It is not known when exactly the abbey was founded. King Casimir the Restorer, may have re-established the Abbey in 1040 during his rebuilding of the newly established Kingdom of Poland, after a [[Pagan reaction in Poland|Pagan rebellion]] and a disastrous Czech raid of Duke [[Bretislaus I, Duke of Bohemia|Bretislaus I]] (1039).
▲ The Cyrillo-Methodian tradition began in Moravia and in the year 862. The brothers, Saints Cyril and Methodius, were the missionaries who established a vernacular linguistic tradition in the practice of Christianity amongst the Moravian Slavs. This tradition quickly spread throughout the region and into the parts of what is today Poland. The monks at the Tyniec monastery practiced the liturgical Mass and read from translations of the psalms and gospel in the Proto-Slavic tongue. Old Church Slavonic is viewed by linguists as a reference point to reviewing the proto-slavic tongue. In 1096, the Monks of Tyniec were expelled and the vernacular Slavonic liturgical Mass suppressed.<ref>{{cite book|title=Comparative Slavic Studies: The Cyrillo Methodian Tradition|date=Jan 1, 1985|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|isbn=9783110863895|pages=147–148|last1=Jakobson|first1=Roman}}</ref> These expulsions paralleled events in almost the same year throughout the region, most notably at the Sazava Monastery where the Slavonic Rite Mass was also still in use at the same time as in Tyniec.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fpVOAAAAIAAJ&lpg=PP2&ots=Gy911ROzYc&dq=ap%20vlasto%20entry%20of%20the%20slavs&pg=PA140#v=onepage&q=ap%20vlasto%20entry%20of%20the%20slavs&f=false|title=The Entry of the Slavs into Christendom|website=Google Play Books, p. 140|publisher=Cambridge University Press|last1=Vlasto|first1=A.P.|accessdate=December 12, 2015}}</ref> There too, the Cyrillo-Methodian Sazawa monks were expelled and replaced with monks of the Latin rite.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PP0pAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA487&lpg=PA487&dq=Sazawa+monks+expulsion&source=bl&ots=huuTjVWgXh&sig=V5BbSv_e9Ot4-xkHLDtoH1VvYLk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj9gMHAibLNAhVB4WMKHXJ1ArcQ6AEIITAB#v=onepage&q=Sazawa%20monks%20expulsion&f=false|title=History of the Christian Church, Volume 2|website=Google Play Books, p. 488|publisher=John Murray|last1=Robertson|first1=James Craigie|accessdate=June 18, 2016}}</ref>
The [[Order of Saint Benedict|Benedictines]], invited to Tyniec by King Casimir the Restorer, were tasked with restoring order as well as cementing the position of the State and the Church. First Tyniec Abbot was Aaron, who became the Bishop of Kraków. Since there is no conclusive evidence to support the foundation date as 1040, some historians claim that the current abbey was founded by Casimir the Restorer’ son, King [[Boleslaw II the Generous]].
