Abstract

In 1339, an anonymous official from the Benedictine provostry in the village of Ciepła was present at the Warsaw trial in which the Teutonic Order took part. This is the only trace about the provost, and the author was the first to include it in historiography. It was established that this provost was located in the village of Ciepła, located 19 km southwest of Radom; that it was dependent on the Abbey of Mont-Pelé (Łysa Góra), and its guardian was a monk named Benedict. The author assumes that the village of Ciepła together with the church was donated to the abbey when the latter was founded by Prince Bolesław Wrymouth in 1136 or 1137. At that time, the priestly service in the church was probably performed by a small group of Benedictine monks, who were then absorbed by the monastery on Mont-Pelé . The Ciepły church center disappeared, among others. for unclear reasons, between 1374 and 1408. The Benedictines from Mont-Pelé are believed to have exchanged Ciepła for another, closer village, Mniszek; or maybe they exchanged land, where they later built this second village themselves. The seat of the parish and the monastic provost were also moved from Ciepła to Mniszek. This was related to a change in the scope of existing parishes in the region: Ciepła was no longer included in the new parish in Mniszek. The provostship in Mniszek existed until 1462, when, as a result of an exchange, it and the village became the property of the Cistercian abbey in Wąchock. After the parish seat was moved from Ciepła to Mniszek, a significant part of the former parish was divided between the parishes of Wysoka and Kowale.
