Ordos and Directories of the Diocese of Chełm and Lublin

Abstract

The Diocese of Chełm and Lublin was a complex phenomenon of the administrative and ecclesiastical nature, which appeared at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Its non-canonical but commonly used name was referred to the people and things that were linked to it. In this way, one can also speak about ordos and directories of the Diocese of Chełm and Lublin. So far the ordos and directories were known only to a limited extent. As it turns out, they were published over the whole time of the existence of the Diocese of Chełm and Lublin. The full set of their editions can be found in the library and archival institutions of Lublin.
