- The author deals with a number of problems connected with the state of preservation of historical monuments which played and important part in the history of art of the Renaissance and Mannerism Pediod, namely the church pulpits. The pulpits erected within the period of 1550—1650 in Silesia were, as a rule, built for Protestant churches and constituted extremely essential component parts of their furniture, It is therefore easily understandable that they were the elements of ecclesiastic fittings that required artistic forms adequate to their particular position inside the temple. The author quotes a series of statistical data concerning the number of the preserved pulpits. He states that within the area of Silesia about 100 historic pulpits of which 11 are built of stone and one of brick can be found. This number constitutes more than one-third of all historic pulpits in Polish churches. Then the author proceeds to the discussion of considered materials of which the Silesian pulpits were executed; wood is to. be the most frequently applied material — decorated either with polychrome paintings or ornamental carvings. On some pulpits there are also decorations in the form of canvas paintings. About 10 per cent of the pulpits preserved were built of stone, e.g. sandstone, alabaster, serpentine, but those which were constructed of both stone and timber may also be found. No cataloque of the historic church pulpits still existent in the province of Wrocław and in part by of Zielona Góra, where 85 per cent of a total amount of those coming from the period of 1550—1650 are grouped, no later than that prepared by H. Lutch at the end of the 19th centrury is avaibable at present. A journey made by the author in 1974 during which he visited more than 80 localities within the area in question enabled him to find out that the conditions of preservation of the prevailing number of pulpits are satisfactory. However, the original polychrome paintings on wooden pulpits are considered to be most decayed. In many of them baldaquins and some details of carved decorations are missing. During the last 15 years a couple of pulpits got lost. Another problem with which the author deals concerns hazards associated with incompetent renovation or restoration of pulpits carried out without the knowledge of conservaton authorities. To, some up the above remarks he gives a list ot objects requiring urgent treatment by restorers. Still another problem that he discusses regards re storations of the objects existing in our days that have been carried out during the past centuries or are being carried out in our times. Critical comments has been made by the author with concern to restoration of some pulpits an/d the repeateng failures emphasised as, for instance, the overpainting of original inscriptions or applying an improper palette and the like. In conclusion of his article the author advanced a suggestion that a wide action of inventorying of historical monuments should be started in Silesia and expresses his hope that the present article has sufficiently proved the urgent need to introduce a new organizational model for the field conservation authorities. According to his view it is indispensable that with conservation of each movable historical monument a t least two experts i.e. an art historian and a practicizing restorer should be entrused.
