SUMMARY PÉTER DOMINKOVITS The role of records in the legal life of a market-town, Szombathely, at the beginning of the 17th century During the last third of the 16th century, the value of the role of the privileged market-town of the bishop of Győr, Szombathely, had been raised both in Vas County and in the wider region, and owing to its functional system its position within the structure of settlements started to grow significantly. Due to the Turkish danger, the episcopal demesne nucleus including the market-centre along River Gyöngyös became the operational centre of the Chapter of Vasvár with notarial functions similarly to the stabilization of the county seat function from 1578 onwards. The different levels of written records (e.g. an ecclesiastical body entrusted with notarial functions, the administration of the county seat and the market town together with that of the demesne) established — to use a modem phrase — a market of intellectuals at the beginning of the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century,the market-town of Szombathely possessed a fully developed sytem of written records. The different series of documents (the minutes of the general assembly and the judicature, the books of the vine-growing community, church and sheep-fold accounts) made the notarial work very similar to those of some smaller royal free boroughs. The lecture wishes to describe the role of records in the local legal life on the basis of the survived minutes of lawsuits, confessions and prohibitions, together with those of the divisions of property recorded by the magistrate of Szombathely at the beginning of the 17th century (between 1606 and 1614).
