  1. Lustracja W ojewodztwa Krakowskiego, 1564, Part I, ed. J. Malecki, Polish Academy
    of Sciences, Institute of History (Warsaw, 1962), 148-9. Local weights and measures
    and monetary units cause endless complications in understanding these texts. The
    exact volume of the bushel in Nowy Targ at this time is not known. In neighbouring
    Nowy Sacz, the korzec (bushel) was the same as in Cracow, i.e. about half of the
    Danzig measure. Within thirty miles, at Czchow, it was equivalent to 1^1 / 2 Cracovian
    bushels, and at Biecz 2. The monetary units in use were: 1 mark (marcalgrzywna) = 48
    groschen (grossilgroszy); 1 florin (florenus/zloty) = 32 groschen; 1 grossus/grosz = 3
    shillings (solidi/szelqgi) — 18 pence (denarii). Total sums were calculated in terms of
    marks, grossi, and pence: mc/gr/d.

CHAPTER 3. PIAST



  1. Among many introductions to Piast Poland, Bobrzynski's Dzieje Polski w zarysie
    (Warsaw, 1879), i, was the standard work before the last war. The Historia Polska i,
    Part 1, to 1454, ed. H. Lowmianski (Warsaw, 1957), is the main textbook for present-
    day students. There are two attractive volumes in the 'Historical Confrontations' series
    of the Academy of Sciences' Institute of History, i.e. Polska pierwszych Piastow, ed.
    T. Manteuffel (Warsaw, 1970); and Polska dzielnicowa i zjednoczona, ed. A. Gieysztor
    (Warsaw, 1972).

  8. The history of the Teutonic Order was one of the prime concerns of the old Prussian
    School, exemplified in Treitschke's Das Deutsche Ordensland Preussen (Leipzig, 1903).
    The huge bibliography is collected in E. Wermke, Bibliografie zur Geschichte von
    Ostund Westpreussen (Aalen, 1962); and K. H. Lampe, Bibliografie des Deutschen
    Ordens bis 1959, Bd. I (Bad Godesberg, 1975). The doyen of Polish scholars in this field
    is Professor Karol Gorski, of Torun, whose recent monograph Zakon krzyzacki a
    powstanie panstwa pruskiego (Wroclaw, 1977), which is also published in Italian,
    summarizes over forty earlier studies. The same author's article, 'The Teutonic Order',
    Mediaevalia et Humanistica, fasc. 17 (Boulder, Colorado, 1966), 20-37, reviews the
