Summary/Abstract: The study presents the activities of the main officials of the administration of 17th century Târgu Mures/Marosvásárhely. The leading role was played by the judge of the town, who was not only in charge of the city’s internal but also its external relations. A significant role was played by the sworn citizens, who took their share in the administration of justice and tax collection in the city. The town notary also had an important role in the administration of the town, in addition to his regular duties of issuing documents and recording revenues and protocols. The main part of the research is represented by the archontology attached to the study, which provides a basis for interpreting the internal power relations and changes in the political life of the town.
