The study aims to research and explain the income and expenditure of the Bratislava City Chamber in the 15th century especially from the financial point of view. The main source material is 79 selected chamber account books (Kammerbuch) kept in the Archives of the City of Bratislava, Capital of Slovakia. The year of origin of the chamber books also limited the researched period, which begins in 1434 the year of the first surviving book and ends in 1528, two years after the Battle of Mohács. The introduction gives an account of the City Chamber and of the chamber books as source materials, while the two main parts analyse the individual items of income and expenditure recorded in the chamber books.
