Summary/Abstract: The following were discussed in the archival context: the place of storage, state of preservation, physical description and reasons why the 1650 inventory of the Płock bishopric has been little used by researchers. The discussion was conducted against the background of the achievements of Polish historiography in the matter in question, as well as the state of preservation and the content of other inventories of the Płock bishopric from the 16th-18th centuries, preserved in the Diocesan Archives in Płock. Then, the origin and course of the 1650 inspection and review, carried out on the initiative of the bishop of Płock, Karol Ferdynand Waza, were presented. The author presented the contents of the inventory broken down into descriptions of 139 villages, 47 granges, 7 towns and briefly characterized the other items of the contents. They pointed to the extensive possibilities of using the source in research on the economic history of Mazovia against the comparative background of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, social relations, the structure of farm size, settlement and onomastics.
