RUBRYCELE I SCHEMATYZMY DIECEZJI LUBELSKIEJ W DOBIE ZABORÓW
ORDOS AND DIRECTORIES OF THE DIOCESE OF LUBLIN IN THE ERA OF THE PARTITIONS OF POLAND

Summary/Abstract: The Diocese of Lublin was established in 1805. However, the announcement of the papal bull was postponed until 1807 for political reasons. As a consequence, it was only from 1808 that ordos and directories of the Diocese of Lublin began to appear. In their external features and content layout, they resembled earlier prints issued in the Dioceses of Chełm. In the years 1808-1918, that is to say, in the period of the partitions of Poland, 111 ordos and 105 directories of the Diocese of Lublin were published. All of them were found, due to intensive research, in the archival and library institutions of Lublin. Ordos and directories of the Diocese of Lublin were published both in Warsaw and Lublin. They were in Latin, Polish and Russian. In the ordos, the liturgical calendar was included, followed by pastoral and liturgical announcements important from the point of view of the Diocese’s life and the ministry of the priests. The directories included information about the entire Church hierarchy under Russian rule, and about the clergy and institutions of the Diocese of Lublin. All the mentioned data have become a valuable source for research into the Church’s past.
