Autor artykułu szuka odpowiedzi na pytanie o miary, jakie stosowano przy rozmierzaniu miast lokacyjnych na obszarze Polski Środkowej w średniowieczu. Na kilkunastu wybranych przykładach dokonuje analizy ówcześnie stosowanych w Polsce zasad mierniczych, prezentując ich podstawowe właściwości, co w konsekwencji pozwoliło na odnalezienie najbardziej prawdopodobnego modułu mierniczego, jaki zastosowany został w miastach środkowopolskich w omawianym czasie.

The purpose of this study is to find out w hat measures were used to survey the medieval chartered towns in central Poland. The author examined the mensuration systems used in this period in a dozen of towns taken by a way of example. The analysis led to a determination of the most likely module of measurement employed in the Middle Ages in the area in question. It appears that the dimensions of m arket squaes and plots in central Poland and other regions of Poland were similar. Seemingly, the surveyors universally employed the same measures. In numerous towns these medieval elements are still clearly visible. The market squares, likewise in the past, fulfil the key functions and the plots keep their original size. The analysis of the m ensuration of towns in the form er voivodships of Łęczyca and Sieradz proves that they were laid out after the Silesian measurem ent pattern that was employed in this region in the 13th and the 14th century.
