Inventories of the Bernardine Monastery and Church in Lviv in the fourth quarter of the 18th century

Summary/Abstract: Founded in 1460, the Bernardine Monastery of Lviv found itself under the Austrian Habsburg rule in 1772. The Austrian authorities required frequent inventory taking, even every few years. The Lviv Bernardines compiled seven inventories in the 18th century. The bishop of the local diocese and the provincial of the order made sure that the requirements of the Austrian authorities were fulfilled. The inventories were taken personally by the Bernardines from the monastery. Next, a commission made up of representatives of state and church authorities verified the compliance of the inventory with the actual state affairs, with the commission members putting their signatures and seals to the document. The inventories were used not only by the Austrian authorities but also by Bernardine provincials to control the financial status of the various monasteries. In addition, the inventories were presented and approved during provincial chapters.
