Summary/Abstract: The Archive of the Father Walenty Patykiewicz Archidiocese in Częstochowa stores the document of the Polish king Aleksander, issued on behalf of clothiers from Wieluń on 1st February 1502, confirming and transsumming Kazimierz Jagiellończyk’s diploma from 25 March 1450, resolving the argument in favour of consumers they had with the cloth cutters concerning the sale of the worse quality and cheaper cloth in the town than the one produced locally. The very document was found during maintenance works conducted recently in the archive. The parchment itself is important because of citing in extenso Kazimierz’s privilege, that has not been retained in its original version until recently, useful in studies on the history of guild and trade in Wieluń, but also the Polish royal office. It can also constitute an important reason for studies on the Polish numismatics of the Middle Ages. The source appendix involves the subject document, additionally comparing a transumpt of the privilege Kazimierz had and its contemporary record in the crown certificate.
