Abstract

The article presents the records of 43 lost documents of Bernard, Duke of Opole, Lord of Strzelce and Niemodlin. Half of them were entered into a copybook currently kept in Vienna. Some were kept in private archives, in Szydłowiec Śląski and Niemodlin, and in the municipal archive in Strzelce Opolskie. Before the Second World War, inventories were made, and municipal documents were entered into a chronicle, now lost, known from the work of Johann Joseph Reichel and the extracts of Baron Friedrich von Schirnding. The remaining documents are known from a copyist kept in Wrocław, the Saalbuchs and the Carolingian cadastre. The edition of the sources was prepared according to the principles adopted by the publishers of the
Registries of documents kept in Upper Silesia, trying to discuss in more detail where a given diploma is known from, and where it was kept. This article shows how much information about the lost medieval documents can be found in old inventories and in modern sources.
