Presbyters Uniwersytet Warszawski

Team:

The project is led by Robert Wiśniewski, who will also prepare, in close collaboration with Stanisław Adamiak, a postdoctoral research, a monograph on the presbyters in the late antique West. The evidence is collected and inputted into the database by Stanisław (Africa, Italy) and two research assistants, Jerzy Szafranowski (Gaul, Britain, Danubian provinces) and Marta Szada (Spain, Italy). Both Marta and Jerzy have also their own doctoral projects. Marta works on the intra-Christian conversion, and Jerzy on the ordained monks.
