Abstract:Four stamps may be distinguished upon the basis of the preserved imprints of seals used by Polish Dominican provincial superiors in the fourteenth and fifteenth century. All are hagiographic and their field displays the Madonna and Child as well as a kneeling and praying figure symbolising the holder. The images and legends are stereotypical, making it possible for the stamp to be passed to successors holding the office in question. A single seal was at the disposal of several (two or three) provincial priors and a single stamp functioned for about 20–30 years. The seal was official and performed a prominent part in the propaganda of the holders’ power as well as being a symbol of its continuum and the unity of the office. The provincial superiors used it to seal both their letters and the documents issued by monasteries.
