| description | The paper investigates trials conducted against suicides by patrimonial courts in the Eggenberg/
Schwarzenberg and Czernin demesnes in South Bohemia in the pre-Enlightenment era (1675–1780).
Primarily, it attempts to explain the gradual tendencies toward greater leniency over the period
in question, and describes the strategies involved in this form of ‘decriminalization’, especially as
regards broadening the exculpatory category of ‘melancholy/madness’. The paper also strives to
analyze the attitudes of various social groups whose members were involved in the investigative
proceedings and subsequent trials (town officials, patrimonial aristocracy, the appellate court in
Prague, local clergy, the (arch)bishop’s consistory, but also the offender’s neighbors as witnesses),
and demonstrate that the gradual decriminalization was a ‘vertical’ process which occurred from
the top down: the patrimonial authorities tended to show the most leniency, whereas the offender’s
neighbors were usually the most disapproving. |
