The Cathedral Chapter of Esztergom in the Fifteenth Century. Und Part The „Chronicle" of the Lawsuit for the Sasad Tithes from 1452 to 1465 The present book is the second volume of the series treating the history of the cathedral chapter of Esztergom in the 15th century. In the first volume, I have analysed, on the basis of five letters of attorney issued in the course of the lawsuit about the Sasad tithes between 1453 and 1460, but extended to the entire 15th century, the personnel of the chapter and the ranking order of prebends, as well as the officeholding, university studies and career possibilitiers of the individual canons.1 The present volume, on the other hand, offers insight into an exceptional aspect of the activity of some of the canons already familiar from the first volume, with the help of a source that is unique in terms of form and content alike. In the course of my inquiry into the history of the Esztergom chapter, I have come across a Latin source,2 which presents the history of the lawsuit about the Sasad tithes, over a little more than a decade, from the perspective of the chapter itself. (The whole text of the booklet-like register or „chronicle" is published in chapter two of the book.) In the middle of the 1430s a lawsuit began between the chapter of Esztergom and the monastery of Pécsvárad in the matter of the title to the tithes of the vines in a vili called Nevegy, which belonged to the jurisdiction of the parish of Sasad (in causa et causis decimarum vinorum predii seu terre Newegh infra limites parochie parochialis ecclesie Sancti Andree de Sasaad Wesprimiensis dyocesis).3 In fact, this was already the second litigation in the same case: the first had begun at the end of the second decade of the fourteenth century and drew on until the late 1350s. It clearly appears from later charters that in the case treated in this book it was the tithe due from the vineyards called Gombárnál and Ujmál, both planted in the vili of Nevegy, which constituted the matter for litigation (super quibusdam decimis fructuum in monte Sasad ac Wymal et GobamallU] locis et signanter in predio Nezvegh et eius territorio),4 which eventually went on until as late as 1840. According to the sources examined, by 1465 the chapter of Esztergom had clearly won the case: not only was its title to the tithe confirmed, but it C.
