UDK 929.3 : 312 Stjepan Krivošić: OLD PARISH REGISTERS — SOURCES FOR HISTORICAL DEMOGRAPHY The author discusses the significance of old parish registers as important, but incomplete historical sources, suggesting some ways of coping with their incompleteness. Although church regulations clearly stated which particular data were to be recorded, some registrars did not respect the regulations. As a result, records differ from register to register. It is not only that some data on either baptism, marriage or funeral are missing, but in some cases these ceremonies were not recorded at all. However, the importance of parish registers is not only in the actual data recorded, but in conclusions that can be drawn from them. For example, the decline in number of marriages would imply the period of shortage of food or even famine. Therefore, old registers of marriages present the only true source for the chronology and geography of famine through history, both in our country and in general. To conclude with, parish registers as sources for historical demography are to be studied more thoroughly by our scientists. It should be a team-work with an automatic data-processing.

UDK 930.25 : 912 Moačanin, Fedor: BEITRAG ZUR DATIRUNG DER LANDKARTE DES KOMITATS ZAGREB VON SZEMAN Der Beitrag bezieht sich auf die bisher nicht genauer datierte Landkarte des Komitats Zagreb, die vom Geometer des Komitats Joseph Szeman (1783—1844) ansgearbeitet wurde. Aufgrund von archivalischen Quellen im Archiv Kroatiens in Zagreb ist es dem Autor festzustellen gelungen, dass Szeman an dieser Landkarte 1836—1842 im amtlichen Auftag arbeitete. Seine private Vorarbeiten fqr die Landkarte dauerten etwa zehn Jahre. Aufgrund des Gutachtens einer besonderen Komission, in der auch drei Sachverständige vertreten waren, genehmigte die Komitatsversammlung 1845 Szemans Landkarte für offiziellen Gebrauch und beschloss 1846 ihre Publizierung im Steindruck. Diese Landkarte wurde nach 1846, spätestens 1859, bei Kaiser in Graz publiziert. Arhivski vjesnik, 31/1988. sv. 32, str. 53—58.
