The Rescript detailed the organization of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci, regulating bishop elections and the management of dioceses, parishes, and monasteries.
The Rescript contained detailed regulations on the organization of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci, established in 1708 as an autonomous ecclesiastical province of Eastern Orthodox Christians in the Habsburg monarchy, mainly Serbs and Romanians. After the Illyrian Court Deputation in Vienna was abolished in 1777, the Rescript regulated, on some issues restrictively, procedures for the election of Eastern Orthodox bishops and the management of dioceses, parishes, and monasteries.
