This source was entered into the Zbąszyń municipal registry for the years 1592–1807, which is kept in the Kórnik Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Kórnik. Compared to other similar publications, it is far from impressive. The main reason is the fact that it does not cover other trades which existed in this town at the time. Still, one of its major advantages is the fact that it is the first such source from the former Poznań voivodeship. Furthermore, it helps us learn more about living conditions in a small private town. It lists prices of spirits, bread, and meat, which were the basic alimentary products consumed by people back then.
