This article describes the city school and education in Bardejov in the middle ages. The development of school and education in Bardejov was strongly connected to the local church. Despite the city’s governance under the school, the education remained religious and teachers associated with ecclesiastical authorities. As the author points out, relation between schoolmaster and parish priest was not always respectable. The article explores educational level, social background and geographical origin of the individual lectors. It focuses on the duties of students, especially within the liturgical life of the parish church. The role of the city and its contribution to the school is described on payments from the town account books.

Besides its main tasks – judiciary and executive, the town administration fulfilled a variety of functions ranging from economic production through defence and protection of its citizens, to the development of culture and education. This required oversight and stewardship by municipal dignitaries and extensive system of urban employees. The paper deals with the management of urban employees and town dignitaries responsible for major sectors of town economy, security, health care, culture and other areas of urban living. The author analyses the position of urban employees and contracts made by town. The management of urban facilities belonged to the main duties of the elected members of the municipal court. Economic facilities (mills, granary), supervision of wine trade, linen weaving or patronage of hospitals represented the main areas of their functions. An important place among municipal employees belonged to servants in judiciary, diplomacy and urban defence. The specific field, financed by the town council, represented the area of art and culture, where painters, masons, organists and trumpeters were employed.

In this paper, I focus on the channels of communication between the free royal towns of Šariš and the county authority at the beginning of the 16th century. In this period, the towns of Bardejov and Prešov became feudal landowners in the county and, as a result, they had to develop a close relationship with the county nobility. Alongside the official documents of the county authority, the noble judges also often wrote letters to the towns, in which they often mixed official and private matters. There were also verbal lines of communication; the noble community of Šariš County frequently sent emissaries to the town, and these elected envoys were often chosen from the former or acting noble judges who lived in the villages neighbouring the towns. This had the added advantage, for the towns, that they could draw upon the legal experience of these former officeholders. Both Bardejov and Prešov employed former noble judges as town lawyers.

The book printing in Slovakia did not start to noticeably flourish until the 16th century. The historical lyceum library in Kežmarok maintains Slovakia-related works from that period of time that were produced mainly by two printing workshops in Bardejov. They are mostly theological prints the contents of which deal with worshipping of church paintings, which many priests wanted to have removed. The Slovak nature of the sources is, besides the place of publication (the territory of present-day Slovakia), assessed according to other three criteria, i.e. author, content and language. However, the four points of view mentioned above often overlap. The largest part of Slovakia-related prints in Kežmarok lyceum library is made up of documents linked to Slovakia in terms of content. They are various monographs, occasional poems, speeches, sermons et cetera. On the contrary, the smallest group is formed by documents related to Slovak language, as German language books dominate over those written in Latin or Hungarian, which is only natural because the library was located in then German environment. Slovak books appeared there sporadically, most of the time for the purpose of ministry among the Slovak population. The copies preserved to date are also interesting with regard to their owners: the books were donated to the library by professors and students as well as by many notable aristocratic families.

This study deals with communications between the town of Bardejov and bishops of Eger in the Middle Ages. The author examines how the ecclesiastical power and authority of the bishops was demonstrated in their communications with the free royal town of Bardejov. The bishops’ power toward medieval towns in the Kingdom of Hungary was primarily manifested in the collection of tithes and exemptions granted in the rights of archdeacons. In the case of Bardejov, there can be found some areas where the power of bishops of Eger (frequently represented by episcopal vicars) was demonstrated. First of all, the episcopal tithe collection caused permanent disputes between the parish priest, town representatives and the bishop. The author describes how the problems were solved and the machinery of episcopal powers in these cases. Another area of communication and the manifestation of episcopal authority was that of judicial cases between burghers, which were occasionally brought before ecclesiastical court contrary to town law. A greatly significant manifestation of episcopal power in the area of the town was that of ecclesiastical rituals and symbolic communication. The study mentions various examples of episcopal presence in the consecration of churches, chapels, altars and liturgical dress.

This study deals with a royal charter of 1247 issued by Béla IV due to a dispute of the Cistercians of Bardejov with Germans over their border. The original is not extant, only its transcription of 1500 is available. In Slovak historiography, the charter was considered to be a forged or interpolated one, or even a late forgery. Although this opinion prevailed among the historians for a long time, the criticism of its authenticity was based on unsupported and unconvincing arguments. An in-depth diplomatic and historical analysis of the charter, however, does not confirm the aforementioned presumption since it does not exhibit any serious deviations in form or content from the other Árpádian charters of the thirteenth century. The Bardejov Charter is a typical example of a medieval source in whose research the conclusions of earlier historiography completely pushed the newer attempts at the further diplomatic analysis of the document into the background for a long time.

The study is concerned with the interpretative possibilities provided by oaths in the context of Early Modern society in the Kingdom of Hungary. Using the example of texts of oaths from the end of the 17th century and first half of the 18th century from the royal borough of Bardejov, it analyses the changes occurring in the environment of the burghers or holders of burgher rights and their political elites. Attention is devoted to the development of relationships between the centre, endeavouring to increase uniformity and incorporate the town into the structures serving the aim of establishing state power in the modern sense of the word, and the town community, which strove to maintain its particular rights. Confessional differences also played an important role in the process. The cultural and social roles of the languages in which the oath texts are recorded, are also interpreted.

The medieval towns of Bardejov, Prešov, Sabinov and Veľký Šariš, which were situated in the northeast of the former Kingdom of Hungary (Šariš County) and which acquired their fundamental privileges in 1299 and 1320, have been given considerable attention in historiography to date. Nevertheless, a serious diversity of opinions still persists, accompanied by inconsistent terminology for some essential issues, particularly with regards to the extent of jurisdictional rights and the urban status of these settlements in the first century after the granting of their privileges. The aim of this study is, therefore, to arrive at clearer conclusions on the question of when the four towns were endowed with full judicial autonomy (i.e. an upper judiciary) and how to classify them at all in the fourteenth century.
