A MYSTERIOUS BROTHER JAMES - THE 14™ CENTURY DOMINICAN LECTOR (a contribution to studies of medieval sfragistics and monasticism)
Abstract
The article presents a thorough interpretation of a seal stamp, found during the archaeological excavations
at the northern side o f the Sacred Mary Church in the Poznań Cathedral Island (Ostrów Tumski). The
stamp is dated to the period between the end o f the 13th and the first half of the 14th century. This chronology is
based upon its form and elements of its decoration. A legend inscribed on the stamp’s frame, informing that its
belonged to James - a lector of the preacher order, made possible to identify a social status o f the owner along
with his position in the Dominican structure. Unfortunately, neither connection between James and any concrete
order nor whereabouts of his stay at Ostrów Tumski were recognized. These questions might be answered
only after more detailed studies of the Dominican related archives are carried out.
