Created around 1790, Geographical and Statistical Description of the Parishes of the Kingdom of Poland<\/em> (Geograficzno-statystyczne opisanie parafi\u00f3w Kr\u00f3lestwa Polskiego) consists of 12 volumes and contains sketches of over 2,000 parishes organised by dioceses, archdeaconries and deaneries. These sketches were created on the basis of surveys prepared by parish priests of the Crown\u2019s dioceses (Cracow, Gniezno, Pozna\u0144, W\u0142oc\u0142awek, P\u0142ock, \u0141uck) and probably constituted an intermediate stage in the process of preparing special maps of the Crown\u2019s voivodeships. The layout of the content of the sketches reflects the structure of the parish surveys upon which they were based. The idea of using parish surveys to prepare the maps was born in the circles close to Micha\u0142 Jerzy Poniatowski, the bishop, and later primate, of P\u0142ock, and a brother of King Stanis\u0142aw August. The content of the survey was probably prepared by Rev. Franciszek Czajkowski, who immediately filled it in, as a model example, for the parish in Tarchomin, of which he was in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geographical and Statistical Description of the Parishes of the Kingdom of Poland<\/em> is currently kept in the manuscripts section of the Vladimir Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine (ref. no.: I 5975). It\u2019s a particularly valuable source material, as the parish surveys used for its preparation were burned by the Germans during the Second World War (1944). It hasn\u2019t been subject to a systematic study and analysis and has been photocopied or reprinted in fragments only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual volumes of the sketches are arranged by diocese and contain a list of archdeaconries and deaneries with information on the total number of parishes in each unit provided at the beginning. The sheets that mark the start of individual deanery sections contain a list of parishes belonging to a given deanery, a general sketch of that deanery showing the seats of the parishes, the deanery\u2019s boundaries and its main roads. Each parish, with few exceptions, has a separate page of its own, and the structure of the page reflects the points in the parish surveys and has a similar layout. It has a header and footer with the name of the parish and contain information on its administrative affiliation, both within the secular (voivodeship, district) and ecclesiastical (deanery) system. There is a sketch map of the parish in the centre of the page, and each sketch uses the road and settlement network as its basis. In the lower left corner of each page, there is a list of names of parish settlements with the number of houses and their distance and direction from the parish church. The settlements status as part of royal and ecclesiastical estates is also recorded where applicable. The lower right corner contains the names of neighbouring parishes and more important towns. There are also descriptions of farm buildings, mainly mills, below the sketch or on its left. Other elements: waters, forests and mountains are arranged on the pages in an irregular manner, depending on the shape of the main sketch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
