Soukeníci a Židé. Dva příklady nekalé soutěže v Čechách v druhé polovině 17. století
Drapers and Jews: Two Examples of Unfair Competition in the Second Half of the 17th Century

Summary/Abstract: The many cases dealt with by the officials of the Bohemian Chamber and vicegerency in the second half of the 17th century exposed two attempts to falsify Liberec cloth quality brands. In the first case Jewish merchants from Prague and Mladá Boleslav were accused, in the second case, the defendant was a burgher from the Old Town of Prague. The documents in the National Archives, the New Manipulation Fonds, enable one to follow the unequal investigative approach of the officials who in the case of the Old Town’s burgher acted faster and more leniently than in the case of the Boleslav and Prague Jews.
