TI - Propinae, dona honoraria, Contentment, Greetings, and Presents in the 17th century Lublin
AB - The subject of the article concerns those spheres of town life which favored corruption in the form of repeatedly handing over money, gifts, funding lavish parties for king’s officials, military leaders, guard officers of foreign diplomatic mission, or priests in return for desisting from functions of executing the town obligations from the towns. The basic source which the author used were the account books and city resolutions (lauda) published by Jan Riabinin in 1935. Summing up, the author pointed to the popular old Roman principle of reciprocity do, ut des (I give so that you may give) used in the 17th century Lublin.
