‘De mandato dominorum divisorum … ’: Finances in the Life of Prague’s Metropolitan Chapter

Chapter 15 in Money and Finance in Central Europe during the Later Middle Ages, 2016, pp 247-263 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Prague’s Metropolitan Chapter is usually mentioned in relation to some of its more important features, St Vitus Cathedral or the treasure kept there (Hledíková, 1997; Maříková, 2011a). The above-mentioned features of the Chapter have also another, lesser-known aspect — that is the material provision for the Chapter as a whole and for its individual members (Pátrová, 1997; 2006; 2008; 2011), without which this institution could hardly have fulfilled its liturgical duties according to the so-called Aachen regula (Institutio, 1906) establishing the rules regulating the life of the Chapter clergy. This commonplace, thus-far ignored, aspect is reflected in its accounting registers, which are subject of this article.
