The Town Law of the Kingdom of Bohemia from 1579 as a signitificant stabilising element of urban order in early modern Bohemia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study examines not only on the circumstances under which the code of the Town Law was created and on its reception in urban society, but also the situation in the royal towns before the adoption of the Town Law, when the spread of a uniform standard of legal system facilitated the communication between towns. As an example, in connection with the legal practice of the time, the royal town of České Budějovice, traditionally one of the largest towns in Bohemia are examined.Town Law of the Kingdom of Bohemia is an important work of Czech legal history that reflects the erudition of its creators, especially Pavel Kristián of Koldín. In the second half of the 16th century, the code unified town law in Bohemia (with an overlap until 1610) and created the basic framework of the municipal order, relics of which remained in urban society until the beginning of the 19th century – until the publication of the General Civil Code (1811). Since the body of legal provisions significantly covered individual areas of urban life, quality research on early modern urban society in Bohemia is unimaginable without a good knowledge of the code. Therefore, the application of the normative-comparative method appears to be the way forward. In this way, we can follow the theory of Town Law and its implementation in practice, including the aim of researching notional boundaries in urban society. To understand the functioning of the municipal code, it is necessary to consider the wording of municipal ordinances, town regulations, official instructions or oaths and their observance, if the source base allows it. To maximise the extraction of surviving sources of judicial provenance from the period before 1579, knowledge of the development of town law and its individual branches is of course also necessary. At the same time, the application of modern diplomatic methods to surviving sources of official provenance has an irreplaceable role, since a complex and contextual analysis can bring surprising information even from solitary surviving official material. This too is one of the currently implemented methodological trends in Czech urban history.
