Next to the Spital, serving as an almshouse, there was a cemetery with the graves discovered in 1837. They were groundlessly connected with the Polish Brethren, and this false interpretation has its continuation today in the name of Arian St., down-town Cracow. In fact, the hospital and the graveyard belonged to the local Lutheran congregation, and the Cracow merchants whose opinions Fister recalled at the court were its members.}, type={Text}, title={Niemieccy kupcy i czarownica w Krakowie w 1642 r.}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/154398/PDF/WA303_188460_A512-64-2020_OiR-Kowalski.pdf}, keywords={witchcraft, merchants, Evangelicals, city justice, early modern Cracow, almshouse, witchcraft - Poland - Kraków - history, witches - Poland - history - 17th century, merchants - Poland - Kraków - history - 17th century, merchants - Poland - Kraków - social life and customs - 17th century, protestants - Poland - Kraków - history - 17th century, Kraków (Poland) - history - 17th century, Kraków (Poland) - history - 17th century - sources, hospitals - Poland - Kraków - history - 17th century}, }
