Mapy w katolickich schematyzmach zakonnych z Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej

(na przykładzie zbioru Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego Jana Pawła II)

Abstrakt

Among the graphic representations found in the books are maps. One type of print in which they also appear are religious schematisms (directories). Schematisms (lat. schematismus, elenchus, catalogue) are official lists of the clergy of a particular ecclesiastical administration unit (diocese, religious province). Despite the popularity that religious directories gained in the first half of the nineteenth century, it is only from the second to third decade of the twentieth century that we can speak of the maps included in them. In order to show the variety of representations, this article discusses some of the maps from religious schematisms stored in one of the largest collections of this type of prints in Europe, and thus in the world, namely in the University Library of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (BU KUL). The subject of the analysis was cartographic representations, their content, and forms of their production on the example of religious prints from the region of Central and Eastern Europe.
