Abstract

This study examines urban migration based on an analysis of the registers of citizenship in the late medieval town of Bardejov. While these records provide valuable insights, they also present several limitations. The author examines the conditions for acquiring citizenship, the place of origin, and the occupations of the individuals listed in the registers. In addition, the study focuses on the migration of scholars and traces the careers of newcomers who became town notaries in Bardejov.
