Stanisław Brzyk, a merchant and town councilor from Przemyśl, who died in 1589, was one of the wealthiest townsmen in the second half of the 16th century. After his death an inventory was drawn up, including a list of cloths, valuables, vessels, robes, weaponry and books. The posthumous inventory of Stanisław Brzyk’s movable property published in this article is an excellent source of information on the financial and material position of the residents of Przemyśl. It is also valuable for researchers of the culture of language.

This study deals with names of townsmen of Česká Lípa, which are enrolled in the oldest preserved town book in the years 1461–1722. The interpretation of the names is very difficult. In this town book we can find 1 475 records, out of which 1 312 records deal with granting of towns law. Around 1 378 people are included among townsmen. The precise number of townsmen is not easy to determine. We can find a lot of male names – the most favourite name was Hans – and a lot of female names – the name Anna is most favourite. Surnames were not fixed in the Middle Ages or in the Modern Times. We cannot ascertain the ethnicity of the townsmen. It is impossible, because scribes wrote into the town book at their discretion.
