Dwadzieścia lat później. Datacja „urbarza cieszyńskiego z 1621 r.”
Twenty years later. The dating of the ‘Cieszyn Urbarium of 1621’

Summary/Abstract: The urbarium of the ducal estate of Cieszyn (Teschen), known in the literature as the ‘Cieszyn Urbarium of 1621’, has not survived in the original but only in a copy from 1653. The urbarium records a certain Adam Matloch, who purchased land in Marklowice in 1644, which provokes the question of whether the data in the urbarium reflect the state of 1621. A detailed analysis reveals the complexity of the information of this urbarium and suggests the method of preparing the copies of this type of source – with updates taken into account and deleted fragments omitted. It turns out that, contrary to its common name, the urbarium is a compilation of entries from 1621 to 1643, with the majority of entries reflecting the state of affairs from c. 1640.
