In the period reviewed in the article Tyszowce was a royal town situated in Belz voivodship. The town's convenient location and friendly legislation influenced the settlement of Jews at the locality already in the early 16th century. The first record of Jewish settlers dates back to 1528. From that moment, the number of members of this group steadily increased, with only brief exceptions. In the 16th and 17th century, the Jews accounted for between 16 and 49% of the town's population. Information about Tyszowce's Jewish community and its officials is fragmentary. The oldest mention about the synagogue in Tyszowce dates back to 1668. We can learn about the Jewish school from the register of damage caused to it by fire in 1645, about a hospital from an entry from 1762 and a mention of a bath was made three years later. Tyszowce Jews engaged in crafts, commerce and lease of mills, breweries, distilleries, wax shops, city taxes, duties, etc. Many of them operated in the food processing sector, as butchers, bakers, meadmakers or distillers. In addition to them there were tailors, hatmakers, fullers, a cordovan maker, furriers, wax collectors, pine tar makers and joiners. Barbers, teachers and musicians represented the service crafts. The sources demonstrate that the Jewish population was an active component of the Tyszowce community and made an everlasting contribution to the town's history.

Ozarów was founded in 1569 roku as Józef Ozarowski's private town surrounded by forests. Already in the early days of its existence, Jews were settling in the town, their number growing with every passing decade. In the mid-19th century they already accounted for 67% of all inhabitants. Throughout the period in question the Jews displayed significant economic activity, in the 17th and 18th centuries they organized long-distance and local commerce, engaged in usury, rented mills, took leases of alcohol distilling and sale rights, took over real property from Catholics for unrepaid loans. Like in other towns, Ozarów had a division of farming and crafts activities into those practiced by Catholics and those done by the Jews. The areas wholly dominated by the Jews in the 19th century included commerce, clothing and accessories (tailoring, hat-making, fur-making), leather (tanning), with regard to food it was bakery and slaughterhouses, and also cabinetmaking. The areas of production where Catholics were active next to Jews included the production and sales of vodka, grain milling, carpentry, production of parquet flooring blocks and wooden roofing tiles, coopery and pottery. On the other hand, no Ozarów Jews engaged in such trades as smithery, locksmithery, sawmills, saddlery, or wheelwrights, nor did they engage in farming. Due to the Jews' economic activity in the 19th century, Ozarów did not become a typical township of an agricultural nature and it eliminated the neighbouring towns from the local market, but that did not protect it from losing its town charter.

This paper focuses on the history and production of the Adolf Jebavý factory – one of the famous family meat industry companies in Brno in the first half of the 20th Century. From the time of the first owner, Adolf Jebavý (1872-1938), and later his equally significant son, also named Adolf (1903-after 1948?), the company has grown into an important and famous Brno meat products producer and exporter. This company produced mostly canned meat, various kinds of sausages, patés and other foods, with a brand mark “Delica”. These products were also very popular in foreign countries (as well as with the Czech minority overseas). The company had several shops in Brno at the Křenová street, on the Náměstí Svobody square, in Královo Pole, but also in other cities, for example in Luhačovice. This paper is based on extensive company archive funds from the Brno Moravian Land Archives, where we can find information about company production, sales management, export and other important facts about this producer, such as private correspondence, war damages evidence and also evidence on the occasion of the political and administrative changes in the government in 1948. The topic was also put into larger context, as this study also briefly focuses on the history of butchers as well as on the history of companies and production in the first half of the 20th century in Czech lands.

The study deals with the former market place in the city of Košice (former Kingdom of Hungary, now Slovakia), that has completely disappeared. The author presents the state of knowledge, archival sources and archaeological research in the introductory part of the text. Then he discusses the topography of the square and the role of the town hall there (no longer existing, too). Having analysed the written reports and compared Košice with foreign towns, especially Polish ones, the author subsequently identifies and locates, sometimes just tentatively, various stalls that stood on the market square between the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 17th century. A special chapter is aimed on the location of the butcher’s stalls situated on the nearby street. Finally, a brief consideration is given to the share of income from the stalls in the town’s budget, followed by a conclusion.

This contribution presents a comparison of the results of research up to present time of Silesian-Czech relations, or the levels of communication between both land metropolises, Prague and Wroclaw, in the Early Modern Age, based on the opportunities for study of archival material in the Wroclaw State Archives and the Municipal Archives of Prague. It throws light upon the structure of preserved archival material which can be used for the given purpose; methods of their evaluation, and the perspectives for future research. In its conclusion there is a foray into several groups of resources from the fields of trade, crafts, religion, and the migration of inhabitants, which confirms the limited contacts between the two cities in the Early Modern Age, also mentioned in literature and Shifts in these contacts only occurred in connection with changes of political development.
