Przebieg postępowania kasacyjnego w opactwie norbertanów przy kościele św. Wincentego we Wrocławiu w świetle Akt Büschinga
The dissolution procedure at the Premonstratensian Abbey of St. Vincent in Wrocław in the light of the Büsching Papers

Summary/Abstract: The present transliteration of source material dealing with the Premonstratensian (Norbertine) Monastery of St. Vincent in Wrocław is based on archive documents preserved among the so-called Büsching Papers, a collection of bound volumes kept in the Wrocław University Library and documenting the secularisation of Silesian monasteries in 1810–1812. It complements the transliteration of two extensive archive documents associated with the Wrocław Premonstratensian Monastery (report and inventory), published in the previous volume of Hereditas Monasteriorum. The current volume presents a transliteration of the remaining 37 documents of the Büsching Papers dealing with that monastery: – correspondence (originals or copies of letters) between the secularisation commissioner Johann Gustav Gottlieb Büsching (1783–1829) and the Central Secularisation Commission (Haupt-Säkularisations-Commission zur Aufhebung der Stifter und Klöster in Schlesien), copies of some Büsching’s letters to e.g. Karl August von Hardenberg (1750–1822) and Johann Daniel Wilhelm Otto Uhden (1763–1835) as well as letters (originals) addressed to Büsching; – Büsching’s notes on loans from the monastery library and verification of paintings from the monastery’s collection with regard to a future painting gallery. The rich contents of these hand-written documents constitute valuable source material for contemporary researchers, who can follow the dissolution procedure in the Wrocław Premonstratensian Monastery on their basis. The transliteration is preceded by an introduction featuring several examples of selected topics on the basis of which it is possible to determine the chronology and course of specific events of interest to researchers (e.g. selection of paintings for the painting gallery).
