Abstract

Traces of the Presence of Armenian Merchants in Łowicz and Armenian Episodes in the Religious History of This City in the 17th and 18th Centuries In the 17th and the 18th century in Łowicz Armenians were mostly tradesmen, particularly associated with the St Mathhew fair (on 10th October). Two Armenian families decided to settle in Łowicz: the Augustynowicz family (originally from Lwów) and the Faruchowicz family (from Jazłowiec). Also, in the 18th century four Roman Catholic priests of Armenian origin worked as canons at Łowicz collegiate chapter: Jan Nepomucen Awedyk, Mikołaj Jaśkiewicz, Franciszek Nikorowicz and Grzegorz Zachariasiewicz.
