Abstract

The development of medieval cathedral and collegiate chapters took a long way through the Middle Ages. Their phase of clear distinction from regular canons might roughly be allocated between the Institutio Canonicorum Aquisgranensis (816) and the flourishment of the Premonstratensians in the 12th century. It was mostly thereafter that becoming a secular canon provided a safe and good income and the chance to take influence of the development of the institution one's own canonry belonged to. The papers presented in this session (or session series, depending on how many colleagues wish to participate) wants to illustrate the life and functions of secular canons from the high to the later Middle Ages in territories belonging to Poland today.
