Staropolska Liber baptisatorum jako edycja (stan badań, metody, postulaty)
Old Polish Liber baptisatorum as an Edition (State of Research, Methods, Postulates)

Summary/Abstract: Old Polish church registers require extensive research and editing. The author of the article focused on the baptismal registers (Liber baptisatorum). In Polish historiography, the content of this type of sources from sixteen parishes has already been published. The state of research is far from sufficient to get a broader picture of record registration in the Polish Church. The article attempts to recapitulate the achievements of historiography to date in the field of development of research tools used in the Polish editions of the baptismal registers. The methods used in these editions are very diverse and not always in line with scientific needs. The analyzes contained in the article lead to a number of postulates both regarding the principles of issuing records of baptism and meeting research needs related to research on the social stratification of Polish parishes, the history and geography of the Church, historical demography, and modern diplomats.
