Kapłani uniccy w eparchii przemysko-samborskiej za rządów biskupa Atanazego Krupeckiego (1610–1652)

The article lists the Uniate priests of the Eparchy of Przemyśl-Sambor under the reign of Bishop Atanazy Krupecki (1610–1652). This issue was overlooked in the existing historiography. The query was performed in the sources, that allowed the religious identification of a single priests, and thus, it was possible to distinguish whether the one was Uniate or Orthodox. The identification was carried out on the basis of the records of parishes created by the owners of the goods where the church was located. There was collected information about 95 Uniate priests and 12 more who probably were Uniates. Krupecki was the one who created the Uniate hierarchical structure in the Eparchy of Przemyśl-Sambor. This structure covered all the offices and the entire area of the vast diocese. The name register of the Uniate clergy allowed to determine the names of the following: one bishop ordinary, two bishops coadjutor, two vicars-general, nineteen kryłoszan [‘Russian cathedral canons’], three protopop [Russian dean] and two of them most probably Uniate, ten basilians monks incl., two monastery igumens, and additionaly one basilian nun (probably Uniate), and 71 popes (and additionally 11 popes probably Uniate) as well as three deacons. There were more functions and offices than exercising them priests, because many priests cumulated benefices and ecclesiastical dignities. Majority of the Uniate popes were to be found in the royal estates. The information about the 52 Uniate popes (and further 5 popes who probably were Uniates) was found in 11 districts. Most of the popes were in the royal estate called Sambor estate (21 Uniate popes and one probably Uniate). From the gentry villages was retrieved information on 5 Uniate popes (and one probably Uniate). In cities and towns belonging to the Latin Bishops of Kraków and Przemyśl cities and to the Uniate bishop of Przemyśl were indentified 10 popes of the Uniate denomination (and 4 probably Uniate). Some priests served more than one church. Under the care of the Uniate popes were 52 churches, including 6 in the cities and 46 in the villages. Among the collaborators of bishop Krupecki who occupied important offices in the eparchy were priests from outside the diocese of Przemyśl, who changed the rite from the Latin into the Greek one. The group was joined by only a few local Russians, who took the position in cathedral kryłos of Przemyśl. Many popes received parishes under the condition of their accession to the Union. The information about the Uniate priests cannot be treated as a closed list. The list will be developed in a result of further archival queries.
