W artykule przybliżono zagadnienie przydatności Metryki Litewskiej do badań nad historią Żydów w Wielkim Księstwie Litewskim. Podstawą wywodów są akta z lat 1632–1764. Analizie poddane zostały księgi wpisów oraz sądowe. W Metryce Litewskiej zachowany jest bogaty zbór przywilejów dla gmin żydowskich w miastach królewskich oraz akta wielu procesów między Żydami a chrześcijanami, prowadzonych przed sądami asesorskimi i relacyjnymi. Materiał ten może być podstawą do badań pozycji prawnej i struktury zawodowej Żydów, a także pól konfliktów z chrześcijanami. The article presents the usefulness of the Lithuanian Metrica for the research on the history of Jews in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The study was based on records spanning the period between 1632 and 1764, and an analysis of the books of entries and court registers was made. There is in the Lithuanian Metrica a rich collection of privilege charters issued for Jewish communities of royal towns together with records of numerous lawsuits between Jewish and Christian people before assessory and relational courts. The material gathered could form a basis for research into the legal situation, occupational structure, and conflicts between Jews and Christians.

The article analyses the religious topography of Słuck (today, Sluck in Belarus). Słuck was an important hub of Orthodoxy and Protestantism in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania; moreover, 38 percent of its population was Jewish. Detailed analysis of legal documents and urban inventories showed that there were areas within the town bounds which were reserved for the Christian communities active there. The spatial balance was upset in the former half of the eighteenth century, with Catholic orders brought into the town. The Jews were the only group that was legally barred from choosing a place to reside. The municipal authorities endeavoured to restrict the Jewish settlement to one street. Members of Jewish financial elite were the only ones to succeed in crossing the legal boundaries and settle down at the ‘Christian’ streets ofSłuck.

The Number of Jews in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the Seventeenth CenturyThe basic sources of this attempt to determine the number of Jews in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the seventeenth century include treasury documents up to now used only on the margins of studies about the demography of the Jews, i.e. predominantly registers of the podymne (hearth) and the pogłówne (poll) taxes and, as auxiliary material, protocols of the sessions of the Lithuanian Waad ( Jewish Sejm). Such sources made it feasible to determine that in 1650 the Grand Duchy was inhabited by about 18 900 Jews, i.e. 0,51% of the total population and 3,5% of the town dwellers. The unsatisfactory state of the preservation of treasury sources from the second half of the seventeenth century means that it is impossible to even propose an approximate number of the Jews. A comparison of fragmentary data makes it feasible to draw conclusions concerning trends of the demographic growth of the Jewish population and to ascertain that in certain regions the impact of losses associated with wars waged in the mid-seventeenth century was still felt in the second half of the seventeenth century. This phenomenon, however, was not identical across the entire state. It should be emphasised that not all the kahals were destroyed to the same degree; moreover, some grew due to increased migration. The demographic growth of the Jewish population was much speedier than that of the Christian population, and demographic losses were eliminated more rapidly. The reasons for this state of affairs include: 1) that fact that the smallest losses during the armed conflicts of the mid-seventeenth century were suffered by areas with the greatest concentrations of the Jewish population, 2) favourable conditions for the economic progress of the Jewish population, and 3) a relatively high birth rate.
