SOURCE TEXTS CONCERNING ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICIAL’S DISTRICT AND DISTRICT CONSISTORY IN PIOTRKÓW [TRYBUNALSKI]

Summary/Abstract: Establishment of the District Consistory in Piotrków [Trybunalski] has been a reason for a controversy among historians. The basic problem was the date of its founding and its territorial range. The problem was solved after finding the proper document by the Bishop-Nominee of Kuyavia and Kalisz (kujawsko-kaliski) of 1 January 1819 reorganizing the structure of the ecclesiastical judiciary in the newly formed diocese. Some weeks later, the governor of the diocese issued another document precisely specifying the territory of the Piotrków Official’s District and naming the head of the consistory. Then the new official, after election of the persons sitting in the consistory, notified in a special letter all the concerned clergy of his act. The said documents, except the first one, were certified copies. After proper elaboration used in publication of documents they should be a valuable source of knowledge for the history of the Piotrków Consistory.
