Statute of the Polish Province of the Order of Preachers – place in the law of the order and historical outline

Summary/Abstract: The author of this article presents the location of the Statute of the Polish Province of the Order of Preachers in the law of the Dominican Order and its history. This document is a normative act for the Polish Dominican province and constitutes its own law. The author, taking up this topic as the first one, indicated in the study detailed source materials. On their basis he proved that the provincial statute came into being as a result of the provincial chapter of 1969. The statute is also grounded in the provisions of the Dominican religious constitutions and in the decisions of the general chapter in River Forest in the USA from 1968. The author of the study, on the basis of an analysis of the changes made to the Statute during the provincial chapters of the last 50 years, has shown three time caesuras that make it possible to indicate the most significant events influencing the provincial law.
