Regesty zaginionych dokumentów Alberta, księcia strzeleckiego
Registers of Lost Documents of Albert, Duke of Strzelce

Summary/Abstract: Maciej Woźny discusses the registers (Pl. regesty) of 19 missing documents of Prince Albert of Strzelce. Some of them were kept in the castle in Strzelce, in the former Archive of the Renards. They were known to Johann Joseph Reichel, who found them and also wrote a chronicle of the city in which he summarized these diplomas. The chronicle itself shared the fate of the documents and is now considered lost. However, information about the documents, mainly from the aforementioned chronicle, was noted down by Baron Friedrich von Schirnding, and several registers were also prepared by Wrocław archivists. Other documents are known from copiers and the knowledge shared by nineteenth- and twentieth-century researchers. The edition of the sources was prepared according to the documents adopted by editors of Registers of the Documents Stored in Upper Silesia, and the author attempted to discuss in more detail where a given diploma is known from and where it was stored. Woźny shows how much information about lost medieval documents can be found in the materials of ancient researchers and in modern sources.
