Abstract | The study of the bounds of a social group is a fruitful approach to the understanding of social structures of the Middle Ages, as the evidence of the emergence of these boundaries can be found in very diverse sources. The papers analyse different ways of actualisation, fixation, and maintaining of the boundaries of social communities in medieval towns. In the urban social environment, the variety of ways to set and sustain community boundaries is one of the essential factors of their existence. There is also the issue of permeability and insurmontability of the social boundaries of medieval urban communities. |
