The Zabiely Collection (Belarusian: Забельскія зборнікі) are a group of manuscripts that were written between 1787 and 1791 in the Belarusian, Polish, and Latin languages. They were created by the teachers of the Zabiely Dominican College to be performed in their school theatre. The college operated from 1716 to 1811 on the Zabiely estate, which was near the village of Валынцы (Верхнядзвінскі раён) (now in the Верхнядзвінскі раён in Belarus).[1] The collections are preserved in the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius.
