Litwa i Litwini w księgach rachunkowych średniowiecznego Krakowa (czasy Jagiełły i Witolda)
Lithuania and Lithuanians in the Account Books of Mediaeval Krakow (The Times of Jagiello and Vitoldus)

Summary/Abstract: In the research to date touching upon the relations of Krakow with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, owing to the number of the preserved source material, the role the revived University of Krakow undertook in shaping the elite of the Lithuanian Church was strongly emphasised. Nevertheless, it need not escape our attention that the relations of mediaeval Krakow with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were not restricted solely to the issues concerning the presence of the Lithuanians in the University. Although the preserved outside‑university sources are wholly insufficient, a few intriguing issues, referring to the activity of the town council of Krakow at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, as well as the domestic history of the Grand Duchy in that crucial period may be indicated on their basis. In the article herein all the known sources from the Krakow’s municipal archives regarding the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were compiled and commented on. It enabled to supplement the current state of knowledge on the history of Polish and Lithuanian state in the years of Jagiello and Vitoldus reign.
