The first one is focused on the describing the outward signs of the urban book, an analysis of the registers from a diplomatic-content analysis point of view and the urban book in the context of the written production of the municipal office are the central part of the analysis of the urban book of Pacov.

The groups sorting of different types of registers is based on the structure of municipal book as Ludmila Sulitková has applied to the urban environment of Brno books in the context of the urban book development in the Middle Ages. This classification is based on the results of a longtime research, whose origin can be associated with Václav Vojtíšek.

The main consideration in the discussion of each register is devoted to answering social functions of municipal registers, its registration in the municipal office, as well as the role of nobility in the context of individual registers is monitored. The analysis of the urban book has showed a wide range of registers which are increasing in the urban book and are gaining a stronger form, while other types of registers are disappearing.

These phenomena have been the basis for at least a hypothetical reconstruction of the municipal book of Pacov within municipal office of the early modern period. And that position of the urban book of Pacov to the other written documents - paper, sheets, acts forms the content of the final sub-section of the presented study.

The second part is focused on editing of urban books with name, local and subject index
