Abstract: Based on archival material, the author addresses the issue of the presence and possible influence of the Venetians on the legal and economic life of the 14th century Kotor. Special attention has been paid to their legal influence, overseas wholesale trade, healthcare and crafts in the city. The study has been divided into seven sections. The first two sections following the introduction examine the legal impact that the Venetian notaries performing this service in Kotor could have had on the creation of medieval Kotor statutory law. Since they were educated at Italian universities from which they had knowledge of the rules on the received Roman law and legal standards of notarial documents and their significance, it is important to examine the degree of this influence in terms of both normativity and application. The fourth section deals with the contribution of Venetian merchants to the economic power of the town, which was, among other things, based on the overseas wholesale trade with influential Venetian trading families, thanks to which Kotor was known as one of the most important ports in the east Adriatic. The fifth part features an analysis of numerous contracts shedding light on the private practice of Venetian doctors, notaries, and craftsmen and their contribution to life in general in the town. Section 6 deals with an analysis of litigations conducted in Kotor concerning failure to comply with contractual obligations to Venetians and explains them in the context of the application of ius commune, which was the legal basis for all statutory rights of the medieval communes in the Mediterranean.

Abstract: In the introductory chapter the author shortly reviewed canon law rules which defined and regulated the episcopal elections in the period from the 11th to the end of the 14th century. A number of biographies of clerics whose promotion to the top of the ecclesiastical career (episcopal election) on the territory of Venetian Dalmatia, illustrate the system of papal provision as well as the influence the Venetian Senate had on their career formation and the episcopal election. The older Croatian scholarship asserted that by electing candidates who would be favourable to its governement, the Venetian Republic had influenced the episcopal appointments in Dalmatian dioceses from the early 1420s, when it took over the dominion over the Eastern Adriatic coast. However, the process of episcopal appointments went rather slowly and gradually, following the strict canon law rules. Documents kept in the Vatican Secret Archives indicate that the popes widely used their right of provision based on canon law rules to appoint „their men“ and decidedly refused proposals coming from the Venetian Senate. Indeed, out of 63 bishops appointed in the nine Dalmatian dioceses under Venetian dominion, 46 were prelates of Venetian orgin, coming either from Venice or the Veneto region, whereas only seven of them came from the Papal State. On the other hand, bishops of Dalmatian origin were only 17.

• Francesco Mario AGNOLI, Considerazioni sul provveditorato generale di Alvise Foscari in Dalmazia e Albania (1777-1780), 83-110   DOWNLOAD

Abstract: The 126 dispatches sent from Zara to Venice by Alvise Foscari, general Superintendent in Dalmatia and Albania, during his mandate (1777-1780) do not contain, at a time of apparent calm in the Adriatic and the Balkans, references to events of “great politics”. However, they represent a wealth of information particularly illuminating because they are coming from a Venetian nobleman in charge of the government of his overseas subjects, on the relationship between the Capital and the Provinces of the Dominio da Mar and the state of health of the Republic in the last twenty years of his glorious existence.

They also resulted in attempts at implementing the idea of unification, but also of national liberation on the wider territory of the East Adriatic.

Abstract: The central theme of the paper is to study the migration processes in Kotor in the 18th century. The emphasis was on the share of immigrants from Montenegro’s hinterland into Kotor. The research was based on the analysis of the original archival material from the Bishop’s Archives in Kotor, the books of the Church of St. Tryphon. By inspecting the above mentioned material, the time span of the census, the ways of identification, and the gender and professional structure of the immigrants are presented and analyzed. Finally, the share of Montenegrin immigrants in each book of births (births, weddings and deaths) is analyzed, with an emphasis on displaying topics from the social everyday life of the population.

ABSTRACT: Staying on the other shore of ‘exile’ Niccolò Tommaseo affirms the irreducible otherness and polyphony of the Adriatic koinè, as a floating territory between southern Slavs and Italians. This territory can not be inhabited by those who are rooted in one language and in one nation. Tommaseo stated that the time of the queens and masters of the universe – like that of revolutionary France- had passed, even because of the polycentrism and polyphony of the European civilization. Indeed, European civilization is a set of various civilizations which constist of a „discordant diversity” and an „harmonic variety” put together in one civilization. KEY WORDS: Niccolò Tommaseo, Adriatic koinè, Dalmatia, Italians and Slavs, polycentric and polyphonic civilization

ABSTRACT: In the Boka Kotorska Bay, fishing is one of the oldest occupations, based on the coastal lifestyle of its inhabitants. Unfortunately, few documents detailing the fishery traditions have been preserved, and oral traditions can be dated back only to the 19th century. The fishing net has been a key invention in fisheries. It is made up of netting of varying mesh size, formed by knotting of the threads. Besides the fishing net, the fishing boat is an essential tool in fisheries. Depending on the type of fisheries, various types of gear were used — fishing nets (gillnets, trammel nets, beach seines, purse seines and towed nets), long–lines (set or drifting), harpoon, pots and traps.

Abstract: The Archive of the Historical Office of the Italian Army General Staff in Rome contains reports (fonds E-8, Inter-Allied Commissions at the Paris Peace Conference, Montenegro) about the Montenegrin issue at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. These documents give details about Montenegrin aspirations for independence at the end of WWI, after the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. During the Conference and the following years, the Inter-allied Commissions had the task to draw up new boundaries of the states and supervise the application of economic and military conditions. As a consequence, the Italian military representatives, who were in charge of these tasks, were involved in the political and diplomatic events of those countries.

ABSTRACT: After the Wilson points, in Italy too emerged in the public discourse the question to support or not the „oppressed nationalities” in Austria-Hungary. Luigi Albertini and the newspaper „Il Corriere della Sera” leaded this strategy, which meant to pass the positions of the London Pact and to prepare Italy to negotiate the Eastern claimed territories with new nations, as Yugoslavs. The Torre-Trumbic agreement was the important result of this action and political base for the Congress of Rome, in April 1918. This Congress was the beginning of the real support to the nationalities against Habsburgs. The propaganda over the enemy‘s trenches was fruitful: with more than 50 millions of posters and quite 10 millions of newspaper launched over the lines, Italian army called to a mass desertion the no German/Hungarian soldiers (then belonging to the „oppressed nationalities”, e.g. Yugoslavs, Romanians, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks).This factor was one of the most relevant for the final victory.

ABSTRACT: A gap in which the Muslim population was found in territories included in the composition of the Montenegrin state was even more profound, if we consider that this population followed specific achievements and a dynamic relationship of the Islamic tradition and regional influences. Most of it felt Montenegro their homeland as the Christian-Orthodox did, spoke the same language and had the same Slavic origin, but they were being recognized by different personal names, learning different literacy, growing with heroes of their own epic, and cultural and esthetic patterns finding in brilliant achievements of Islamic Orient.

The list of Drobnjaks displaced before the 1878 is not possible to be individually reconstructed due to the lack of archival sources. An intensive migration of Montenegrins to USA began shortly before the end of XIX century. It is evident that the same process has included the Drobnjaks. The majority of immigrants have settled in the USA, while the others have chosen Canada and South America. They have been undertaking the worst jobs in the mines and partly been employed in factories. The smallest number ended in farms, mainly because of low wages.
