Abstract

The Prohibition Book (Verbotbuch) of Pozsony offers the possibility of various quantitative analyses. Among the main groups of information, one third of the debts of known amoımts spread from 10 to 50 florins, another third spreading from 100 to 3200 florins. In more than half of the cases the prohibition referred to the whole wealth of the debtor. Further important "target groups” were the real estates and the inheritanoes, whereas 18% are represented by the prohibitions involving cash. Under the heading of "circumstances of prohibition” one fınds important additional information. One third of them report on the business concerning money and real estates. References to contemporary legal customs and written statements allow insight into the practical part of trade. As regards the activity of the persons Concerned, alongside the traders we find a good number of intellectuals and craftsmen alike. The former generally make prohibitions Concerning greater values, whereas in the case of craftsmen their activity can be reconstructed more exactly. In Austria the two axes of Hainburg - Marchegg - Schweinbart and Steyr - Salzburg seem important alongside Vienna. From Moravia Iglau can be mentioned, as well as Prossnitz and Olmütz in the direction of Silesia. The information of the Prohibition Book, according to which 53 demands arrived from Silesia, is in accordance with the customs registers of 1542. From the region of Southern Germany Nurenberg is represented with 51 prohibitions, followed by Augsburg with 47. Besides them, Ulm and Sankt Gallen should be mentioned. The analyses proved that it is not necessarily within the traditional division among regions that the network of relationships should be presented. The examination of Origins highlighted rather itineraries stretching over the regions, especially in the case of the Austrian and Moravian territories and of Silesia. These lines of focal points correspond to Contemporary trading routes. In the future the archives of those towns whence prohibitions arrived to Pozsony should also be exarnined.
