Summary/Abstract: The following publication presents the 18th-century visitation records of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Zielonki near Krakow. The historic church of the 14th century was dependent for years on the Krakow Cathedral Chapter, then the Academy of Krakow (now The Jagiellonian University) and St Ann Collegiate Church. The article presents, as source editions, the three last visitation records of Zielonki before the fall of the Republic of Poland: of 1727 (AVCap 61 and AV 23), of 1748 (AV 29 and Załuski’s Tables 7) and of 1783 (AV 55). These visitation books are held in the Archive of the Metropolitan Curia in Krakow (3 Franciszkańska Street). These visitations are manuscripts written in Latin and Polish with numerous Latin phrases. Only Bishop Załuski’s Tables are a printed form completed with hand written information. The authors aimed to edit sources and to make them available to a wider audience. The methodology of the work focused on full forms of the abbreviated words used by the writers, spelling modernization with a view to making the text more legible, and the adding of the diacritic marks and punctuation where necessary. The authors provided the text with footnotes (source and explanatory notes) and endnotes (terminology). These editing activities comply with the rules of the historical source edition for modern texts. As a result, the authors present three full texts of the visitations along with inventories, introduction footnotes, endnotes and bibliography.
