Nők Debrecen magisztrátusi jegyzőkönyveiben (1697–1705)

Abstract

In my study, I examine the representation of girls and women in the magistrate reports of Debrecen between 1697 and 1705. These are very exciting resources, which allow a glimpse into the contemporary everyday life of Debrecen. First, I present women's role in various lawsuits, for instance, what they were accused of in most cases, or what they litigated for. Next, I summarize how we can can meet them as a merchant, a customer of bookings, or in some other form, in the entries relating to property sales. Finally, I present some examples on how these appear in particular council and guild provisions.
