Abstracts

EN

The article is concerned with ecclesiastical administration of Bohemia in 1715. It tackles the issue from a geographical and cartographic perspective. In the introduction, the paper summarizes the condition of available written and map sources from the 18th century, which are related to the ecclesiastic administration and the condition of the settlements. This is followed by a brief chapter on the current state of research on the historical borders. The main section is dedicated to procedures used in reconstruction of spatial data on ecclesiastical administration in the Litoměřice diocese and part of the Prague Archdiocese. The essential instruments for obtaining the historical condition of the parish borders included tools of geographical information systems and spatial databases. The subsequent cartographic section describes the cirkevnimapy.cz portal as the main map output of the reconstruction. There are also basic statistic data on vicariates of the involved dioceses.
