Sekularyzacja klasztorów klarysek we Wrocławiu i w Głogowie oraz powiązane z nią losy urszulanek z Wrocławia i ze Świdnicy w świetle „Akt Büschinga”

Urszula Bończuk-Dawidziuk — 2024-07-23

This paper is a source edition of documents concerning the dissolution of the Poor Clares convents in Wrocław and Głogów, appropriated by the Prussian state under the secularisation edict of 1810. In those documents, the Ursuline convents in Wrocław and Świdnica are frequently mentioned because the fates of both nunneries were intertwined as a result of the dissolution in 1810. The source edition is preceded with a historical commentary explaining the character of the sources and briefly describing their contents. The files contain primarily information on the course of the dissolution process, while mentioning also contents of convent libraries – valuable manuscripts and music documentation, as well as works of art, particularly paintings, and handicraft (i.a., stamp seals). The most precious elements of the convents’ posessions were included into the library collection of the former university in Wrocław. In this paper, isolated examples of works of art preserved until the present day and stored in public collections were provided.
