With a critical review of the archival sources the author attempts to enlighten the dynamiks in the
relation of the citizen of Ljubljana towards Church institutions. Because of the extensiveness of the
thematic the contribution is about four significant benefices and two fraternities in the church of St.
Nicholas (after 1461 or in 1462 cathedral) and the curacy in the church of St. Elisabeth in Špital. The
time boundarics are the first mentioning of the dealt institutians at the end of the 14th and in the first
half of the 15th centuries, and the period around the year 1600, when with recatholisation the several
decades long predominance of the protestant citizenry ceased.
