Secondly I did the statistic quatification of all criminal delicts which are mentioned in "pitch" or "black" books of Náchod and Nymburk and other materials of court provenance. Then I compared court causes from other "pitch"/ "black" books which were published in the past with material from Náchod's and Nymburk's archive. I managed to use modern historical methods such as microhistory and historical anthropology to show which postures took early modern society to different types of criminal delicts or problematic phenomenona like sexual life before marriage, suicide, rape or witchcraft.

Witchcraft in dominion of Třeboň in the early modern age
KREJČÍ, Lucie
The theme of my bachelor thesis is the issue of witchcraft on the estate of Třeboň in the years 1590 - 1783. The main task is to clarify the relationship between witchcraft and folk culture based on the criminal legal sources preserved in the fund of estate Třeboň. Moreover, I will also try to bring the difference between the normative and the factual punishment of these acts with the help of the preserved pitch books. To the center of attention they get specific actors who stood before the seigniorial court and will be also zoomed legal proceedings with František Řezáč by using metods of historical anthropology.
