Court merchants were privileged entrepreneurs who supplied luxury foreign goods and other foreign delicacies (citrus fruits, oysters, sweet wines) to the imperial court (Hofstaat). The study describes the development of the legal status of court merchants in the Habsburg monarchy during the 16th and 17th centuries and analyses their economic and personal freedoms, including the development of tax obligations towards the state and the city of residence. Based on primary archival sources, the paper describes the national composition of the court merchants active during the reign of Rudolf II in Prague. It deals with their business activities towards the imperial court, but at the same time reconstructs the business and other personal networks that court merchants had in relation to the city and its inhabitants, and the contacts they had with each other.

Important and large Jewish communities formed in both cities during the 16th century, both reaching their peaks after the mid-16th century. The study focuses on the development of these relationships between Mantua as the residence of the House of Gonzaga, and Prague as the Imperial residential city. It provides information on Jewish figures who moved along the route between Mantua and Prague.
Studie se věnuje tématu vztahových sítí židovských bankéřů, obchodníků a učenců, kteří se v 16. století pohybovali mezi Prahou a Mantovou. V obou městech se během 16. století vytvořily významné a populačně silné židovské obce, které svůj rozkvět zaznamenaly shodně po polovině 16. století. V Praze byl tento vývoj umožněn politikou císaře Rudolfa II., jež přinesla Židům právně i ekonomicky stabilnější prostředí. V Mantově zaznamenala židovská komunita výraznější demografický růst a současně ekonomický i kulturní rozvoj za vlád vévodů Guglielma Gonzagy a jeho syna Vincenza I. Gonzagy, v jejichž dvorském prostředí našli uplatnění vedle židovských finančníků a obchodníků i další židovští umělci a vzdělanci. Na příkladu životních osudů několika vybraných židovských osobností, jež se na ose mezi Mantovou a Prahou pohybovaly, se studie pokouší o rekonstrukci jejich vztahových sítí i klientských vazeb s příslušníky rodu Gonzagů a Habsburků. Současně se snaží vysvětlit a zhodnotit politické, kulturní i ekonomické důvody, které přímo či nepřímo ke vzniku těchto osobních, rodinných a profesních kontaktů vedly a jejich průběh ovlivňovaly.

The aim of the study is to describe the reasons and routes that brought specific natives from the Netherlands region to Prague and, on this basis, to characterise the more general causes and course of Dutch immigration. The aim is therefore to characterise the motivations of Dutch immigrants for coming to the city, to describe their economic activity in Prague, and to try to evaluate their socio-economic and personal relationships established in the new milieu.
Studie je zaměřena na téma přistěhovalectví do předbělohorské Prahy z oblasti Nizozemí, tedy regionu, který leží na území současných států Nizozemsko, Belgie, Lucembursko a částečně (severní) Francie. Cílem studie je popsat důvody a cesty, které přivedly jednotlivé rodáky z tohoto regionu do Prahy, a na tomto základě charakterizovat obecnější příčiny a průběh nizozemské imigrace. Cílem je tak charakterizovat motivace nizozemských imigrantů pro příchod do města, popsat jejich ekonomickou aktivitu v Praze a pokusit se zhodnotit jejich socioekonomické a osobní vztahy navázané v novém prostředí.

This study deals with the topic of mobility of Jewish families, which is understood in spatial (geographical) terms here. As for the time delineation, it pertains to the 16th century and the end of the period preceding the Battle of White Mountain. The text focuses on networks of relationships established between Prague Jewish families and Jewish communities in other regions and on related movements of people across near and far places of the then Europe. The study aims to describe how the Prague Jews most frequently established these family ties and with which Jewish
communities, as well as the backdrop of political, social and economic events against which this took place. Based on particular examples from the Jewish community of Prague, a specific typology of life events leading to situations when family members set out for a journey to visit their relatives in foreign countries or to permanently move in with them is formulated.

In particular, it is dedicated to a professional group of family merchants and financiers from the towns of Chiavenna and Piuro, whose members temporarily or permanently settled in Nuremberg, Prague, Krakow and Vienna during the 16th century. These were groups of people connected by region, interest, economics, and partly family whose main impulse for migration to Central Europe was business. One family whose members set up a network of interconnected branches or more freely cooperating societies in different parts of southern, western, central, and eastern Europe in the 16th century was the Vertemati (Werdemann) family. Using the example of this family, which settled outside Italy in places such as Zurich, Lyon, Nuremberg, Prague, Krakow, Vienna and Hamburg, the study attempts to observe and evaluate the process of the gradual penetration of Italian merchants and financiers in the Central European area during the 16th century and the way in which they operated a business in their new environment.

Prague’s Old Town in the 1580s. In 1594–1595, Manze accompanied imperial
counsellor Ernfried Minkvic of Minckvicburk on his diplomatic missions to north
Germany, Poland and Russia. While the experienced politician Minkvic took part
on behalf of the emperor in negotiating the terms of a peace treaty between Sweden
and Russia at Narva (negotiations took place in 1595 in the village of Tjavzino/
Teusina), the stay abroad mainly brought troubles for Manze in his private life. These
were the result of suspicions that despite being married in Prague to confectioner
Kateřina, née Mejšnarová, he had found another woman in Krakow, Anna de la
Fontana. According to some people, he had not only started a family with her, but
had in fact married Anna. After the entire matter became known in Prague and
Manze returned to the city, his wife Kateřina filed a lawsuit against him. Subsequently,
the trial before the Old Town court became a heated dispute between the couple,
with over forty witnesses providing testimony on their private life and confectionery
business. Based on their testimony and other sources, the study not only reconstructs
the twists and turns of their mutual relationships and the everyday life of the
confectionery trade, but also attempts to provide a broader view of the neighbour
relationships of burghers (male and female) and other inhabitants of Rudolfinian
Prague, many of which, like Manze and his wife, were first-generation immigrants.

annotation:
The conference focuses on the migration of the Jewish population in Central Europe during the 15 and 16 centuries. Different factors combined at that time, leading to situations which forced individuals and entire communities to leave their homes and seek a new place in which to live. The political and social causes and consequences of such forced migration of Jews in individual countries will be discussed, as will the significant displacement associated with the expulsion of Jews from entire areas. At the same time, however, there was natural movement of people in Jewish society at that time, together with a transfer of ideas and knowledge, taking place at religious, cultural, and economic level (e.g. education in yeshivas, Hebrew book printing, the mobility of Jewish doctors and other specialists, or the transfer of knowledge of lending and banking).
