Abstract

[The functioning of the Dominican farm in Uzin near Yezupil at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the light of preserved documents from the Archives of the Polish Dominican Province] One of the conditions for the maintenance of monasteries in the past centuries, especially on the eastern borders of the Republic of Poland, was the possession of land and a well-functioning farm. The income from the farm was used by the monks to maintain the monastery buildings. That was the case of Yezupil (Jezupol), now in Ukraine, where not only the Dominican convent was located but a local farm as well. It was situated a few kilometers from the monastery – in the village of Uzin. This article describes its history and functioning at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Information on the farm in Uzin was compiled on the basis of documents preserved in the Archives of the Polish Dominican Province in Kraków.
