The book collection of the Jesuit College in Poznań

The Jesuit College in Poznań (Collegium Posnaniense Societatis Jesu) was founded in 1570 thanks to the endowment of Bishop Adam Konarski. The school began operating in 1573, and a theology course for Benedictine and Cistercian clerics was introduced in 1593, later also for Augustinian and Franciscan clerics. A boarding house for the poor was established in 1615, and a college for nobility in 1754. The College was dissolved in 1773. The extensive library contained fragments of episcopal book collections (those of Adam Konarski and Wawrzyniec Goślicki), as well as the books of Poznań nobility, priests and physicians. Several thousand volumes were taken to Sweden in 1656, and since 1693 they have been kept in Uppsala. At the time of the dissolution, the library reportedly held 20,000 volumes, of which more than 4,000 books were taken over by the schools of the Commission of National Education. Jesuit inventories from the early 17th century (from 1609 and 1610) preserved at Uppsala University Library form the basis of the reconstruction of the collection . They contain descriptions of approximately 8,000 items. Today, around 2,000 prints are held in Sweden (Uppsala Universitetsbibliotek), around 400 prints are kept at the University Library in Poznań, and individual volumes can be found in many other Polish and foreign libraries.
