„…az udvarbíróra és szolgáira való költség miatt minekünk el kell pusztulnunk” – Váradi Péter deák és a zalatnai uradalom
Scribe Péter Váradi and the Estate of Zlatna

Summary/Abstract: The mining domain of Zalatna formed during the reign of György Rákóczi, and it was in existence in this form until 1848. Péter Váradi took part in the organization of this domain, but this reorganization violated the jurisdiction of the mining leader (Heinrich Lisbona). It was possible that he tried to remove the chief of the mining domain, Lisbona, and this way wanted to regain his former influence. His ambitions were not a complete success, because Péter Váradi could stay at his workplace. The villages of mining domain Zalatna had different phylogenies, but because of geographical nearness, they were in close relationship with each other. This domain consisted of three parts; the middle part was the most developed, because here the most important branch was the gold mining. In spite of its mining activity, the town of Zalatna over the socage didn’t have to do a special mining work. The new mining domain could be directed easily, but the head of the domain had to do a very hard work.
