Summary/Abstract: In the libraries of the Dominican monasteries in Gidle, Łęczyca, Łowicz, Piotrków Trybunalski and Sieradz there were 54 polonica: 16 works in the library in Gidle, 2 in Łęczyca, 6 in Łowicz, 4 in Piotrków and 26 in Sieradz. This amounted to about four per cent of all the volumes held by these Dominican libraries, as can be proved on the basis of the library inventories in the Archive of the Polish Province of Dominicans in Cracow, the Diocesan Archive in Włocławek as well as on the basis of the ex-Dominican book collections held by the University Library in Warsaw, the Library of the Higher Theological Seminary in Włocławek and the Library of the Dominican College of Philosophy and Theology in Cracow.
