The Legal Position of Foreigners in the Statutes of Dalmatian Cities

U radu se, nakon pregleda literature i termina kojima su u rječnicima srednjovjekovnog latiniteta stranci bili obuhvaćeni, obrađuje niz statutarnih odredbi s područja stvarnog, obveznog i nasljednog prava, parničnog postupka te materijalnog i procesnoga kaznenog prava koje, cjelovito sagledane, daju potpuniju sliku o pravnom položaju stranaca u dalmatinskim općinama tijekom XIV. st.When the trade on the eastern coast of the Adriatic started to experience a strong impetus in the middle of the twelfth century, foreigners, particularly foreign merchants, started to be more frequent guests of the eastern Adriatic communes. In order to protect their trade interests, the same communes were moved to regulate the legal position of these newcomers and started to conclude treaties with the communes on the opposite shore of the Adriatic, and also similar treaties among themselves, treaties whose main incentive was, besides the mutual liberation from tolls and different dues, the giving of guarantees for the protection of goods and the personal safety of citizens (merchants) of the treaties’ signatory parties. The basic rule emerging from these treaties – the principle of reciprocity – was later transferred and further elaborated in their city statutes. In this work, the author concentrated his research on the position of the foreigner in the statutes of Dalmatian communes. Although in dictionaries of medieval latinity there may be a found long list of terms for styling different groups of foreigners – extraneus, forensis, peregrinus, viator, vagabundus and so on – foreigners were in medieval Dalmatian statutes regularly styled by the most general term forensis, or, very rarely, by that of extraneus. Particular categories of foreigners, except that of foreign merchants, are barely mentioned. Medieval statutory law defined as a foreigner not only someone who was not born on the territory of the commune concerned, but, first and foremost, one who did not have his permanent residence on the communal territory. By guaranteeing the protection of his goods and money, as well as his personal safety and certain privileges, such as the right to an abbreviated judicial procedure, the communes tried not only to avoid uncontrolled escalations of violence, but also, in accord with the principle of reciprocity, to ensure that the same principles would be applied to their citizens. In cases when a foreigner decided to settle in one of the Dalmatian communes, he became an inhabitant of that city and equal to the citizens in almost everything except in political rights, with the addition that he able to acquie full citizenship after a certain term had passed or he had fulfilled certain conditions. Besides foreigners and foreign merchants, the only particular group of outsiders mentioned in the statutes is that of Slavs/Croats. The attitude towards them was to a certain extent more restrictive than that towards the forenses, and the reasons for that were in the first place of an economic nature. Specifically, as Dalmatian communes could not be certain that they were capable of ensuring “their right and justice as lawful order requests and demands,” while facing the threat of their periodically occurring assaults – which were the results of the political ambitions of Croatian magnates or the duality of the central authority on the eastern coast of the Adriatic (the king of Hungary-Croatia and the Venetian Republic) – and were unable to provide compensation for inflicted damages from the property of culprits, they proposed rigid, in the first place economic, sanctions against this group. At the same time, however, they did not practise any discriminatory procedure if a particular Slav/Croat decided to settle on the territory of the commune and tried to integrate himself fully, the same as all other forenses, into the framework of the communal society concerned

The notaries of Šibenik: Pietrobono Pagano (1436–1437)

U prilogu su objavljeni spisi šibenskoga notara Pietrobona Pagana iz 1436. i 1437. godine, koji se čuvaju u Državnome Arhivu u Zadru. Riječ je o pedeset i tri dokumenta, od toga trideset i devet oporuka i četrnaest brevijarija oporuka, koji predstavljaju dragocjen izvor za proučavanje povijesti svakodnevice te društvenih odnosa i gospodarskih prilika u srednjovjekovnoj šibenskoj općini.This article brings together fifty-three last testaments recorded by the Šibenik notary Pietrobono Pagano, originally from Venice. The testaments, which may be found in the State Archives in Zadar, date from 1436–1437. They contain rich data that give insight into religious life, social conditions and family relations in the town. For this reason, these testaments are valuable sources for the history of everyday life as well as the social and economic history of the medieval Šibenik

On the familiares of the Counts of Nelipčić

Uspon knezova Nelipčića u red visokoga plemstva tijekom XIV. stoljeća vremenski se podudarao s pojavom institucije familijara u Ugarsko-Hrvatskome Kraljevstvu, velikaških službenika koji su ubrzo postali temelj njihove vojne moći i glavni oslonac u upravljanju njihovim posjedima preuzevši tako ulogu koju su do tada imali članovi šire obitelji ili roda. Ulazeći na dobrovoljnoj osnovi u službu pojedinih velikaša, ovi su familijari – proistekli iz redova srednjega i nižega plemstva – postajali članovima kućanstva svoga gospodara pri čemu je njihova služba, koja je obično trajala do smrti jedne od strana, odgovarala njihovu društvenu položaju. Sačuvana arhivska građa, na žalost, nudi samo fragmentarne vijesti o tim familijarima Nelipčića, vijesti koje se u velikoj mjeri svode tek na spomen njihovih imena i dužnosti koju su u određenome trenutku obnašali. U radu su, stoga, u skladu s dostupnim vijestima, prikazani poznati familijari Nelipčića koji su kroz tri generacije ove obitelji, koliko je trajalo razdoblje od njihova uspona do nestanka, obnašali različite dužnosti za svoje gospodare.The rise of the Counts of Nelipčić among the ranks of high nobility during the 14th century coincided with the emergence of the institution of familiares, officials that soon became the basis of the nobility’s military power and their main stronghold in maintaining the estates. In this respect, the familiares took over the service previously performed by the members of extended noble families or kindreds. Upon entering the service of a nobleman, they became members of their master’s household and usually remained in this status until the death of either party, whereby their tasks corresponded to their social standing. Even though the extant archival sources offer only fragmentary information on the familiares of the Nelipčić, mostly mere names and the service they performed at a given moment, in some cases it is possible to follow their personal careers, at least in part. This paper therefore focuses, on the basis of the preserved records, on the known familiares of the Nelipčić who performed various services for their masters through the three generations from the family’s rise to their extinction
