Abstract

Many of the marks of ownership were included in the inventory of the Library of the Cistercian Monastery in Trzebnica. Owners and history of individual book are known to us thanks to the provenience notes which Helena Szwejkowska recorded in her catalogue. The author of the abovementioned work gathered all provenience notes into a few groups, which allowed us to see how the book collection was growing.

That was possible because of buying books and people who decided to give their books to the monastery library. Although it was forbidden, a lot of nuns were in private possession of books and when they died their books become part of library in Trzebnica. Abbesses of the monastery in Trzebnica were also listed in Szwejkowska’s catalogue as book’s owners.

By provenience notes we can also see the connections between the monastery in Trzebnica and other Cistercian monasteries in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth eg. Lubiąż, Jemielnica, Przemęt. Also there was an exchange of books between Trzebnica and it’s branch in Owińska.

Many of the books were brought to Trzebnica by priests who were confessors and sermonizers to Cistercian nuns. There are evidences that some of the books were brought to the monastery in Trzebnica by Eugeniusz Lenga (who later was an abbot in Jemielnica) and Benedykt Cieszkont (who used to be the confessor in Trzebnica). Kasper from Przemęt has to be mentioned as the one who brought some of the manuscripts.

A lot of highly valuable information can be read by historians from margin notes and other marks that were written on the pages of books in the library in Trzebnica. Especially important are provenience marks from the period of the dissolution of the monastery when all the precious books were removed from Trzebnica by Johann Gustaw Büsching.
