Abstract
- In my research I have processed the legal documents of József Zlinszky written in Latin and Hungarian. His land lay on the so-called triple boundary between Irsa, Mikebuda and Cegléd in the 18th-century. Zlinszky had many conflicts with his neighbours due to the unsettled boundaries which often resulted in lawsuits. The only purpose of these lawsuits was to increase the laimant’s territories, since the origin of wealth was landed property at this time. The relevant letters, legal papers and records show us how boundary walks were organized and how the proceedings happened in general. Furthermore, we get an insight into the 18 th-century life: the documents reveal the answers for questions like how important religion and faith were, how boundaries were interpreted by the people, or what kind of role a shepherd could have in a proceeding.
