title: Atlas of the Latin Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Eighteenth Century

description: Atlas of the Latin Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Eighteenth Century (v1)

The application "Atlas of the Latin Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Eighteenth Century" was prepared by the Institute for the Historical Geography of the Church in Poland on the basis of data published in the work of S. Litak with the same title (TNKUL, Lublin 2006). The original database prepared by B. Szady was created in 1993-1996 prior to the publication of the previous edition of Litak's study ("The Latin Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth around 1772: Administrative Structures", Institute of East-Central Europe, Lublin 1996, Religious and Ethnic Communities in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Second Half of the 18th Century, 1). Work carried out over the next decade resulted in the development of the source base, additions and corrections. At the same time, a map was prepared and editorial changes were made regarding the system of source and bibliographic abbreviations.

The information presented in the application and in the downloadable files has been grouped into 4 sections: 1) churches, 2) monasteries and convents, 3) ecclesiastical boundaries, 4) secular boundaries. The whole resource has been provided with appropriate metadata and list of abbreviations.
