CHRONOLOGICAL AND TERRITORIAL LOCALIZATION OF NON-EXISTENT PRZEMYSL CHURCHES ON THE LEFT BANK OF THE SAN ON THE BASIS OF WRITTEN, CARTOGRAPHIC AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL MATERIALS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the systematization and analysis of materials related to the mentions and localization of a number of churches in one of the suburbs of Przemysl called Zasanie (Zasiannia). The coordination of archaeological, cartographic and written data made it possible to more accurately determine the location and chronology of the occurrence of some objects that may date back to the Old Rus` time. Based on the chosen method of comparative analysis of written, cartographic and archaeological data, an attempt was made to territorially and chronologically locate the churches of the Eastern Rite of the Zasanie district in Przemyśl, which are mentioned in a number of historical sources. In this context, the problems of the topic are outlined, which is the lack of critical generalization of written and descriptive materials, the lack of traceability of the connection of archaeological material X - XIV centuries with the further nature of the place existence.
 The connection of the archeological layer of the Rurik period at 7 Krasinskego Street with the Church of the Mother of God (Cathedral of the Virgin and the Escape of the Virgin to Egypt) at the beginning of the same street is traced, the exact location of which is shown in the figure. It has been determined that it probably existed under a different dedication (the Nativity of Christ) from the time of the ancient Rus` princes, as archival materials mention the privileges granted to the church in the 14th and 15th centuries. In later publications relating to its dismantling, it is referred to as the Epiphany.
 For the first time, on the basis of a combination of written and cartographic materials, the location of the Church of the Savior (Spas) in the area of Kazanow on Zasanie was localized. The possible presence of a temple here, the tradition of which dates back to ancient times, is confirmed by the presence of cemeteries of the time, which were discovered as a result of archaeological excavations.
 An attempt was made to connect the deaf hints of the existence of the church with the dedication of St. Trinity with archaeological material found on the street. Grunwaldska 107. It is established that the available data are currently insufficient, not only for the exact, but also the approximate chronological and territorial location of the building.
