Abstract
The aim of the presented study is the analysis of the oldest cartulary of Świdnica from the 14th century. It is a written source, which the existing summaries have not considered sufficiently, even though it represents a significant evidence of the town office authority and activities in the Late Middle Ages.
Furthermore, it also includes transcriptions of many documents that have not been studied yet. Within the study I proceed from palaeographic analysis to the content analysis and arrangement of the individual documents, the relation of the cartulary to the documents stored in the town archive and also the attention it was paid in the Late Middle Ages.
