Reading notes
Parchment document of irregular shape (a large fragment of parchment was cut out in the lower left corner before or after the document was written; the text avoids the cutout or was partially damaged; heavy darkening and stains on the parchment, wrinkling, text in the middle and lower sections very faded and in places difficult to read). No hanging seal preserved. The catalog card provides the date: October 27, 1762, and the content: confirmation of the statute of the bead-makers' guild of the city of Krakow and an annex with 10 articles against unauthorized craftsmen.
