Summary/Abstract: The study presents scholarly editions of legal-historical sources published in the Czech Republic after 1990. The study of legal history is narrowly connected with the auxiliary sciences of history. This situation particularly concerns the history of the Middle Ages and the early modern period, but modern legal history also has contact points with these auxiliary sciences. Of particular importance is the close connection with diplomatics and codicology. Sources of a diplomatic nature include documents, office books, and files. Sources of a codicological nature include legal artifacts that have survived in manuscripts of a personal character or were issued in incunabula and old prints. They concern legal collections, legal codes, and synodical statutes. The legal-historical artifacts in the article are divided into artifacts of land law, municipal law, mining law and ecclesiastical law. a paper on editions of documents and letters precedes
