Summary
A previously unknown diary by Father Antoni Zawadzki, protoarchimandrite of the Basilian Order, provides unprecedented insights into the 1720 Provincial Synod of Zamość, a significant event in the history of the Uniate Church. The document, discovered in the collection of Orthodox Bishop Pavel and held at the St Petersburg Institute of History, offers detailed accounts of synodal proceedings, administrative decisions, and correspondence with the Roman Curia. Edited according to modern historical source standards, this Latin-Polish text enriches our understanding of clerical practices, governance, and ecclesiastical dynamics during this period. Its significance lies in its dual role as both an official order document and a narrative source, reflecting the intersection of legal, administrative, and pastoral concerns within the Kyiv Metropolis.
