Manuscript. Certificate from the Empress of Austria, Queen Maria Theresa of Hungary to Baron Karol Péreny, ispán of the Ugachan Committee. 1742. Paper 33x22 cm. In Latin. The text is affixed with a red wax seal and the Empress's personal signature. The document was transferred to the museum in 1963 from the library of the National Museum, created in the family palace of Barons Peréni in Vynohradiv. The Peréni family is one of the most famous families in Hungary, whose history is closely related to Transcarpathia. This family's manuscript fund in the funds of the Transcarpathian Museum of Local History is an extremely valuable source for the study of the socio-economic and cultural status of Transcarpathia during the domination of the Austrian Habsburgs.
