ПОВЕЉА ДЕСПОТА ЂУРЂА БРАНКОВИЋА ЗА ЦЕХ КРОЈАЧА У НАЂБАЊИ
THE CHARTER OF DESPOT ĐURAĐ BRANKOVIĆ TO THE TAILORING GUILD IN NAGYBÁNYA

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a critical edition of the Latin charter of Despot Đurađ Branković, which he issued on 8 May 1432 or, more probably, 1442, in Németi in the Szatmár County in Hungary. By this charter, issued at the request of a representative of the tailoring guild from the town of Nagybánya in the same county, Despot Đurađ forbade all tailors who came to Nagybánya to practice their craft, unless they became citizens of this town and members of the local tailoring guild. The towns of Nagybánya, Szatmár, Németi and Felsőbánya in the Szatmár County were in the possession of Serbian despots from 1411 to 1444/1445, after which they were handed over to John Hunyadi, as a pledge. The charter has been preserved as a copy, made in 1641, based on the original. It has not been known in Serbian historiography up to now.
