Summary:In this volume, Maciej Mikuła analyses the extant texts of the Ius municipale Magdeburgense , the most important collection of Magdeburg Law in late medieval Poland. He discusses the different translation traditions of the collection; the application of Magdeburg Law in cities; how differences between the versions could affect the application of the rights; and how the invention of printing influenced the principle of legal certainty.
