Abstract

The report deals with the register of houses and inhabitants of Prague Jewish Town originated most likely in the year 1754. The archival document is analysed both from the formal and contentual points of view.

Consequently the chosen street is described more in detail. Acquired data are confront with other information sources (sworn declarations of Prague Jewish families, list of Prague Jews divided by their assets, testaments and survivorship inventories).

The report also suggests possible registration of data into contemporary maps.
