Immovable Property in Legal Actions as Documented in the Notarial Records: The Case of 13th-Century Dalmatian Cities
Journal Title: Mesto a dejiny - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Written documents are particularly valuable when researching medieval urbanity, since many buildings or spatial constellations are no longer extant or have been restructured over the centuries. The issue of ownership over immovable property is crucial when it comes to exploring historical urban areas, since its owners/users directly influenced its appearance and alterations. Information on the types, locations, and owners of immovable property are found scattered in notarial documents, mostly in various legal actions related to property transfer. In this paper, we have analysed this type of data linked to immovable property and its descriptions in the notarial records, focusing on the 13th-century Dalmatian cities of Zadar, Šibenik, Trogir, Split, and Dubrovnik (present-day Croatia). These data constitute a database that serves to reconstruct various spatial and social relations in the medieval city.
