Abstract

Article discusses the results of provenance research of military objects in the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków, which were once gifted to the Temple of the Sibyl in Puławy by
prince Dominik Radziwiłł, entailer of Nieśwież and Ołyka, as well as pupil of Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski, and a friend of his younger son Konstanty. Radziwiłł, who in his military career followed Napoleon I, paid for his loyalty to the French emperor with the loss of a significant part of his legacy in 1812, and just over a year later — his own life. The analysis of the preserved archives allowed the selection of a group of objects derived from the Radziwiłł collection, and to introduce previously unknown facts concerning those objects.
