Summary/Abstract: The authors focus on the study of selected articles concerning duties of city authorities in Brno law manuscripts (the Brno law book dating from the mid-14th century and its shortened extract Manipulus vel directorium iuris civilium dating from the 1480th) and in their conserved Czech translations dating from the 16th century. They show that the Czech version recorded in one of the manuscripts held by the Brno City Archive may be rather a translation of the version enriched with the Jihlava articles, i.e. the so-called Liber iuris civilium. Brikcí of Licsko who was the first to codify the municiple law seems to have at his disposal, in addition to other papers, also this translation of the Manipulus or rather Liber. On the other side, the authors find here feed-backs unknown till now, i. e. the reflexion of the Prague laws in the Brno milieu.
