Abstrakt
The article discusses the issue of research on seal matrices which, following secularisation, were transferred to museum collections. In particular, analysis is undertaken of the seal image and inscription. The guiding idea behind the considerations undertaken here is to draw attention to the multifaceted benefits derived from research on monasterial seal matrices and their underappreciated value as source material for not only church sigillography but also for study of the history of Silesian monasteries.
