The Synod of Zamość, which took place in 1720, was a breakthrough event in the history of the Greek Catholic Church and in the history of Poland, Ukraine and Belarus. Its statutes cover a wide range of issues, from doctrine and organization to administration, law and liturgy. The new Polish translation, together with expert commentary, allows for a deep understanding of this key historical moment.

This publication is not only a source of knowledge, but also an invitation to dialogue and reflection on the common past of the nations of Central and Eastern Europe. Thanks to the parallel placement of the Latin and Polish texts, the reader has the opportunity to directly compare and analyze.

We hope that this unique publication will contribute to the development of further research, discussion and exchange of views, enabling an objective assessment of the work of the Synod after three hundred years. May it also become an incentive for fruitful dialogue between various scientific disciplines and rapprochement of nations that once formed a common home - the multinational Republic.
