Based on a well-preserved written material documenting the division of family property of Wolfgang of Krajk (d.1491) between his sons and heirs, we can ask a number of questions directly or indirectly related to the viability of these texts. Three documents have survived and they reflect three phases during which the Krajk estate was divided. Registers where individual villages were recorded (including their payment and in kind duties), feudal farms and work duties had to be prepared before the first deed was written in March 1487. Wolfgang of Krajk divided his family demesne into three parts by means of this deed. It was possible to study the Krajk demesne registers which survived along with the related deeds not only with regard to the landscape (such as the state of the pond network) and settlement development (development of residential network - many villages were mentioned in the registers of 1487 for the very first time, there were villages which ceased to exist temporarily or permanently, a network of farms and feudal manors and others), but also with regard to formal aspects. The extant sources suggested also other aspects and a broader context - namely the formation of Nova Bystrice as a noble residential town with usual attributes of noble residential towns during the late Middle Ages, and an effort to achieve indivisibility of the family demesne. The appendix contains edited registers (1847), three deeds by means of which Wolfgang of Krajk gradually divided his estate between his sons (1487, 1489, 1490) and the text of a Jan of Selmberk's testimony (1491) given during disputes between members of the Krajir family. The fact that so soon disputes broke out among the brothers and subsequently the family estate was divided, illustrates the traditional contradiction between testator's wish (the three Wolfgang's deeds were in fact tools intended to arrange his own estate) and the actual situation.

The catalogue of reconstruction maps of Bohemian character is designed as a part of a project called 'The Atlas of Czech History' which is being worked on by the Historical Institute within the current research intention 'Czech Historical Space within the European Context. Diversity, Continuity, Integration'. In September 2006 it was suggested to prepare and publish this catalogue, either with an atlas or as an independent volume. The catalogue of reconstruction maps will not include all reconstruction maps from the atlases and will have annotations. The main criterion for including individual maps into the catalogue is their professional value (maps with obsolete contents and those surpassed by later research, derived maps, the ones taken over from other works or re-printed, often simplified, maps published just for information shall not be included in the catalogue). The excerption focused on the period after 1945, however, older maps, if still valuable, shall be registered as well. Map contents will be specified by explanatory comments. The catalogue (index) structure - which needs to be clear and user-friendly - will result from continuous confrontation between the primary rough concept, derived from the general concept of Czech history, and specific materials obtained from excerpts. From the technical point of view, there are two basic approaches available - a text and a database; the possibility of fulltext searching places a text file to the same level as a database from user's point of view, whereas the profit resulting from the possibility to ask more complicated 'multiple-level' questions (as we know them from library and bibliographical databases with dozens or hundreds of thousands of items) seems to be hardly apparent in the given situation. It is assumed that beside a printed issue (with a list of authors, geographical locations and possibly also subject matters), the text - or possibly the database if this form is selected - of the catalogue will also be published in the electronic version, either on the Internet or as a CD-ROM.
