history dates back to the 1920s, have not been examined satisfactorily to date. In the interwar period the library built its collections through purchases and generous donations. The article focuses on this part of donations which came from the authors themselves, mainly priests of Kraków archdiocese and Katowice diocese, secular persons in a minor extent. They donated 50 works in total, among them books, dissertations and articles previously published in periodicals. All of them were the latest publications on theology, Church history and related studies and covered a wide spectrum of religious issues. Some books are signed with author’s inscription, which greatly increases their value.

One of the statutory tasks of the Centre for Church Archives Libraries and Museums is to gather and organise materials of Church provenance. The most valuable materials are microfilmed and digitized in the documentary studio. So far, the most important materials from the below mentioned libraries have been microfilmed in the Centre for Church Archives Libraries and Museums: the Pauline Fathers’ library in Jasna Góra, the Cistercians’ library in Mogilno, the Carmelite Nuns’ library in Crakow, the Poor Clares’ library in Stary Sącz and Crakow, the Visitandines’ library in Crakow, the Benedictine monks’ library in Tyniec and the Benedictine nuns’ library in Przemyśl and Staniątki, the library of Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in Miechów and the Norbertine Sisters’ library in Imbramowice. The Centre for Church Archives Libraries and Museums also organizes symposia on book collections of the Church. Reports and papers delivered in symposia are printed in a semi-annual magazine „Church Archives Libraries and Museums.” The magazine also contains the catalogues of monastic libraries and monographs on individual libraries.

The research and exploring of the old parish libraries allows us to understand the processes associated with their foundation and use. Visitations in the Diocese of Kraków carried on in the eighteenth century revealed that the parish clergy cared for the collection of books. Priests clearly appreciated books’ auxiliary role in teaching and preaching. This is confi rmed by quite a substantial collection of books in Lelów and Wolbrom deaneries. The large number of books on theology and preaching collected in some parishes indicates that the local parish and assistant priests were interested in reading. In addition to this the synod regulations and pastoral letters encouraged and supported the collecting of books. Church authorities rightly and wisely recognized the useful role of books in supporting pastoral work of the clergy. Therefore, the resolutions of the Synod of Bishops and pastoral letters pointed to the problem of access by the clergy to the most essential aid in preaching and hearing of confessions. Library resources were growing, mainly through individual donations, larger bequests and also by purchase. Initially, the priests created private collections of books according to their own needs or personal interests. Later on, they donated these books to parish libraries. These collections, consistent in their ideological content, refl ected the view of the people, who created the libraries and used them. They are a sign of a high intellectual culture of the book donors. As it is evident from the above fi ndings, in terms of the existence of parish libraries in the two deaneries the situation was quite good. Over time, their number and the number of books was increasing steadily. Figures from the source not only confi rm this, but also point to the fact that in general those collections were decreasing. This was associated with the widespread practice of expansion of the private collections by adding books from the church collection. In addition, many books were destroyed as a result of numerous fi res, invasions and theft. The fact of missing certain books, though not benefi cial to the church library is always an indicator that they were in use.

In the period from 25th March until 14th May 2006 at ,Old Synagogue Gallery, affiliated to the Circuit Museum in Nowy Sącz, ,Historical Writing of Cistercian Fathers of Szczyrzyc was exhibited. The purpose of the exhibition was to display the most valuable and the oldest historical writings kept in custody of the Archive and the Cistercian Library in Szczyrzyc, and to appeal the same to a wider audience. The exhibition inter alia covered: medieval parchments with seals, manuscript books, beautifully decorated antiphonaries, graduals and cantionals and old prints as well as the only incunabula found in Poland. Moreover, the exhibition was complemented with the Cistercian costumes, enlarged reproductions of pages of historic books, and pictures that normally decorate the walls of the monastery in Szczyrzyc.

The article was based on the archival inventory of the Chapter Library of 1598 and on the surviving manuscripts and historical printed documents of the library of the Kielce Chapter. The paper consists of an analytical part and an annex, which includes the edition of the archival source – the inventory. Thanks to the fact that a large part of the manuscripts and printed documents from a historical book collection survived, appropriate titles can be found in the footnotes of the annex. In addition, surviving documents allowed to perform calculations with regard to publishing centers. Most out of the 28 incunabula came from the land of the German language. Only 4 out of the 35 sixteenth-century printed documents came from domestic production (Cracow). The dominance of German printed documents was still maintained. The analysis of the manuscripts revealed links with the area of Czech and national culture. The invention of printing led to the influx of Western authors. In 1598 the chapter library contained liturgical books: missals, breviaries, agenda, antiphonaries, graduals. The liturgical books came from the tradition of the Diocese of Cracow and show the character of the Divine Office before introducing the books of the reformed Roman liturgy. In addition to liturgical books, the Chapter library contained typical branches of theology of the time: the Bible and biblical commentaries, texts of the Fathers of the Church, law, theology, pastoral manuals and others. Comparison of manuscripts and printed documents indicates that with the invention of printing the texts of the Fathers of the Church are more numerous, which is also a hallmark of the Renaissance and modern theology. The library of the Kielce Chapter presents interests and changes in theology at the turn of the Middle Ages and modern times.

Das Verdienst der Preister Stanisław und Zenon Chodyński war es, dass sie viele Bücher gesammelt und dadurch feste Grundlagen für die 1936 nach ihrem Namen benannte Priesterseminarbibliothek geschaffen haben. Eine besonders hervorragende Leistung erbrachte dabei Pfarrer Stanislaw. Es gibt nicht die geringste Übertreibung darin, was er selbst über seine Arbeit in der Seminarbibliothek geschrieben hat: Die aus den Klöstern gebrachten Bücher, mit uraltem Staub oder zur Hälfte mit Schimmel bedeckt, nahm der damalige Bibliothekar und Professor, Preister Stanisław Chodyński entgegen, er brachte sie unter, verteilte und (zum größten Teil) verzeichnete sie. Mit einem großen Zeitverlust und gesundheitlichen Schäden war er mehrmals gezwungen, sie von einer Stelle an eine andere zu versetzen, wegen der ständigen Veränderungen in der Einrichtung des Hauses bei neu entstehenden Bauten. Ein nicht weniger großes Verdienst hat Preister Stanisław Chodyński beim Ordnen der Kapitelbibliothek von Wloclawek. Mit Recht kann er als Wiederhersteller zweier kirchlicher Bibliotheken von Wloclawek bezeichnet werden. Wahrscheinlich aus diesem Grunde also gelangte er als einziger kirchlicher Bibliothekar von Włocławek in das Wörterbuch: Słownik pracowników książki polskiej. Nach dem letzten Krieg wurde die Kapitelbüchersammlung in die Seminarbibliothek eingefügt. Und so vereinigten sich diese zwei Bibliotheken, denen beide Pfarrer einen bedeutenden Teil ihres Lebens gewidmet haben, in eine Priesterseminarbibliothek, die allen Grund dazu hat, nach dem Namen der Preister Chodyński benannt zu werden.

Der Artikel behandelt eine Inkunabel aus den Beständen der Universitätsbibliothek der Katholischen Universität Lublin: Plutarchus Historiographus Liber de viris clarissimis: E greco sermone in latinum divisio plurimu[m] interpretationibus virorum illustrium translatus, redigiert von Johannes Campanus (†1477) und gedruckt um 14 72 in Straßburg von Adolf Rusch (t 1489). In dem für Polen grundlegenden Katalog: Incunabula quae in bibliothecis poloniae asservantur, hrsg. von A. Kawecka-Gryczowa, Wroclaw 1970, wird dieses Buch unter der Nr. 1912 als während des 2. Weltkrieges verschollen und nicht wieder aufgefunden erwähnt. In Wirklichkeit befand es sich jedoch die ganze Zeit über in der Universitätsbibliothek der Katholischen Universität Lublin, wo es allerdings irrtümlich als anonymer Druck aus dem 16. Jahrhundert katalogisiert wurde. Die im vor-liegenden Artikel präsentierten Forschungsergebnisse ermöglichten ihre Wiedereingliederung in den wissenschaftlichen Buchverkehr. Dieses Buch ist deshalb so wertvoll, weil es eines der ersten Beispiele für die Anwendung der Antiqua im Druck - in einem von Adolf Rusch entworfenen Letterschnitt - sowie eines der ersten Beispiele für die Edition klassischer Autoren in humanistischer Bearbeitung darstellt. Vom Gesichtspunkt der polnischen Kultur besteht der besondere Wert dieses Werkes darin, daß es dem 1501 verstorbenen Johannes Sommerfeld dem Älteren (auch Aesticampianus genannt) gehörte. In der Inkunabel finden wir seine eigenhändige Unterschrift in zwei Versionen seines Namens. Dieser Professor der Krakauer Akademie war einer der Propagatoren des Humanismus in Polen. Auf den Seiten dieses Werkes befinden sich neben den einzelnen Viten Anmerkungen von seiner Hand, welche davon zeugen, daß ihm dieses Buch in seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit eine große Hilfe war. Heute wurde das Buch unter der Signatur XV.265 in den Bestand der Inkunabeln der Universitätsbibliothek der Katholischen Universität Lublin aufgenommen.
