A bíráskodás jogforrásai az erdélyi fejedelmi táblán a 16. században
The Sources of Law of the Transylvanian Princely Table in the 16th Century

Summary/Abstract: This study presents the different manuscript or published sources of law that were referred to in the course of litigation in the Transylvanian central court of law, the Royal/Voivodal/Princely Table (Tabula, Curia) and its court of appeal, the court of personal presence in the second half of the 16th century. Based on the analyzed archival sources – mainly the various allegationes made by the lawyers – one can conclude that different sources provided the grounds that were frequently given for the decisions of the court. The data presented shows that besides the Tripartitum, which was mostly referred to, the lawyers used during the litigations the laws of the Hungarian Kingdom, the Decreta of the Transylvanian diets and the Table even judged some cases according to its own custom.
