Abstract
The article is situated in the current studies on the history and monastic culture in Poland in modern times. Its content consists of synthetic biographies of the provosts of the Lateran Canons Regular prebend in Sucha Beskidzka, who ruled in the years 1658–1709. The provosts were witnesses but above all co-creators of the history of the monastery, which played a significant religious, social and cultural role in the region. Above all, however, it was an important part of the town’s infrastructure, a symbol in its landscape, a shrine to which the faithful from the whole area made pilgrimages during the indulgenced feast, and a place of learning and teaching. Therefore, the biographies of its superiors, despite their encyclopaedic character, will undoubtedly be useful to researchers interested in the problems of monasticism in Poland, but also, and perhaps above all, to those researching the past of the town, the parish and the complex of monastic buildings.
