Summary/Abstract: In the publication, the author presents the visitation records of the parish of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Zielonki. First mentioned in the 14th century, for years the parish was under the patronage of the Krakow cathedral chapter, and later (1531-1878) of the Krakow Academy (Jagiellonian University). Since the late 18th century, the church in Zielonki was considered a filial church of the collegiate church of St. Anne in Krakow. Six visitation records of the parish of Zielonki held by the Archives of the Metropolitan Curia in Krakow are presented in the form of an edition of the source text. The texts are from: 1598 (AV Cap 15, and AV Cap 65 compendium), 1603 (AV 4), 1610 (AV Cap 28), 1618 (AV Cap 38 and AV Cap 40), 1629 (AV Cap 42) and 1663 (AV 8). The visitation records are in the form of manuscripts in Latin. The author’s aim was to edit these sources as faithfully as possible in order to make them available to a wider audience as well as researchers. The publisher’s interference with the source text was limited to replacing the abbreviations used by the writers with full words for greater readability of the text. The text was provided with textual, bibliographic and terminological annotations. The editorial activities undertaken are in accordance with the principles of scientific editing of historical sources for modern texts. As a result, the author presents five complete texts of the records and one annotated extract containing decreta executiva visitationum (AV 4). This work is a continuation of the publication of the visitation records of the Zielonki parish, the eighteenth-century part of which was published in the „ABMK” in 2019. In this way, all known visitation records of the Zielonki parish from the Old Polish period are now published.
