This article addresses the closing of the nobility and Major Council of Dubrovnik as a long-term process most clearly articulated in the course of the thirteenth and fourteenth century. Analysed are the criteria used for the definition of nobility and its closing before the actual closure of the council, while special attention has been given to the preserved lists of the Major Council membership from the mid-thirteenth and early fourteenth century, their purpose and effect. As the Venetian Serrata of the last decades of the thirteenth and first decades of the fourteenth century proved to have been a model and impetus for the closing of the Ragusan along with other Dalmatian councils, its meaning as well as different interpretations of this process are being thoroughly considered. The article compares the method and effects of the closing of the Ragusan council with those of other cities of the Eastern Adriatic. The interpretation of these processes as presented in Ragusan chronicles inaugurates the final assessment of the significance and consequences of the closing of the Major Council of Dubrovnik.

Based mainly on the oldest ledger of the Hospitale misericordiae started in the immediate aftermath of the Great Earthquake of 1667, along with other sources, this article examines the impact of this natural disaster on the operation of the foundling hospital located in the heavily devastated heart of the city of Dubrovnik. Analysis of the frequency of wet-nursing payment entries allows an insight into the normalisation of the functioning of this state-run charity institution in the time of crisis. The study of the restoration of the foundling hospital in the aftermath contributes to a better understanding of the extraordinary vitality and perseverance of the Dubrovnik Republic institutions, as well as organisational capacity of the individuals, members of the elites, who headed them.

The library of the Institute for Historical Sciences of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Dubrovnik was founded soon after the Institute’s establishment in 1949. In addition to a general survey of the library’s growth, this article traces the origins of the founding collections which include many treasured manuscripts and rare editions acquired through purchases and donations from private owners.

This paper sets out to explore the miraculous accounts concerning the Crucifixion groups in two Ragusan mendicant churches. The starting point is a well-documented case of the Franciscan high cross, which was embellished by a pair of wooden thurible-bearing angels by the prominent fifteenth-century preacher, Giacomo della Marca, later to become a blessed and saint. As legend has it, Giacomo announced a miracle, as was later corroborated at high feast days when the angels were incensing the cross by swinging their censers. Apart from a number of early modern accounts of these wondrous occurrences, the miracle-working imagery that graced the triumphal arch of St Francis’ church has come down to us through an early seventeenth-century drawing, which allows for the examination of the iconographical features of the venerated object lost in the aftermath of the 1667 earthquake. As scholars have already rightly recognised, the illustration shares remarkable closeness to the mid-fourteenth-century Crucifixion group in the Ragusan Dominican church, a surviving composition that was endowed with the same miraculous narrative. Admittedly, different early modern writers accredited the trope of the miraculous thurible-swinging angels to both the Franciscan and Dominican crucifixions. These sources, therefore, testify to the complex yet understudied histories of the Ragusan Crucifixion groups, and call for a more attentive examination of wonders reverberated centuries after the enshrinement of these imposing compositions in the city’s principal mendicant churches.
本文旨在探讨两个拉古桑乞丐教会中有关钉十字架群体的奇迹般的叙述。故事的起点是一个有充分文献记载的方济各会高十字架的案例,15世纪著名的传教士贾科莫·德拉·马卡(Giacomo della Marca)在十字架上装饰了一对木制的带烛台的天使,后来他成为了一位受祝福的圣人。据传说,贾科莫宣布了一个奇迹,后来在盛大的节日里,天使们挥舞着香炉在十字架上烧香,这一点得到了证实。除了一些关于这些奇妙事件的早期现代描述外,圣弗朗西斯教堂凯旋门上的奇迹图像通过一幅17世纪早期的绘画流传下来,这使得我们可以对1667年地震后失去的受人尊敬的物体的图像特征进行检查。正如学者们已经正确认识到的那样,这幅插图与十四世纪中期拉古桑多米尼加教堂的十字架组有着惊人的相似之处,这是一幅幸存下来的作品,被赋予了同样神奇的叙述。不可否认的是,不同的早期现代作家认为,圣方济会和多明尼加的十字架上都有神奇的摇摆天使的比喻。因此,这些资料证明了拉古桑钉十字架团体的复杂而未被充分研究的历史,并呼吁对这些壮观的作品在城市主要的乞丐教堂中被神圣化几个世纪后所产生的奇迹进行更仔细的研究。

Based on the results of most recent research concerning the so-called fourth block of communal houses in the early 1560s, this article argues in favour of the assumption that the facade of this particular block was used as a model for all the house facades later constructed on the north side of the Placa, at first, directly—in the hitherto unknown construction undertakings of two new blocks of communal houses in the westernmost part of the city’s main thoroughfare (near the Franciscan Church) in the early, i.e., mid-seventeenth century—and later, indirectly, in the reconstruction after the 1667 earthquake. Further examined are the issues that result from the analysis of present-day architectural structures in the light of previously known and recently discovered archival and visual evidence, as well as the role of certain participants in the processes of decision-making, design and construction, notably Ragusan authorities as initiators, investors and commissioners, along with two foreign architects—Jacques de Spinis, who arrived in Dubrovnik from Venice in the mid-sixteenth century, and papal architect Giulio Cerruti, sent directly from Rome in the autumn of 1667.

This article examines the genealogical, heraldic and culturalhistorical aspects of the recently online accessible armorial from the holdings of the Biblioteca Estense Universitaria in Modena. It has been established that this is one of the copies of Korjenić-Neorić Armorial dating from 1595, produced for the Radulović lineage of Ragusan Antunini. The legend of their Bosnian-Hum origin, settlement in Dubrovačko Primorje, social status and relations with the Kingdom of Naples link the Radulović captains and shipowners with the circle of the founders of the ‘Illyrian heraldry’. At the start of the seventeenth century, the Radulović bought a feudal estate and the city of Polignano in Apulia, received the title of marquis and moved there permanently. Radulović coat of arms is based on that of the Radijelović from the Korjenić-Neorić Armorial, whilst its composite variant includes another six coats of arms from the same collection. Radulović Armorial probably dates from the end of the seventeenth century, and was made for the most influential member of the lineage at the time, Cardinal Nikola Radulović (1627-1702), Archbishop of Chieti.
