Summary

A single surviving manuscript of the Chronique de Spišská Sobota suggests it served as a tool for legitimizing the rights of German-speaking urban communities in the Spiš region, potentially linked to the League of Spiš Cities. Analysis indicates composition around 1450–1460, likely motivated by the impending loss of autonomy in 1465, and points to authorship by a lay intellectual from Levoča involved in local administration.
