The article deals with the question of using the censuses carried out by the Civilian-Military Order Commission of the Cracow Voivodeship as a source for demographic research exemplified by the Proszowice County. The censuses were conducted in the years 1790–1792 and were not tax character, hence they are commonly considered to be more precise and reliable than the ones conducted earlier. The article presents the specific character of the sources of that kind and the resulting difficulties such as passing over part of the population, terminological complexities, unclear division into households. A lot of attention has been paid to the assessment of the credibility of historical sources, with such indicators as the percentage of the youngest children and old people in the population or the male sex ratio in newborn babies. The analyses of age heaping has been carried out with the use of the of Whipple’s and Myers’ indexes. The conclusions indicate that the censuses – especially in the parts concerning age analysis – turn out to be a problematic sources, yet some of their short comings might be overcome when appropriate statistical methods have been applied. Frequent age heaping is not decisive factors in the credibility of the census; what should be decisive is the analysis of the whole – the amount of the information in the census, diligence and accuracy, and compatibility with other sources, e.g. the Poniatowski census of 1787.

This article includes polemical remarks on the analysis of the current conditions of editing the Old-Polish baptismal certificates, as was presented by Tomisław Giergiel. The author refers his comments mainly to observations concerning scholarly editions, excluding publications in which the contents of certificates were given in a diversified and popularizing form. This results from the definition of editing – and its flexible treatment – by T. Giergiel. The polemic concerns mainly the major motives of the reviewed article. Additionally, the author presents his own research postulates which are worthy of academic discussion, based on personal experiences with the preparation of parish certificates for publishing. The article by T. Giergiel was assessed as important for the development of knowledge on the contemporary editing of church certificates and a good starting point for the future reflection on the methods of publishing them.

Niniejszy artykuł zawiera uwagi polemiczne do analizy stanu współczesnego edytorstwa staropolskich metryk chrztów, przedstawionej przez Tomisława Giergiela. Autor odnosi się w swoich rozważaniach głównie do spostrzeżeń dotyczących edycji naukowych, pomijając wydawnictwa, w których podano treść metryk w urozmaiconej, popularyzatorskiej formie. Wynika to z przyjętej przez T. Giergiela definicji edycji i jej płynnego potraktowania. Polemika dotyczy głównych wątków recenzowanego artykułu. Autor niniejszych rozważań przedstawia ponadto własne postulaty badawcze warte naukowego omówienia, bazując na osobistych doświadczeniach związanych z przygotowaniem metryk parafialnych do druku. Artykuł T. Giergiela został oceniony jako istotny dla rozwoju wiedzy o współczesnym edytorstwie metryk kościelnych i dobry punkt wyjścia do dalszego pogłębiania refleksji w sprawie metod ich wydawania.
