The period from around 1450 to 1550 in Europe is extremely interesting from the perspective of research on extreme weather events. It was a period of events that strongly influenced the societies and economies of the Old Continent. So far, the literature has been more focused on western and northern Europe. Concerning the region of central Europe, the greatest attention was paid to the Czech Republic or Hungary. This article revolves around the Polish lands, which experienced their greatest economic boom in the 16th century. We consider whether and how the droughts of the decade from 1531 to 1540 might have affected the country's economic development. We analyse a number of written sources which are the product of the treasury apparatus of the time (tax registers, data from water customs, tax exemptions, inventories of land estates etc.), but also information on fluctuations in product prices in the most important cities in this part of Europe. The work not only provides a detailed account of economic data, but also attempts to reflect on the relevance of linking information on fires in urban centres in the period characterized by weather extremes.

The Domain of Thoth of Pa-Udjy, Pr Ḏḥwty n(y) Pȝ-Wḏy, is a small place of the Sixteenth Province of Upper Egypt, also known as Oryx Province. The province is well known among Egyptologists for its great monuments, which mostly date from Old and Middle Kingdoms, and from studies of religious geography texts from Ptolemaic and Roman periods. However, monuments and texts from other periods provide us many toponyms for this province, more or less known in studies and which remain names most of the time, with no archaeological traces in the landscape. These documents are nonetheless full of precious clues for the setting of Egyptian geography. The Domain is a discreet place in the text sphere and even more in the archaeological sphere. It appears to exist only during New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period, thus far from the monuments and texts of religious geography mentioned above. With the help of these few documents mentioning the Domain, we will manage to determine the etymology of the Domain, a question more complicated than it seems. This information will have its importance in the main question of this study, the status of the place and the setting of where it should situate in the Oryx Province, defining so an area where we might be able to find archaeological remains.
