%X The article by Adam Kamiński, an outstanding palaeographer and editor of old-Polish historical sources (1905–1981), discusses the system of palaeographic shorthand used by scribes of the Krakow land court in the oldest preserved register of the court in Poland from the years 1374–1385, stored in the National Archives in Krakow with the reference number 29/1/1. The author compares it with the shorthand used in western Europe based on handbooks of palaeography and shorthand dictionaries. The current text is testimony to Kamiński’s early palaeographic interests and studies, whose results were not published at the time, mainly due to the limited financial and technical resources of the state archives. This represents a valuable and interesting, as well as an unknown, contribution to research into land court offices in Poland.
