Abstract

There were two very vibrant female monastic centers in Upper Silesia, namely the monastery of canonesses of the Premonstraten Order, i.e. Norbertines, in Czarnowąsy near Opole and the convent of nuns of the Order of Preachers in Racibórz. Both were the fruit of the religious and prestigious aspirations of the Silesian Piasts. And while Czarnowąsy was inhabited by nuns representing the old canonical type, Racibórz was inhabited by nuns belonging to the then avant-garde monastic circles, representatives of innovative Mendicant movements - the Dominican nuns. This aspect is worth emphasizing, or at least should remain in the mind of those who study the fate of the Holy Spirit Monastery. From the perspective of the Dominican women's movement, the Racibórz monastery has always been a leader, both due to the prestige of the convent and the progressiveness of the spiritual and intellectual sphere of the nuns. It was only during the Thirty Years' War that the rank of the monastery decreased compared to the well-developing Dominican monasteries in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which quickly and effectively adopted the Trent reform.
