Abstract

Maciej of Grójec was a typical representative of the Krakow clergy. Originating from Mazovia, he studied at the University of Krakow, became a notary and climbed the career ladder in the Krakow Consistory. The reconstruction of his career shows the difficulties faced by researchers: inconsistent or subtitutable use of different dignities in the formulas of documents, deviations from the rules developed in the office. Finally, the canon and the vicar was a relics collector, and probably made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land together with Długosz or was the founder of the reconstruction of one of the chapels of the Krakow Cathedral and the founder of its equipment.
