Materiały do dziejów kasaty zakonu jezuitów w 1773 r. i początków działalności KEN w Bibliotece Naukowej PAU i PAN i Bibliotece Książąt Czartoryskich w Krakowie
Materials about the Dissolution of the Jesuit Order in 1773 and the Beginnings of the Commission of National Education Activity in the Academic Library of the Polish Academy Of Art and Sciences and the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Princes Czar

Summary/Abstract: The collection of the Academic Library of the Polish Academy of Art and Sciences and the Polish Academy of Sciences contains five volumes of documents titled “Education Nationale” (book number 2220, vol. 1–5). One of the volumes is held by the Princes Czartoryski Library. The materials are neither organised in chronological order nor by theme. Some threads related to the dissolution of the Jesuit Order as well as the establishment and activity of the Commission of National Education and the Polish-Lithuanian Commission for Distribution, responsible for distributing assets of the Jesuit Order for educational purposes under the Commission of National Education supervision, can be separated. What is worth to pay attention to are the letters of ex-Jesuits to king Stanisław August Poniatowski as well as other pieces of correspondence, a variety of draft laws, practical issues on goods and financial matters, minutes on meetings of different assemblies, or attempts to establish a position on numerous current issues. Eight handwritten maps showing distribution of schools supervised by the Commission of National Education within departments, as well as numerous universals and decrees are also worth noting.
