Summary/Abstract: The article presents the process of establishing the provostry of the canons regular of Żagań in Zielona Góra and transferring to them the right of patronage of the local parish church, starting with the duke’s decision, its confirmation by the bishop and the pope, and ending with the document of the Archdeacon of Głogów, who was responsible for the transfer of the church to the canons. The original documents relating to this process are not known, but copies have survived in the Żagań cartulary, and together they form the source basis of the study. The article also focuses on issues related to the emoluments of the provostry and the importance of the institution in the local environment.
