The author testifies that the onetime capuchine monastery in Maribor (1613 -1784) had a relatively rich library. In attesting this, he refers to the preserved sources on capuchine libraries of the time in the Styna capuchine province, the need of libraries for preaching and pastoral activities of the Maribor capuchines and to the fact that a private monastery, higher educational institutiton for capuchine priests, had existed for about one hundred years (1684-1784). The list of preserved books represents the material proof of the existence of the library.
