Summary/Abstract: The Basilian monks, by reason of their ownership of landed estates conferred to them by charters, managed monastic manors. In supervising their subjects and in organising work they followed the guidelines set out in economic instructions, such as an instruction for the procurator, i.e. the Basilian father stewarding a manor at the village of Werchrata in the Bełz Voivodeship, formulated in 1768. The instruction contains rules of the procurator’s conduct towards the owners of neighbouring estates, the domestics, servants and subjects of the monastery, his care for manorial buildings and livestock, for harvest and crops.
