Summary/Abstract: Among the duties of the magistrates in the towns of seven Transylvanian counties (Cluj, Turda, Dăbâca, Solnocul Interior, Alba, Târnava, Hunedoara), the registration of protocols, the issuance of their own documents and letters had an important place. The biggest obstacle of the research is that the majority of the archives of the Transylvanian market towns were destroyed and only a small part of the archived resources survived. These documents and protocols were produced during the magistrates’ judicial, administrative and economic activities (real estate, financial).
