Het belang van de hulpwetenschappen voor het historisch onderzoek: de casus van de stedelijke secretarie van 's-Hertogenbosch tot ca. 1450

Abstract

The study of the medieval urban chancery of ’s-Hertogenbosch is an exeptional case because the corpus of the sources are deficient. Usual sources as the municipal accounts and signatures of the townscribes are missing. Nevertheless the reconstruction of the townsecretariat was possible due to the diplomatic-palaeographical analysis of the charters, protocol books, sentence registers, a few accounts, cartularies and notarial instruments. Only trough the paleographic research of the documentary sources it was possible to reveal the growing literacy in town and the dominant position of the notariat within the town secretariat.
