Description: Poverty and beggars have always been a part of the city of Vienna. Between 1443 and 1693 only beggars with beggars? badges (?Stadtzeichen?) were authorised to beg. The contextualisation, edition and analysis of a beggars? directory  (?Stadtzeichnerbuch?) dating from the seventeenth century (1678?1685) reveals the living circumstances of more than 900 poor people which can hardly be found in other sources.
