Abstract
Statistical and demographic data are very important in studies on Jewish history in Poland. There are tax documents of 36 kehillas in the Lublin Voievodship dating from 1778 in the Lublin State Archive. It is surprising that the Jews paying taxes in 1778 was 10 793, whereas in 1765 - 20 113. Most tax payers in 1778 was Łuków (in the town three times less than in the surrounding villages), then Lublin, Lubartów, Kraśnik, Radzyń, Kazimierz and Biłgoraj (from 1368 to 418). Kehillas with the lowest number of payers are: Wieniawa, Zbuczyń, Kahnowszczyzna, Rachów, Włostowice, Biskupice, Wysokie and Piaski Lubelskie (from 95 to 42 taxpayers). According to a tax census of 1790, the number of taxpayers in 36 kehillas rosę slightly to 14 365 (without Frampol). List of 1778 fills an important gap in research on Jewish settlement in the Lublin region.
