Abstract

The Dominican Convent in Wrocław was founded in 1290-1296 by Prince Henry V the Fat and from the beginning belonged to the Polish Province of the Order of Preachers. In 1706, along with other Silesian convents, it was incorporated into the Behemian Province, and between 1754 and 1810 it operated within the Silesian congregation of Blessed Ceslaus. As a result of this affiliation with the Bohemian Province, from the first half of the 18th century onward, the Wrocław Dominican nuns began to be recorded in the necrologies of Czech and Moravian monasteries - a total of 61 sisters. This article aims to present these nuns, providing not only their names but also their dates of death, ages, years of religious profession, and any additional records concerning them.
