The Foundation of the House of Recollection Fundatio Domus Recollectionis Puszcza Korabiewska [The Korabiew Forest] — 1675 (?) Introduction The title Domus Recollectionis —The Foundation of the House of Recollection (FDR) is given here in its abbreviated version. The full title is: Fundatio Domus Recollectionis Clericorum B.M.V. sine macula conceptae. This is the title given to this writing by Fr. Papczyński himself in a manuscript which has not survived to our times, but which was sent to Rome in connection with his beatification process. In the Protocollum Ordinis, in which FDR was entered, the writing was divided into three chapters, each with its own title. The first chapter was entitled: Origo Fundationis Congregationis ("The Origin of the Foundation of the Congregation"), and this title was later used to refer to FDR in its entirety, since in reality FDR treats, much more widely, the founding or establishment of the Congregation rather than simply the founding of its first house in the Korabiew Forest, called “Domus Recollectionis,” which was distinct from the neighboring Krajewski hermitage, although it was sometimes called by the same name.214 It seems that Fr. Papczyński wrote FDR at the end of 1675. Although he is not explicitly indicated as the author, it is easy to prove that he wrote FDR.215 214 Cf.
