Summary/Abstract: History of Lutheran confession in the former Polish Livonia (Latvian Latgale) is very poorly investigated. Minor interest in this matter, which is fascinating due to Latgale location and its functioning in the cultural borderland, is mainly the effect of a serious decomposition of the source base and its strong dispersion. Th is text is aimed at showing a general outline of the history of Latgale Lutheranism in a period, when the so-called Polish Livonia belonged to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1561–1772). Particular emphasis is put on Lutherans’ relations with Catholics, who had a privileged position in Latgale in the “Polish times”.
