The development of the parish network in the archdeaconry of Lublin until the end of the 16th century. The current state of research
Abstract
The article summarizes all the findings on the development of the parish network in the archdeaconry of Lublin in the period from the appearance of the church structures in this area until the beginning of the 17th century. The work which was of fundamental importance in research on the issue under discussion was the study by Przemysław Szafran, published in the 1950s. Researchers exploring the issue of the development of the church structures in the areas around Lublin still refer to the findings included in the work mentioned above. There is no other work which could be compared to Szafran’s one, despite the fact that numerous studies conducted in recent decades have revealed that it is already out of date. The postulate for the future is, therefore, conducting comprehensive research on the development of the church structures in the archdeaconry of Lublin in the first centuries of their development and presenting up-to-date data on this subject.
