At the beginning of the 18th century, the Dominicans’ monasteries located in Silesia were included in the Czech Dominicans’ Province. Those were monasteries and convents based in Wrocław (men’s and women’s), Świdnica, Głogów, Ząbkowice Śląskie, Bolesławiec, Opole, Racibórz (men’s and women’s) and Cieszyn. Towards the end of the 1740s, there was one more monastery in Nysa added to the group. No wonder in the Czech and Moravian archives we find sources where mentions of Silesian Dominicans appear, among them those of the memorative character. Monasteries and convents were obliged to exchange information on the death of monks and nuns and to enter the fact in the mortuary register. That stemmed from one of the fundamental monks’ duties, that is to cultivate the memory of the dead (memoria). Books of the dead (libri mortuorum) were most helpful in executing this duty as it was in them that the date of each monk’s death was recorded, likewise that of the monastery’s benefactors. The information on the death was passed by means of letters called “rotulas”. The texts of rotulas were of a varied character, yet in contrast with classical mortuary registers they contained extended information on the departed monk or nun. They also offered room for reflexions of the theological-philosophical nature, connected mainly with the passing of human life. I was able to find notices of this type in the archival output of the Dominicans’ convent in Znojmo, stored in the Moravian State Archives in Brno. There are 93 of them in total, dating from the years 1734, 1738, 1740, 1743, 1744 (plus one letter of 1760 and one of 1792). Of them 27 notices came from Silesia – 21 monasteries and 6 convents. The largest number of the letters came from the St Adalbert monastery based in Wrocław (7) and then from that in Opole (4), three letters each have been preserved from the convents in Głogów, Ząbkowice Śląskie, Racibórz (from the Dominican nuns), Wrocław (St. Catherine convent), two letters from Świdnica, and one each from Bolesławiec and Cieszyn. There has been preserved no letter written by the Dominicans based in Racibórz, and at the time under analysis the Dominicans’ monastery in Nysa was not established yet. The notices of deaths of monks from the Dominicans’ monasteries and convents in Silesia have a varied character. All of them, beside the letters from Wrocław, were written by hand. Part of them (sent from Opole, Głogów, Bolesławiec) contain only basic information concerning the dead monks, such as the date (the time) of the demise, its cause, age, number of years spent in the monastery, sometimes the last function performed (or those held earlier). The notices from Ząbkowice Śląskie, Świdnica, but especially those from Wrocław, contain also reflexions on passing and fragility of human life, supported with suitable quotations from or references to the Old or the New Testament. The most extensive texts can be found in the letters prepared in the Wrocław monastery. All of them were printed. The Silesian Dominicans did not use forms; neither did they copy models used in other convents. This concerns also the iconography. Each notice was signed by the Prior of the monastery in which the monk had died, although there is no certainty that it was they who wrote the letters. In Chapter III, I included a list of Silesian Dominicans whose names appeared in the death notices preserved in the Czech and Moravian archives (in Prague and in Brno). They were made by the monks from the Czech and Moravian monasteries, such as: Olomouc, Jablonné, Litoměřice, Uherski Brod, Znojmo, České Budějovice, supposedly Prague as well. In total, there are 8 of them. We find in them from 48 to 331 names of monks connected with the Dominican monasteries in Silesia. The obituaries were independent of one another. None of the sources copies the whole information contained in the others. Most probably the basis for drawing the martyrologies were the letters written by the Prior of the given monastery, similar to those which I presented in Chapter II. The selection of information was the responsibility of the person preparing the death notice. It is clear that it was subjective. Some of the authors limited themselves to giving the first name and the surname of the dead monk only, others provided a series of items of additional information, including a short characteristic of the departed monk. The largest number of notices relate to the monks of the Wrocław monastery. The records concerning them were accompanied by the largest amount of additional information. The notices from the monasteries in Głogów, Opole and Racibórz also came on a fairly regular basis (in any order). The Silesian monks started being entered in the Czech and Moravian death notices from the beginning of the inclusion of the Silesian monasteries and convents in the Czech Province at the beginning of the 18th century and the records were continued also following the establishment of independent Blessed Ceslaus Congregation in the mid-18th century until the secularization of the Silesian monasteries in 1810. The largest amount of information connected with the deaths of the Silesian Dominicans comes from the 1730s (about a half of all the examined sources), then there is that of the 1750s. The presented specifications of the Silesian Dominicans do not have the character of the primary source publication. The majority of them have not been known to researchers until now, though. It can be hoped that they will make the basis of further detailed studies and analyses.
