(Czech title: Komunikacní síte jako prostredek k utvarení spolecné identity. Príspevek k formování zemskeho vedomi v pozdnestredovekem Slezsku). The author is underlining in his study that a steady network of various connections existed in late medieval Silesia with the centre in Wroclaw (Breslau). Joining the network was followed by political implications and in the same time integration of Silesian dukes and local communities with the land of Silesia. New identifying factors were: common political actions and defense of the country against external dangers what strengthened feeling of being the part of the Silesian political community. These new factors either strengthened or neglected older factors as i.e. Silesian dukes' common ancestry of Piast dynasty. Particular elements of Silesian network of connections had different duties to do. Wroclaw in the middle of 15th century kept a common chancery and was sending letters. A network of Wroclaw messengers developed in 1460s. During the struggle for Bohemian Crown Wroclaw supported Matthias Corvinus, therefore connection with his court was quite frequent. Generally Wroclaw was a main source of information for other Silesian duchies. Another element of the network was Swidnica (Schwiednitz). Its representative was in Wroclaw in order to inform the authorities of Swidnica about the negotiations with Matthias Corvinus. In return Swidnica informed Wroclaw about the situation in Bohemia.

The systematic reading of Wrocław's books of aldermen (libri scabinorum) has revealed a surprising diversity and tendency for change in the nomenclature pertaining to the same, marginal area of the city. The terms Baiern, Kunzenstadt and the least used Judengasse, used concurrently (although it is unclear whether their meaning was the same) were replaced in the 70s of the 14th century (ten years after Jews left the town) by Neugasse, which was quickly changed to Neugerbergasse. The term Judengasse was again used at the end of the 14th century, becoming more common at the beginning of the 15th century, undoubtedly due to return of the Jews to the city, what is striking is that we have no data from this period about the locations of their living quarters. In its original context Juden-/Neu-/Neugerbergasse consisted of the length of two streets, comprising the shape of the letter „L”, those being the current Uniwersytecka and Więzienna streets (the historiographical reference to Garbary street is apparently an error). It is there, between the Szewska and Kotlarska streets and by the intersecting section of Kuźnicza that Christians and Jews lived together. Only at the end of the 14th century the term Neugerbergasse, which in the 15th finally became Judengasse, was contracted to one street, the current Uniwersytecka street.

The article relates back to the issue of memory of Henry IV Probus, duke of Wrocław, in context of political actions taken in the 14th century, with main focus on artistic vessels of memory, shown here in wider than until now historical context. The first of these relics is the sepulchral monument of the duke. Largely ignored in the study of the monument manuscript IV F 193 of University Library in Wrocław contains an important argument for the change in dating of the gravestone, as proposed by Romuald Kaczmarek. Said source allows to establish the year 1328 as terminus post quem. Hitherto unnoticed during research in recent years coats of arms located on the foundational tympanum in the St. Cross collegiate church reinforce the certainty that they show the act of founding executed by Henry IV Probus and his wife. The third relic is the keystone of the so-called chapter house, presumably created during the Beer War. Its significance – contained mostly in the heraldry meaning – relates mostly to the issue of rights of succession for the new sovereign of Silesia, king of the Romans and king of Bohemia Wenceslaus IV, his rights to succeed Henry IV Probus. It presumably contained more than Wrocław with its duchy, with boarders as it had in the 15th century, but also such lands as belonged to Probus before 1290, later constituting a part of the duchies of Świdnica and of Ziębice. Such interpretation of actions taken by the king, doubtless meant to legitimise his grip on Silesian holdings, are indirectly confirmed by the chronicles from the period. Such is also the interpretation of later, early modern historiography that came to be on the territory of the Kingdom of Bohemia.

High level dynamics of real estate market as well as possession of many estates by relatively few people make it impossible to currently analyse which property was owned by Jews, with only few exceptions. Such property as was bought or sold prior to 1361 (afterwards Jewish property did not appear in books of aldermen (libri scabinorum) would not be as high as the number of houses inhabited by Jews, making estimation of population of “Jewish street” very uncertain. Among distinct features of Jewish property was a high amount of low-class housing, designated gebude. The issue of their possession was distinct from possession of land on which such a house was situated. The article indicates as well the impossibility of correctly identifying mentioned in sources synagogues and grounded in historiography significant misunderstandings regarding this issue.
