Hiteleshelyek, királyi emberek, ügyvédek Lőcse és Poprád városok birtokvitája a 15. század végén

Absztrakt

The study shows how a major land dispute was settled in the late 15th century. A rare case file showing how the complainant prepared for a court hearing has been preserved in the Levoča town archives. The document is a draft of a lawyer’s petition, which was reviewed by the Spiš Chapter before submission. In the archives of Levoča, there is also a letter sent by the city council to its lawyer, asking for information about the negotiations. The texts of the two rare sources are in the Appendix.
