2022
Abstract
One of the main building crafts at the St Vitus Gothic cathedral constituted stonecutters, who produced stone construction components. St Vitus building accounts of 1372-78 enable description of the workings of the stonecutter's lodge, in which they were organized.
Working activities, numbers and fluctuation of the workers, in some cases also geographical migration are surveyed. The invoices also document the costs of stonecutters works.
