| Popis: | THE POLICY OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF LVIV TOWARDS JEWS AND ARMENIANS IN THE 15TH/16TH CENTURIES. THE ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS HETEROGENEITY OF A TOWN AS A CHALLENGE FOR ITS SYSTEM The article considers the policy of the town council of Lviv towards the Jewish and Armenian communities with respect to urban identity formation. The introduction presents the role of the Magdeburg Law, which determined the rules for not only the burgher community but also the whole town and its authorities. Against this background the author discusses the strategies applied by the council to gain legal dominance over non-burgher communities and identifies reasons of conflicts between the council and the Jewish and Armenian communities (the Ruthenian community became politically active only in the 16th century). An analysis of the council’s policy towards the ethnic and religious heterogeneity of the town must take into consideration its long-term strategy, as well as the historical conditions which could not be foreseen but influenced the situation in major ways. The council viewed the strategy of striving for political hegemony as following from the assumptions of the Magdeburg Law but the success of failure of its policy was largely conditioned by particular circumstances not by the system. |
