Abstrakt

Cyprian Norwid Library of Elbląg includes the collection of the former Elbląg City Library before 1945. Among them are 124 volumes (including 12 bound together), which were once owned by the Library of the Bernardine Monastery in Kadyny. The Bernardine Monastery in Kadyny was erected 18 August, 1683. At the beginning of the eighteenth century it became a known sanctuary of St. Anthony of Padua in the region. In 1826 the monastery was dissolved by the Prussian authorities. Before the dissolution the monastic library stored 1327 volumes. In a separate cabinet, outside the library, the Bernardines had 29 volumes of libri prohibita. In April 1830, part of the book collection of Kadyny was included in the library of the Lower Secondary School of Elblag, and then it was transformed to the Elbląg City Library. An unspecifi ed number of books from the library of the Bernardines in Kadyny, in the nineteenth century, were taken over by the Chapter of Warmia in Frombork, and currently they are stored in the Library of “Hosianum” the Seminary of the Archdiocese of Warmia in Olsztyn. Among the 124 cataloged volumes of Kadyny in the Library of Elblag, by far the most of them concern the subject of theology and asceticism. The oldest book in the analyzed collection of Kadyny is Lombardica historia by Jacob de Voragine, published in Nuremberg in 1501, the newest one is Veritas Christianae Religionis by Idzi Smukalski released in 1788 in Poznań. Overall, 31 volumes come from the sixteenth century, 54 volumes come from the seventeenth century and 39 volumes come from the eighteenth century.
