The article presents one of the sources for the study of the history of Jews on pre-1795 Poland, namely the city books of the court and jury, using the example of preserved volumes coming from the archives of the private town of Zólkiew (now Zhovkva in Ukraine) from the 17th and 18th centuries, the bulk of which have been deposited in the Library of the Ivan Franko Institute in Lviv. These materials constitute an invaluable treasury of knowledge about the organization of the Jewish community, members of its board and its activity and the real estate held by it (including the synagogue, cemetery or hospital). They also contain information concerning onomastics, Jewish trades and guilds, taxes paid and debts incurred by Jews, customs and Christian-Jewish relations. However, when using this source one should remember that next to various benefits, one can come across certain risks inherent in its specific nature, which makes it indispensable to subject such content to scientific scrutiny.

There is no need to prove the significant role played by legends, myths and stereotypes in the history of the world. Also in the Polish lands, we can find many stories connected with the history of the Jews. There is still no comprehensive study on legends concerning Jews in mediaeval Poland, but we already have the book by Haya Bar-Itzhak, a professor of Comparative Hebrew Literature at the Haifa University. An exception here may be the well-known legend about the love affair between King Kazimierz Wielki (Casimir the Great) and the Jewish girl Esther, which has been widely described in many works. Of special importance is the book written by the eminent literary historian and linguist, Chone Shmeruk, entitled 'Legenda o Esterce w literaturze jidysz i polskiej' (The Legend of Esther in Yiddish and Polish Literature).
