MEDIEVAL LAW BOOK OF THE TOWN OF SELMECBÁNYA (Codex of the Municipal and Mining Law of Selmecbánya), Hungarian/German facsimile edition

Codex des Stadt- und Bergrechts von Schemnitz

Publisher: Montan-Press Kft.,  Budapest, 2009

The Selmecbánya law book, the oldest among Hungarian municipal law books, was first formulated in the 13th century on the basis of the town’s privilege donated by King Béla IV. Although the original manuscript of the law book was destroyed, two versions of a later copy survived and are now kept in the Hungarian National Museum.

This book presents the version of the law book prepared during the first years of the 16th century in its original form with its Old German text and its Hungarian translation. There are two major parts to the book: the first contains the public and criminal law regulations of the town’s civil law, whereas the second part summarizes the provisions of the town’s mining law. Most of the provisions originate from the time of King Béla IV or even from earlier periods, but the law book also contains provisions which were only later attached to the old common law.

This book speciality with its elegant purple cloth binding, gilded inscriptions and protecting foil cover offers outstanding aesthetical value to the reader. The facsimile edition of the codex may serve as a unique and exclusive gift to individual or company buyers alike.
