This paper attempts to reconstruct the now lost aide-memoire notes of Hradec Králové chroniclers, who at the end of the 16th and in the first half of the 17th century used the second edition of Veleslavín‘s Historical Calendar (1590) for their notes, recording events of a local nature in particular. In contrast to others which were used by their owners for personal purposes, the Hradec copy of Veleslavín‘s Calendar came into being in 1590 at the order of the Hradec political representatives and was housed at the Hradec town hall until the 19th century. Today we only learn indirectly of its existence from the testimony of Jan Soukup (1867-1933) and an analysis of the preserved Hradec Králové history by Karel Joseph Biener of Bienenberk (1731-1798) and František de Paula Švenda (1741-1822).

Expenditure to maintain the town hall in Kraków from the 16th to 18th century(Summary) The excellently preserved town archives in Kraków, and above all, the sources of finance, enable extensive research to be conducted on the expenditure incurred to maintain Kraków’s town hall. The most important sources are the well preserved records regarding the city’s income and expenditure, which contain a lot of information about the expenses incurred for this purpose. In the 16th and 17th century, expenses to meet the needs of the town’s chancellery, to provide materials for the town hall building and to carry out maintenance works inside the building were noted in the section titled praetorii necessaria. Other expenses “regarding the town hall”, relating in particular to repair and construction works, are significantly dispersed in the accounts. The accounts show that throughout the period under discussion the town authorities employed permanent workers to perform some tasks within the town hall building and paid them weekly wages, while other tasks were performed by artisans and workers employed to complete specific tasks. The expenses that can be identified show that with the gradual impoverishment of the town, maintaining the town hall was an increasing burden on its budget. It could be said that the Kraków town hall building is a specific reflection of the state of the town’s finances. During the 16th century, the building prospered and was enlarged and enhanced, but fell into disrepair during Kraków’s political and economic slump.
