The musical collection of the Lubiąż Cistercians, currently kept in the Department of Music Collections of the University Library in Warsaw, contains two autograph scores of Johann Alois Lamb, a Czech composer active in the second half of the 18th century in Vrchlabí. Sources with his works were copied for many ensembles in Bohemia and Silesia, but the two works preserved in the Cistercian collection have remained unknown to scholars studying Lamb’s oeuvre and are not listed in the thematic catalogue of the composer’s works. The autograph scores in question add to the existing body of knowledge of J. A. Lamb’s oeuvre and at the same time are his earliest dated compositions. In the article the author presents hypotheses concerning the early period in the composer’s life. A biography of J. A. Lamb’s based on a thorough analysis of sources and dispersed musical items was published in 2014 by the Czech scholar Jakub Michl. In the light of his research the first few years of Lamb’s activity, before 1776, are unknown. No documents or musical manuscripts have been preserved in his hometown of Vrchlabí. Perhaps the mystery can be solved by four manuscripts signed Johannes Lamb from the collection of the Lubiąż Cistercians. Having analysed these manuscripts as well as sources dealing with the Czech composer’s life (described in J. Michl’s monograph), the present author suggests that J. A. Lamb spent his youth in the Cistercian monastery in Lubiąż, where he received musical and elementary education. The two Masses were probably composed when Lamb was still in Lubiąż. The article contains a discussion of all sources associated with Lamb and kept in the Cistercian collection in Lubiąż.

The Wrocław patrician Thomas Rehdiger (1540–1576), during his "Wanderjahre", amassed a rich collection of books, manuscripts, coins, precious stones, and works of art. In his will, he bequeathed this collection—gathered mainly during his stays in Padua, Bologna, and Venice—to his hometown, thus giving rise to the first public library in the Wrocław metropolis. In 1589, the Bibliotheca Rhedigeriana was established in the "Auditorium Theologicum" of St. Elizabeth’s Church. In his youth, Rehdiger was educated in the school operating at the church; almost 100 years later, the school’s teacher, Daniel Sartorius (1612–1671), gathered a large collection of music prints, which were published in that period in Venetian publishing houses. This unique collection, stored together along with the Rhedigeriana Library, was later merged with the library’s content. What was the significance of this collection in the culture of 17 th -century Wrocław? This collection, undoubtedly, was assembled based upon inspiration from the Humanistic period, which had been promoted in that Elizabethan school at least as of the times of Laurentius Corvinus. It was supposed to serve the teaching at the "Elisabethanum" and shape the artistic tastes of its students, who performed state-of-the-art Italian music during school activities or afternoon recess. Attempts were made to introduce the carefully collected repertoire into the liturgical practice of a nearby church, using the technique of "contrafactum" that was popular at the time. The Sartorian Library’s semiophoric function, however, was to define a new form of cultural memory for the Wrocław elites and to outline the original profile of their identity, which was oriented by the same ideals that guided the composers of the Italian "Seicento".

Durante i suoi "Wanderjahre", il patrizio di Breslavia Thomas Rehdiger (1540–1576) raccolse una ricca collezione di libri, manoscritti, monete, pietre preziose e opere d’arte. Nel suo testamento decise di destinare questa collezione, messa insieme soprattutto nei soggiorni a Padova, Bologna e Venezia, alla propria città natale, dando così inizio alla prima biblioteca pubblica della metropoli sull’Oder. Nel 1589 la "Bibliotheca Rhedigeriana" fu collocata nella sala dell’Auditorium Theologicum nella chiesa di Santa Elisabetta a Breslavia. Nel ginnasio che funzionava presso questa chiesa Rehdiger aveva studiato da giovane; quasi cento anni più tardi in quella scuola si trovò ad insegnare Daniel Sartorius (1612–1671), che raccolse un’imponente collezione di stampe musicali, pubblicate all’epoca nelle officine veneziane. Questa collezione, unica nel suo genere, conservata insieme alla Biblioteca Rhedigeriana, è stata successivamente fusa con il suo contenuto. Quale significato ebbe questa collezione per la cultura di Breslavia nel Seicento? Fu messa insieme senza dubbio su ispirazione dell’umanesimo, coltivato fra le mura della scuola elisabettiana almeno fin dai tempi di Laurentius Corvinus. Doveva servire sicuramente alla didattica condotta nell’Elisabethanum e alla formazione dei gusti artistici degli allievi di quel centro, i quali nel corso delle lezioni o delle ricreazioni pomeridiane eseguivano la musica italiana più nuova. Si provò ad inserire questo repertorio, raccolto con accuratezza, anche durante la pratica liturgica della chiesa adiacente, sfruttando volentieri la tecnica allora in voga della contraffazione. La funzione semioforica della Biblioteca Sartoriana doveva tuttavia definire in primo luogo una nuova forma di memoria culturale per le "élite" di Breslavia e caratterizzarne il profilo originale dell’identità, un profilo orientato da quegli stessi ideali che guidavano i compositori dell’Italia settentrionale nel Seicento.

Big impact on the life of Church and on the public and cultural sphere has the formation of the new forms of religious life in Europe of the twelfth and thirteenth-century. So it was in Poland in the case of the monasteries of Poor Clares, especially Poor Clares in Stary Sacz which developed the rich musical life. Helpful in this regard were the structure of monastic life with various functions and ministries. Among them we find many serving liturgical music and not only and assigned to sisters of a special musical abilities. Moreover, sisters have led regular singing practice; learned new songs and even composed themselves. Inside the monastery acted religious band, for which the instruments were purchased; in a different period the monastic band functioned, employing also secular musicians, in addition to constantly employed organists. Sisters maintained also close contacts with the clergy who visiting the monastery brought ordered by Sisters liturgical books, among them a musical. In this way library of the monastery enriched by the book, which today are relics of the highest quality and sources of the specialized research on the culture of the monastery of Stary Sacz.

The collection of Pius Hancke’s works includes numerous pieces written for the harp. Its outstanding repertoire and provenance distinguishes it from other monastic collections. The collection belonged to the monk who developed it during his whole life and carried it with him when changing places he lived in. Last 30 years of his life Pius Hancke spent in Dominican monastery in Nysa. Notes used during the liturgy (masses, litanies) certainly were used there and currently are the only testimony of the music culture of this monastery. Next to liturgical pieces Hancke’s collection includes a number of instrumental pieces for the harp with the accompaniment of other instruments and contrafacta of opera arias. The latter often include arrangements of harp parts, most probably made by Hancke himself. Scriptors’ names relate this collection to the unique manuscript containing Antonio Vivaldi’s Credo.
