Abstract

Several inventories of estate were made and thus remained on the Great Plain, in Upper Hungary, and in Transdanubia in different periods of the 18th-20th centuries. In the town of Csongrád, in the middle of the Great Plain, a large number of inventories were made between 1854 and 1860. A detailed inventory of estate about the properties and workshop of János Markseid, tanner of German origin, remained from 1855, when he died at the age 73. An inventory made in 1828 and the tanner's will from 1850 specify the origin and growth of his properties. The article analyses the inventory containing the house, the workshop, objects of the wine-cellar, furniture, and houseware displaying bourgeois features as well. The tools and raw materials of the aluminous and tannic currying included in the inventory illustrate the simultaneous presence of these two ways of currying in the given period of the 19th century. The supplements, extracts from inventories may help in analysing the data. In the person of János Markseid the author can introduce a craftsman who arrived in the town of Csongrád with an amount of capital and became indurate with a second generation through one of his sons who was also a tanner. On the basis of 20th century examples as well, the author can assume that he - and also other wandering craftsmen living in similar circumstances - undertook and played a culture-mediatory role between a countrytown of the Great Plain and several parts of the Carpathian Basin.
