The 1597-1598 Visitation to the Archpresbytery of Jeziorany: A Source for Analyzing the Economic Underpinnings and Operation of Parishes in the 16th-Century Diocese of Warmia

Summary/Abstract: The present study is based on an analysis of the 1597-1598 visitation report from the Diocese of Warmia, which documents the canonical visitation to the Archpresbytery of Jeziorany. Said report describes parishes and churches of this ecclesiastical division of the Diocese, with Cardinal Andrzej Batory serving as its bishop at the time. It also details the state of the parishes with regard to the their beneficial endowment, provides basic biographical data on parish priests, and records financial information on revenues of the diocesan churches. The aim of the paper is to outline the financial basis for parish operations in the Archpresbytery of Jeziorany. Much of the report's content was previously unrecorded in the literature, and it will shed new light on the operation of parishes in the late-16th-century Archdeaconry of Jeziorany. The analysis provides deeper insight into the the economic realities of the parish system throughout the Diocese of Warmia in that period.
