Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is publication of the original material - the provisions on limitations of prices in the marketplace Krapina in the 17th century, with a short accompanying commentary on the research possibilities of these types of sources, and a superficial analysis of price movements in the decade. The primary purpose of posting this kind of material is to make it available to interested researchers and indicate the economic-historic potential of research into the early modern period, as price movements can be an indicator of economic processes and trends in the wider area. It is the 17th century, the least explored one that represents an extremely important period from an economic perspective, as a transition from an inflation-marked period and refedualization during the era of enlightened absolutism and state economic doctrine of mercantilism and physiocracy.
