Movable Property from dissolved dominican and carmelite Monasteries in the collective Inventories of cassation Files of the Prussian Ministry of Religious affairs in the geheimes Staatsarchiv Preussischer kulturbesitz in Berlin

Summary/Abstract: the article contains a discussion of inventories of movable property in Dominican and carmelite monasteries in Gdańsk, prepared for the needs of the cassation action implemented after 1817. Although the inventory was carried out in both monasteries at the same time, different categories of items were used. in the Dominican monastery there was a total of thirteen inventory categories, whereas in the carmelite monastery there were fourteen. only paintings were recorded by both commissions in a similar way. in this article, data regarding both inner- city monasteries are compared with inventory data from the suburban church of St. ignatius, which belonged to the Jesuit order until 1780 and was inventoried during the napoleonic period in 1810. What is noteworthy in some groups of items (e.g. among the so-called silver and decorative items) is the significant impoverishment of the furnishings of churches located inside the city walls, undoubtedly the effect of two sieges that Gdańsk underwent at that time. however, in some categories, e.g. among chasubles and liturgical vestments, the Dominican and carmelite churches retained an advantage over the former Jesuit structure. this was probably due to the much longer period of existence of these centers. the content of the paintings preserved in both monastery churches can be used for research on cult and religiosity at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. both inventories are included (in the original language) in the appendix at the end of the article.
