Tithe Districts in the Medieval Transylvanian Diocese

Summary/Abstract: The administration of the tithe required the division of the dioceses into smaller territorial units. These units varied considerably from diocese to diocese, first of all in terms of their names, but also partly in terms of their size and differentiation. The basic unit of tithing in the Transylvanian diocese, primarily in the territories subjected to the episcopal tithe, was the comitatus, which, despite the similarities in name and territory, cannot be identified with the secular counties, but rather with the archdeaconries (or deaneries). Smaller territorial units, such as districtus and (sub) cultellus/succutellus, are mainly found in the more dispersed areas from Fehér/Alba and Küküllő/Târnava counties paying tithes to the chapter. In my study I have also tried to define the extent of these tithe districts.
