A Contribution to the Notarial instruments of Materna, a Notary Public

Summary/Abstract: The paper maps out all the notarial instruments of Materna, an imperially authorized notary public and the son of the physician Martin of Kladsko. This cleric of the Prague diocese was one of the six notaries from the county of Kladsko. He wrote six of these specific texts of Medieval diplomacy between 1412 and 1421. The paper studies Materna’s instruments from the palaeographic and the diplomatic perspective. The diplomatic description includes both, the external description of the archived material and its content and an analysis of the document formulas and Materna’s style. The comparison of his entire production was focused on deviations in stereotypical parts of the instruments. The study also describes the notary’s seal. Future research could compare the production of another notary – the “imperialiauctoritate” – from the same period and from Kladsko and another area.
