journeymen were required to look for presents for their fellow journeymen in the Confraternity.28 A workday lasted for twelve hours, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the winter, and from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the summer.29 Work was usually conducted in natural light. Artificial light was used in the period between St. Michael's Day (September 29) and the last days of March.30 Journeymen were not allowed to perform other work than that assigned by the master.31 They were hired for a period of four weeks.32 Journeymen were not allowed to leave their workplace, unless they were looking for work for a newly arrived journeyman.33 They were required to sleep at the shelter or at the master to whom they were appointed;34 sleeping at strangers or in rough neighborhoods was punished with four weeks of work.35 The Confraternity also regulated the behavior of journeymen and took care of their clothing. Those who did not obey the rules were fined. The Confraternity did not tolerate any kind of favoritism, because everybody was equal in front of its rules and the laws of the guild. Discipline was strict and control severe. Journeymen were not allowed to have an uncivilized conduct in public areas or seek the companionship of people who do not enjoy a good reputation within the local community, or else they were fined with two weeks of work.36 Their behavior should not compromise in any way the image of the guild within or without the institution and the town. Nobody was allowed to have an uncivilized conduct, swear, and drink excessively.37 Unruly behavior in the society and the frequenting of rough neighborhoods lead to the tarnishing of one's self-image as well as the image of the Confraternity and, more seriously, that of the guild itself. Those who tarnished the image of the guild in this way were severely punished. Insults, libels, threats, brawls, and injuries were also severely reprimanded, the same 28 Copia der Hermannstädter Sattlerzunft Articul, Article 21, sheet 115; Articul einer..., Article 6, sheet 3-3/v. 29 Copia der Hermannstädter Sattlerzunft Articul, Article 24, sheet 115/v-116; Articul einer..., Article 10, sheet 4/v-5. 30 Copia der Hermannstädter Sattlerzunft Articul, Article 24, sheet 115/v-116; Articul einer..., Article 10, sheet 4/V-5. 31 Articul einer..., Article 10, sheet 4/v-5. 32 Copia der Hermannstädter Sattlerzunft Articul, Articolele 21 §i 23, filele 115 §i 115/v; Articul einer..., Articolele 6 §i 8, sheets 3-3/v and 4-4/v. 33 Articul einer..., Article 9, sheet 4/v. 34 Copia der Hermannstädter Sattlerzunft Articul, Article 24, sheet 115/v-116; Articul einer..., Article 9, sheet 4/v. 35 Articul einer..., Article 9 sheet 4/v. 36 Articul einer..., Article 8, sheet 4-4/v. 37 Ibidem. _Etnografie______ 105
