The aim of this study is to analyse the contents of the ‘Metryka’ (Register)
of clergy ordained between 1637 and 1643 by Bishop Stanisław Starczewski,
suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Płock. During this period, the bishop conferred the
tonsure and the minor and major orders on 367 individuals, including 244 members of
the diocesan clergy and 123 members of religious orders. The appendix to this article
contains a list of the ordained clergy and the orders they received.
