Abstract

There has been a long-lasting scholarly debate on the role of Hungary in the commercial system of mid-15th century Central Europe, and certain new arguments and scholarly contributions over the last century have affected our understanding of this question. The discussion was initiated in 1902 with the publication of a book by Ferenc Kováts (1873–1956) on the circulation of commercial goods in western Hungary in the 15th century (Kováts, 1902). Kováts based his reconstruction on the registers of the ‘thirtieth customs’ (tricesima) of Bratislava (Pressburg, Pozsony), the thirtieth customs being a duty of one thirtieth the value of trade goods, paid mainly after they were exported from or imported into the country.1
