The Chancellor’s Two Bodies? The “Real” and the “Virtual” Career of Kaspar Schlick under King and Emperor Sigismund – Epilogue to an Old Research Topic II: The present article is part two of a three-piece study on the remarkable career and the social advancement of Kaspar Schlick (c. 1400-1449) who subsequently served as an imperial chancellor to the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, Sigismund, Albrecht II and Frederick III. Whereas part one, published in MHB 15/2, 2012, was dedicated to the actual career of the chancellor, the following article focuses on a painstaking diplomatic and paleographic analysis of the complex stock of falsifications kept in the Schlick family archive in Zámrsk.

The present article is part one of a three-piece study on the remarkable career and the social advancement of Kaspar Schlick (c. 1400–1449) who subsequently served as an imperial chancellor to the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, Sigismund, Albrecht II and Frederick III. The authors aim at a comprehensive juxtaposition of Schlick’s “real” curriculum vitae as suggested by the evidence of genuine contemporary sources with the outlines of a merely “virtual” process of climbing in official functions and social status designed and expressed by Schlick himself in a chain of diplomatic forgeries.

The Chancellor’s Two Bodies? The „Real“ and the „Virtual“ Career of Kaspar Schlick under King and Emperor Sigismund – Epilogue to an Old Research Topic III: The present article concludes a three-piece study on the remarkable career and the social advancement of Kaspar Schlick (c. 1400–1449) who subsequently served as an imperial chancellor to the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, Sigismund, Albrecht II and Frederick III. Part one, published in MHB 15/2, 2012, was dedicated to the actual career of the chancellor starting from the diffuse origins of the family and the early stages of Schlick’s service in the imperial chancery, proceeding to his promotion to the leading function of the chancellor and his vital influence on diplomacy and politics during the reign of Emperor Sigismund and ending with a sketch of Kaspar’s position under Albrecht II and Frederick III. Part two focussed on a painstaking diplomatic and paleographic analysis of the complex stock of falsifications kept in the Schlick family archive in Zámrsk. The present article tries to shed light on the way how the forgeries were used by Schlick and his heirs. The study is completed by an edition of 21 documents from the Schlick family archive.

The discussion article provides an analysis of a book recently published by Wojciech Krawczuk entitled Records and Regesta of the German Expedition of the Royal Swedish Chancery of King Sigismund III of the Years 1597–1600. The book contains a source edition of the minutes of the royal chancery of Sigismund III Vasa, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania (1587–1632), and King of Sweden (he retained power in 1592–1599), written around 1600, which has been supplemented by extensive regesta prepared by the editor. This discussion article evaluates this form of providing access to the contents of primary sources against the background of similar source editions consisting of records created by other royal chanceries, namely the chancery of the Kingdom of Poland, the chancery of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the chancery of the dukes of Mazovia. It is noteworthy that increasingly more archival materials are made available online through the websites of various archives and other institutions that preserve historical documents. In view of the growing trend to digitalize primary sources and make them available online, the idea of publishing complete source editions including full source texts, which began at the beginning of the twentieth century, seems unjustified nowadays. Currently, the solution proposed by Wojciech Krawczuk, based on the publication of regesta, appears to be the most favourable. Perhaps it would be appropriate to link the published regesta even more closely to the digitized archival materials by providing each one of them with a link or QR code that would refer to the website hosting the relevant digitalized source. The content of the documents included in the reviewed book differs significantly from the content of the records created by the chanceries of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Swedish documents are dominated by current affairs, primarily concerning military and diplomatic issues, and include much fewer normative acts, such as appointments to offices and bestowals of landed property.
