Private towns in the urban network of Greater Poland in the 15th–16th century

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present the importance of private towns in the urban network of Kaliskie Voivodeship and Poznańskie Voivodeship in the 15th and the 16th century. In the analysis of the situation in the 15th century, the urban centres are divided into four categories on the basis of quantitative and qualitative criteria. The analysis of the situation towards the end of the 16th century is based on the calculations of J. Wiesiołowski, expanded by the application of a wider selection of source materials. The results obtained on the basis of these two methodologies are juxtaposed for their mutual verification and in order to indicate changes in the 16th-century urban network. The deliberations are concluded with the analysis of the network and the dynamics of the foundation process through the prism of the classification performed in the paper.
