TO THE QUESTION OF ONE OF THE TITLES OF HALYCH IN THE 14TH CENTURY

Abstract

This research emphasizes the study of one of the most outstanding Latin names of Halych in the XIVth century. In the register of provinces and vicariates of the Order of Friars Minor, where a vicariate of Rus appears for the first time, a missionary center of Franciscans in Halych is mentioned. Author(s) of this source have recorded a quite original Latin transcription of the capital of the Halych land as Galciff/Galaf. In our opinion, such name of Halych reflects one of its eastern variants, perhaps of Karaite or Armenian origin.
