The Article: Sources for Research on the Everyday Life of the Parish Clergy in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
Although research on parish clergy has a long tradition, little attention has been paid to the everyday lives of priests, understood as repetitive, regular, and routine practices and expe-riences. New Article by Stanisław WItecki, Artur Karpacz and dr hab Urszula Kicińska, entitled: “Sources for research on the everyday life of the parish clergy in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth” was published in the scientific Journal Saeculum Christianum.
The aim of this article is to discuss the availability and content of materials related to this subject, as well as to encourage historians to share information about any primary sources concerning the lives of pastors and assistant priests. The discussed sources include narrative sources (egodocuments and belles-lettres), ecclesiastical sources (court documentation, wills, protocols of episcopal and deanery visitations, records of deanery congregations, inventories of goods, entry books, registers, and parish chronicles), and secular sources (correspondence, supplications, founding documents, last wills, and financial records)
