Two Royal Diplomas - Paperback

These two works are formal decrees by King Wladislaus of Hungary and Poland, granting privileges to the village of Nowotaniec, specifically the village of Lubothancze. The king elevates the village to a town governed by Magdeburg law, allowing for the establishment of markets and granting full autonomy from local authorities. The decree exempts the citizens from the jurisdiction of kingdom officials, enabling them to be judged by their own representatives. The second text serves as a historical record of the restoration of the Eastern Church of the Greek and Ruthenian Rite to the Roman Catholic jurisdiction. It emphasizes the importance of divine worship, the honor of sacred edifices, and the peaceful union of the faithful. The decree grants rights, liberties, and property restoration to the clergy of the Greek and Ruthenian Rite, ensuring their jurisdiction is respected and protected from interference by secular authorities. The document aims to enhance the spiritual well-being of the faithful and secure the future of the church within the kingdom.
