Središnje istraživačko zanimanje ovoga rada usmjereno je na proučavanje udjela Splićana u profesionalnoj mletačkoj konjaničkoj postrojbi (Croati a cavallo, Cavalleria Croati) tijekom 18. stoljeća. Rad se zasniva na istraživanju gradiva iz Archivio di Stato di Venezia (fond: Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli). Na osnovi navedenoga gradiva, kao i postojećih spoznaja iz historiografije, analizira se vremenski okvir djelovanja Splićana u rečenoj postrojbi, način njihova bilježenja, trajanje vojne službe, udio pripadnika iz istih obitelji, osobne (tjelesne) značajke vojnika, kao i mjesto njihova popisivanja te zapovjedni kadar jedinica u kojima su bili prisutni. Zaključak rada jest da su Splićani činili vrlo zapažen dio hrvatskoga konjaništva pod stijegom Serenissime te da ovdje provedena raščlamba teži pridonijeti boljemu poznavanju vojne povijesti Dalmacije (u konkretnome slučaju grada Splita) i Mletačke Republike u posljednjemu stoljeću njihova opstojanja u zajedničkoj državi., As part of the study of the military history of Dalmatia and the Venetian Republic through several centuries of existence in a common state union, the share of Croats in the Venetian military forces has been assessed as extremely significant. Operating as the local (territorial) units, as well as members of professional forces (Fanti oltramarini – infantry; Croati a cavallo, Cavalleria Croati – cavalry), soldiers from Dalmatia made a notable contribution to the preservation of Venetian territorial acquisitions from Veneto (terraferma) to the south of the eastern Adriatic coast. Investigation of this issue is complex and requires an analysis of documents stored in the Archivio di Stato di Venezia and the State Archive in Zadar, as well as other Croatian and international archival institutions and libraries. Following several years of research on this issue, this paper focuses on the role of Spalatans in the Croatian cavalry under the standard of St Mark in the 18th century, and is based on an analysis of sources from the collection of Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli in the central Venetian state archives. Based on the said documents, as well as previous historiographical insights, the author focuses on the time frame of the Spalatans’ participation in the abovementioned cavalry unit, the method of their documentation, the duration of military service, the share of members from the same families, personal (physical) features of soldiers, the location of their documentation, and the command staff of the units in which they operated. The presence of Spalatans in Venetian cavalry can been observed throughout the century, while the places of their activity (documentation) reflect the distribution of Venetian acquisitions from the terraferma through Dalmatia and the Bay of Kotor to Greece, also testifying to the mobility of elite Venetian land units. The Spalatan cavalrymen fit into the wider sample of Croatian soldiers in the land forces of the Serenissima at that time in terms of age and personal (physical) features. The lists of soldiers reveal various aspects of the military careers of individual families such as the length of their military service, their career advancement, as well as a number of surnames that we believe can be an interesting source for studying the onomastics of Split during the period in question. The conclusion of the paper is that the Spalatans formed a very notable part of the Croatian cavalry under the standard of St Mark and that the analysis conducted here contributes to the military history of Dalmatia (in this case the city of Split) and the Venetian Republic in the last century of living in a common state.

Središnja tema rada usmjerena je na raščlambu udjela Sinjana i Cetinjana u mletačkim prekomorskim kopnenim postrojbama (pješaštvo i konjaništvo) u 18. stoljeću. Rad se zasniva na raščlambi izvornoga arhivskog gradiva pohranjenoga u Archivio di Stato di Venezia, a riječ je o popisima pripadnika pojedinih vojnih postrojbi koje je provodila nadležna državna magistratura Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli. U uvodnome dijelu rada ukratko se iznose opći podatci o mletačkim prekojadranskim postrojbama, dočim je središnji dio teksta usmjeren na raščlambu konkretnih primjera prisutnosti Sinjana i Cetinjana u mletačkoj kopnenoj vojsci. Analizira se njihova ukupna brojnost tijekom 18. stoljeća, učestalost spominjanja u izvorima, iznose opći podatci o zapovjednicima postrojbi, mjesta djelovanja te se ukazuje na neka opća obilježja onovremenih vojnika (dob, statura i drugo). U prilogu rada donosi se cjelovit pregled svih Sinjana i Cetinjana (prema dosadašnjim istraživanjima) zabilježenih u mletačkim kopnenim vojnim snagama., The central purpose of this paper is to analyze the participation of the people from Sinj and from Cetina Border in the Venetian overseas ground forces (infantry and cavalry units) in the 18th century. It analyzes the original source material kept in Archivio di Stato di Venezia – the lists of members of particular military units made by the competent magistracy (Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli). The introduction provides general information on the Venetian overseas troops in Eastern Adriatic, while the central part of the paper analyzes the specific examples of the Sinj and Cetina Border soldiers in the Venetian ground forces. The analysis is focused on their overall numbers in the 18th century, the frequency of their mention in the sources, general information on their unit commanders, places of deployment, and some general characteristics of the soldiers of the period (age, stature etc.). The appendix to the paper contains a complete list of the people from Sinj and Cetina Border (based on the research carried out so far) recorded in the Venetian armed forces.

Autori u radu, na temelju izvorne građe, rekonstruiraju vojnu karijeru trojice članova trogirske plemićke obitelji Michieli Vitturi (pukovnika Vicka, potpukovnika Nikole te kapetana Jerolima Franju), časnika mletačkih profesionalnih prekomorskih pješačkih postrojbi Oltramarina. U prvom dijelu rada autori nastoje, prateći vojne karijere spomenutih časnika, uočiti i objasniti neke promjene u organizacijskoj strukturi mletačke vojske posljednjih godina postojanja Mletačke Republike. Ponajprije je riječ o promjenama proizašlima iz potrebe Republike da jačanjem svoje vojske zaštiti vlastitu neutralnost i talijanske granice od prijetećih vojski europskih sila sukobljenih u Revolucionarnim ratovima. U drugom dijelu rada donosi se struktura pukovnija, odnosno satnija kojima su spomenuti časnici zapovijedali. Naglasak je pritom upravljen na zavičajno podrijetlo časnika, dočasnika i običnih vojnika koji su popisani od strane mletačke državne magistrature za novačenja (Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli) te se s tim ciljem donosi više grafičkih prikaza udjela pojedinih regija (ponajprije su to one na istočnojadranskim mletačkim stečevinama) u istraživanim satnijama, a na kraju rada objavljuje nekoliko popisa vojnog ljudstva satnija rečene trojice mletačkih časnika iz obitelji Michieli Vitturi., The central theme of the paper is focused on the part of the military career of the children from the Trogir noble family of Michieli Vitturi: Colonel Vick (born in 1754), his cousin Lieutenant- Colonel Nikola (born in 1721), and Nikola’s son, Captain Jerolim Franjo (born in 1755). They all served as officers of the Venetian overseas land units (Fanti oltramarini) in the last decades and years of the Venetian Republic rule. The work is based on the reading and analysis of material kept in the State Archives in Zadar (the Governors-General of Dalmatia and Albania and the Zanchi Family Holdings), and above all the material from the State Archives in Venice ( the holdings of Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli). In the first section of the paper, mostly based on the existing knowledge of historiography, the primary biographical data about the family of Michaeli Vitturi is briefly presented. Then the military careers of Colonel Vick, Lt. Col. Nikola and Captain Jerolim Franjo are discussed in the order corresponding to the height of their military rank. Particular attention is paid to the Venetian registers of their military personnel, and the structure of individual regiments and their pertaining companies is presented. Furthermore, an essential component of the paper is the comment (given through percentage calculations and graph displays) on the native origin of thecompany soldiers commanded by the mentioned above members of the Michieli Vitturi’s family. Our analysis indicates that - with the expected predominance of soldiers from Dalmatia- members of territorial forces (cernide) were occasionally operating in some of the companies. They, however, were attached to the professional structure of infantry units due to the war turbulence in the north of the Apennine Peninsula at the very end of the Venetian Republic. These were mostly ordinary soldiers from the rural parts of Istria (Buzet region of Karst) and Dalmatia (villages in the Zadar hinterland, the area of Neretva and others). We believe that the study of their names and surnames, thanks to the well-kept registers, are an additional contribution to the knowledge of local communities from the Istrian north to Boka Kotorska. The final section of the paper presents several complete lists of military personnel of the troops commanded by three Venetian officers from the Michieli Vitturi family.

Središnja tema rada usmjerena je na rekonstrukciju vojne karijere Antuna Markovića, vojnog inženjera i pukovnika mletačke vojske. Rad se zasniva na uporabi raznovrsnog gradiva iz Archivio di Stato di Venezia i Državnog arhiva u Zadru, kao i na osnovi uvida u postojeća saznanja historiografije. U prvom dijelu rada rekonstruira se vojna karijera Antuna Markovića s posebnim naglaskom na njegovu službu vojnog inženjera, a potom se – tragom neobjavljenih izvora, prate i analiziraju postrojbe Oltramarina kojima je Marković kao kapetan i pukovnik zapovijedao. U prilogu rada donosi se nekoliko popisa pripadnika njegovih satnija u vrijeme djelovanja kao kapetana i pukovnika., The research is focused on the life and active operation of Antun Marković, military engineer and senior infantry officer (even colonel in the latest phase) in Venetian Army. Though he is not an unknown name in historiography, this paper combines the already known facts with an extended analysis of new and yet unused archive material. The authors have primarily used documents from the State Archives in Zadar (mainly the holdings Governers-general for Dalmatia and Albania) and the Archivio di Stato di Venezia (the holdings Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli). In the first part of the paper, the authors analyze in detail the state and the development of military engineering in the wider, European context; they further indicate to the position of military engineers in the territory of Venetian Dalmatia in the 18th century, after Venetian-Ottoman wars. A major part of the paper, resting mainly on the archive material from Zadar, follows the activities of other members of the Marković family in the early modern period, as well as the beginnings of the military career of Antun Marković, who probably originated from Budva. Attention is furthermore paid to the system of military entrepreneurship, which was in that era spread across Europe, including Venetian lands, and in which members of the Marković family had undoubtedly participated. The second part of the paper, based on the documents from central Venetian archives, concentrates on Antun Marković’s military career – from his post as captain (from the 1720s onwards) until he achieved the rank of colonel in the late 1740s or at the beginning of the 1750s. The composition of companies (within the regiment) under the command of nobleman Stjepan Buća from Kotor is analyzed, followed by the military manpower of the regiment, and Marković’s own company as colonel. The paper concludes with several lists of names of members of his companies during his posts as captain and colonel.

U ranome su novovjekovlju, a ponajprije u doba mletačko-osmanskih ratova, okosnica mletačkih prekojadranskih kopnenih snaga bile postrojbe pod nazivom Fanti oltramarini i Croati a cavallo (Cavalleria Croati) pri čemu su njihovo ljudstvo većim dijelom činili časnici i vojnici zavičajem s mletačkih posjeda od Istre do Albanije. U ovome radu središnje je istraživačko zanimanje usmjereno na albanske vojnike u navedenim vojnim postrojbama. Rad je zasnovan na uvidu u izvorno gradivo iz Archivio di Stato di Venezia, točnije iz fonda Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli. U radu se razmatra vremenski okvir njihova djelovanja u rečenim postrojbama, uže zavičajno podrijetlo, omjer udjela u pješačkim i konjaničkim jedinicama, kao i opće tjelesne značajke vojnika (dob, stas, boja kose). Nadalje, ukazuje se i na zapovjednike postrojbi u kojima su djelovali kao i na mjesta njihova stacioniranja odnosno provedbe popisa. U prilogu rada donosi se poimenični pregled svih do sada istraženih albanskih vojnika u mletačkim prekomorskim kopnenim postrojbama u 18. stoljeću kao i popis vojnoga ljudstva osobne satnije albanskoga pukovnika Nikole Progine iz 1783. godine., During the Early Modern Period and especially the Venetian-Ottoman wars in the 17th and 18th centuries, the axis of the Venetian land army across the Adriatic were the troops known as Fanti oltramarini and Croati a cavallo (Cavalleria Croati). They were primarily manned with soldiers and officers originating from the Venetian lands, from Istria to Albania and Greece, but there were also many soldiers from other areas, mostly those bordering on the Venetian territories. This paper focuses on the soldiers from Venetian Albania (Albania Veneta) and their role in these troops. It is based on an analysis of original documents preserved at the Archivio di Stato di Venezia, more precisely the collection of Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli – a magistracy in charge of recruiting soldiers and sending them to the wider area controlled by Venice, from Veneto to Greece. The documents include lists of officers, commanders, and common soldiers, made at regular intervals during the recruitment or supervision of troops. At this stage of research, 75 Albanian soldiers have been identified in the Venetian infantry and cavalry during the 18th century. The sources refer to them as d'Albania or Albanese, only rarely mentioning their exact place of origin. Albanians were present in infantry and cavalry throughout the 18th century (especially its first half) and mostly served in infantry troops. A considerable number occupied prominent posts (colonels, lieutenants, captains, and so on), but in most cases they were common soldiers. The regiments and companies manned by Albanians were primarily under the command of officers from Dalmatia and Boka (occasionally by Albanians), mostly from noble families that had been supplying high officers to the Serenissima for generations. The troops were stationed along the Venetian territories in the Eastern Adriatic (Dalmatia, Boka Kotorska), in the cities and fortresses all over Veneto, as well as in Greece. According to the available documents, an average Albanian soldier in the 18th-century Venetian army was a foot soldier, 26 years old, or a cavalryman in his mid-forties; in a number of examples, there were officers and common soldiers from the same families (Ginni, Giuroi, Mirdita, and others). Their military service could last for several decades. As for their physical features, which are occasionally mentioned in the lists, Albanian soldiers were mostly of a middle stature and brown-haired, which is a stereotype used to describe most soldiers originating from the Eastern Adriatic. It may be concluded that the total number of Albanian officers, commanders, and soldiers in the Venetian army was considerable, and that their role in the military history of the Eastern Adriatic and the Venetian Republic as a whole was appreciated and acknowledged. This paper is an attempt to use the unpublished and so far barely analysed archival sources to present the relevant evidence and arguments to the scholarly community and the broader public. Although it may be expected that some future research will add new names to the list of Albanian soldiers serving in the Venetian army, it will probably not significantly change the picture outlined here.

U ovom radu, zasnovanom na proučavanju gradiva iz Archivio di Stato di Venezia i Državnog arhiva u Zadru, središnja istraživačka pozornost usmjerena je na vojnu karijeru Bokelja Jerolima Smeće. Prati se Smećin put u mletačkoj službi od kadeta i zastavnika četrdesetih godina 18. stoljeća, preko višegodišnjeg obnašanja službe kapetana i bojnika u prekomorskim pješačkim pukovnijama (Fanti Oltramarini) Benedikta Paskvalija i Nikole Scutarija, do završnih godina 18. stoljeća kada je Smeća stekao čin pukovnika. U prilozima se donose prijepisi nekih od popisa Smećina vojnog ljudstva u razmaku od 1765. do 1794. godine., Fanti Oltramarini, or the overseas infantry units, have for centuries been described as the most appreciated military units of Venetian Republic. The inhabitants of the wider area of the eastern Adriatic coast formed the majority in these units, ranging from soldiers to the highest officer ranks. In this paper, based on the study of the material kept at the Archivio di Stato di Venezia and the State Archives in Zadar, the military career of Jerolim Smeća from Boka stands in the very focus of research. The paper follows Smeća’s way from cadet and ensign in the 1740s, over yearlong service as captain and major in infantry regiments of Benedikt Paskvali and Nikola Scutari, to the final years of the 18th century, when Smeća obtained the rank of colonel. The paper pays special attention to the composition of companies in Smeća’s command in individual stages of his career, and ends with transcripts of some of the lists of Smeća’s military manpower in the period between 1765 and 1794.

Središnja tema istraživanja u ovome radu rapski je plemić Jerolim Zaro, istaknuti mletački časnik (guvernadur) i kavaljer Svetoga Marka. U uvodnome dijelu teksta sažeto se prikazuje djelovanje ugledne rapske plemićke obitelji Zaro i izdvajaju njezini najzaslužniji odvjetci, a potom se – tragom historiografskih saznanja i izvornoga arhivskoga gradiva (pohranjenoga u Državnome arhivu u Zadru) – razmatraju podaci vezani za Jerolima Zaru. U prilogu na kraju rada donosi se prijepis njegova dodatka oporuke (kodicil), načinjen u Trogiru 1703. godine., This study focuses on the Rab-based nobleman Jerolim Zaro, a prominent Venetian official (guvernadur) and a cavalier of St Mark. The introduction offers an overview of the activity of Rab’s distinguished noble family of Zaro, particularly its most successful scions, followed by an analysis of archival sources related to Jerolim Zaro (preserved at the State Archive of Zadar) with references to the latest research. The appendix contains a transcription of his annex to the last will (codicil) made in Trogir (1703).

Središnja tema rada usmjerena je na raščlambu udjela vojnika iz Šibenika u mletačkim prekomorskim kopnenim postrojbama (pješaštvo i konjica) u 18. stoljeću. Rad se zasniva na raščlambi izvornoga arhivskog gradiva pohranjenog u Archivio di Stato di Venezia, a riječ je o popisima pripadnika pojedinih vojnih postrojbi koje je provodila nadležna državna magistratura Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli. Analizira se njihova brojnost tijekom 18. stoljeća, učestalost spominjanja u izvorima, iznose opći podatci o zapovjednicima postrojbi, razmatraju mjesta njihova djelovanja te ukazuje na neke opće značajke onovremenih vojnika (dob, statura i drugo). U prilogu rada donosi se cjelovit pregled šibenskih vojnika zabilježenih (prema dosadašnjim istraživanjima) u mletačkom pješaštvu i konjaništvu., During Early Modern Age – primarily in the times of Venetian–Ottoman wars in the 17th and the 18th centuries, units named Fanti oltramarini and Croati a cavallo, which were to the most part recruited from Venetian estates from Istria to Albania and Greece, formed the axis of Venetian Cross-Adriatic military land units. The focus of research in this paper is the share of citizens of Šibenik in these units in the 18th century. The paper is based on the analysis of the material deposited at the Archivio di Stato di Venezia (collection: Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli) and including complete lists of military man force in regiments and companies referring to the researched period. The analysis of the documents shows that in figures, citizens of Šibenik formed one of the largest groups of officers, non commissioned officers and soldiers of common origin in Venetian infantry and cavalry. They were continually present there throughout the 18th century, whilst many of them – such as descendants of distinguished Šibenik families – Divnić, Šižgorić, Zavorović, Semonić and others – held the highest officer posts during their fruitful army careers: they had reached the rank of colonel. The analysis further shows that army commanders renowned at that time, who also originated from Dalmatia and Boka, led the military units formed of citizens of Šibenik. These units (companies and regiments) were very mobile and positioned across Venetian land and overseas estates. The author’s conclusion is that the topic tackling the share of the Croats in Venetian military units – citizens of Šibenik in this particular case – still leaves enough room for future research and scientific analyses thanks to plentiful sources.

Rad je nastavak istraživanja hrvatsko-mletačkih pomorskih veza, posebice udjela Hrvata u mletačkoj ratnoj mornarici u ranome novom vijeku. Zasniva se na proučavanju gradiva iz Archivio di Stato di Venezia (fond Provveditori all'Armar), a u središtu zanimanja je kažnjenička galija Dolfino kojom je od 1774. do 1778. godine upravljao Šibenčanin Dujam Franjo Zek Mišević. Podrobno se analizira sastav posade broda te osobita pozornost pridaje veslačima-kažnjenicima zavičajem s istočnoga Jadrana. Popis članova posade broda te hrvatskih veslača donosi se u prilogu na kraju rada., This article continues the current research on the Croatian-Venetian maritime relations, especially the role the Croats played in the Venetian naval forces during the early modern period. It is based on the sources preserved at the Archivio di Stato di Venezia (holdings of the state directorate for the naval forces – Provveditori all'Armar) and focuses on the penitentiary galley “Dolfino”, commanded from 1774-1778 by Dujam Franjo Zek Mišević (Doimo Francesco Zech Misevich) from Šibenik. The introductory part offers some basic data on Venetian penitentiary galleys, followed by a brief account on the Zek Mišević family from Šibenik and on Dujam Franjo himself, particularly in regard to his position in the naval forces. The central part of the article is an analysis of the crew of penitentiary galley “Dolfino”, with a particular emphasis on the rowers-convicts originating from the Eastern Adriatic. For the period 1774-1778, the documents list 36 of them. They mostly came from Dalmatia and Istria, and the reasons they ended on a galley included grave criminal offences (murder, robbery, rape, and various other forms of violence). Many among them must have been sentenced to death and rowing in chains on the galley was their only alternative. The author also indicates the differences in sentences among the individual convicts and offers an analysis of the institutions on various levels of state authority (central, regional, local) that issued the verdicts. Eventually, a list of crew members serving on the galley and a table of Croatian rowers-convicts are supplied.

U radu se prati djelovanje članova dalmatinske (Kaštela) obitelji Kumbat (Kumbatović) u mletačkim prekomorskim pješačkim postrojbama (Fanti oltramarini) u 18. stoljeću. Vodeći odvjetci te ugledne vojničke obitelji bili su pukovnik i zapovjednik mletačke posade na Krfu Ivan Antun Kumbat (1684. – 1744.), njegov sin pukovnik Antun (u. 1749.) te Antunov sin Danijel Franjo (kapetan sredinom 18. stoljeća). Rad se zasniva na raščlambi izvornoga arhivskoga gradiva iz Archivio di Stato di Venezia (popisi časnika i vojnika: fond pod nazivom Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli) i Državnoga arhiva u Zadru (Spisi generalnih providura), a u istraživanje su uključene i postojeće spoznaje historiografije. U prilogu rada donose se prijepisi nekih od popisa vojnoga ljudstva iz satnija kojima su zapovijedali Ivan Antun, Antun i Danijel Franjo Kumbat., In the period of Early Modern Age, in particular during Venetian-Ottoman wars, many families originating from Eastern Adriatic had for generations been involved in various Venetian military units. Merits acquired by several decades or even one century of serving under Venetian flag made it possible for many families and individuals to achieve advancement in their careers as officers, as well as to gain prestigious titles (conte veneto) and medals (entering the order of cavaliers of St. Mark). In the focus of research is the Kumbat family of Kaštela, whose descendants in the 18th century owned prestigious ranks in Venetian infantry units (Fanti oltramarini), and received the title of conte for their merits. The paper is based on a thorough analysis of the material from the Archivio di Stato di Venezia (records of the magistrature Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli) and the State Archives in Zadar (Records of General Proveditors); mostly followed are military careers of the leading members of the Kumbat family – Ivan Antun (1684–1744), colonel and commander of Venetian forces on Corfu; his son Antun (d. 1749), colonel; and Antun’s son Danijel, captain in the 1740s. The paper further concentrates on the lists of officers and soldiers who served in the units under the command of members of the Kumbat family, while in the final part, there are reprints of some of the lists used.

Rad se zasniva na istraživanju izvornoga gradiva iz Archivio di Stato di Venezia, a riječ je o zbirci Provveditori all'Armar. U središtu znanstvene obrade je Lošinjanin Vicko Petrina (1750. – 1829.), zapovjednik ratnih brodova Cibele i Pallade u posljednjemu desetljeću opstojanja Mletačke Republike. U uvodnome dijelu rada iznose se osnovni podaci o razvoju lošinjskoga pomorstva i brodarstva kao i o obitelji Petrina i njezinim zaslužnicima. Glavni dio rada usmjeren je na raščlambu sastava brodske posade na navedenim brodovima u vrijeme kada je Petar Vicko Petrina bio njihov zapovjednik, a posebna pozornost pridaje se onim članovima posade koji su zavičajem potjecali s istočne obale Jadrana., During the early modern period, and particularly in the 18th century, many Croats were present in the highest ranks of the Venetian military navy. The earliest were those originating from Boka Kotorska (Perast), but this paper explores the activity of Captain Petar Vicko Petrina (1750-1829) from Lošinj, son of a leading family of sailors and merchants. The introductory part brings an overview of the previous historical research and offers some general data about the evolution of navy in Lošinj, as well as about the prominent members of the Petrina family, especially those who distinguished themselves in sea trade and naval military service under the flag of the Serenissima. The central part is dedicated to an analysis of the crew structure on the Venetian warships that Petrina commanded in the late 18th century. These include the small galley Cibele (1790-1793) and the frigate Pallade (1794-1797), the latter also being the last warship that bore the flag of St Mark. The structure of the crew included the following basic groups: 1) officers, midshipmen, and holders of other specialized functions on the ship (Uffiziali e Titolati); 2) first-class sailors (Marineri prima classe); 3) second-class sailors (Marineri seconda classe); 4) third-class sailors (Marineri terza classe), and 5) auxiliary sailors (Mozzi). Special attention has been paid to the crew members originating from the Eastern Adriatic, most probably from the area of Dalmatia and Boka. The annexes contain lists of crews from the warships in question.

U razdoblju mletačko-turskih ratova u ranom novom vijeku glavni grad mletačke pokrajine Dalmacije Zadar predstavljao je jedno od najjačih vojnih uporišta Republike Svetoga Marka na istočnom Jadranu. U XVII. stoljeću, razdoblju kada se odvijaju dva posebno važna i trajanjem duga mletačko-turska vojna sukoba (Kandijski i Morejski rat), u Zadru i njegovoj okolici djeluju brojne vojne posade popunjavane ljudstvom sa šireg područja tadašnjih (i bivših) mletačkih posjeda od Istre do Albanije. U ovom radu pokušat ću, tragom gradiva iz Državnog arhiva u Zadru (oporuke i inventari iz fonda Spisi zadarskih bilježnika) ukazati na prisutnost i djelovanje Barana u Zadru (ali i na širem području istočnojadranskog uzmorja) u razdoblju od druge polovice XVII. stoljeća do šezdesetih godina XVIII. stoljeća. U prilogu se objavljuju cjeloviti ili djelomični prijepisi nekoliko oporuka barskih iseljenika u Zadru., In the early modern period, during the Venetian-Turkish wars, Zadar, as the capital city of the Venetian province of Dalmatia, represented one of the most powerful military strongholds of the Republic of Saint Mark on the eastern Adriatic. In the XVIIth century, during the period when two especially significant and long lasting Venetian-Turkish conflicts took place (the Candian and the Morean war), numerous military units, assembled by men from the broader area of the then contemporary (and former) Venetian territories from Istria to Albania, were active in Zadar and its surrounding area. In this article the author, using material from the State Archive in Zadar (wills and inventories from the fund of Records of the Zadar Notaries), draws attention to the presence and the activities of a number of people from Bar in Zadar (but also on the broader area of the east Adriatic littoral) during the second half of the XVIIth century and up to the sixties of the XVIIIth century. The article describes nine wills, a codicil (supplement to a will) and an inventory that were written in Zadar in the period from 1662 to 1764. The number of people from Bar who, as direct bearers (makers of the will) of these documents, are mentioned in the documents is not large (up to nine persons). However, the total number – including indirect references to people from Bar and emigrants from the place – in the texts of the same documents is much larger. The summary analysis of the structure of professions of this group of Zadar citizens reveals a prevalence of the military profession (officers in Venetian military service). This data in large part is in agreement with the general structure of Zadar immigrants whose origins were in Venetian Albania who had moved to the city during the Venetian- Turkish wars. Although the majority of immigrants had come from the city of Bar itself (excepting one instance where the immigrant came from the vicinity of Bar), it is evident that many of them very early, even before arriving in Dalmatia and in Zadar, had lived in cities which are geographically near to Bar but which did not fall under Turkish jurisdiction (Budva, Herceg-Novi). Furthermore, the people from Bar in Zadar, as is the case with the largest number of immigrants from other areas and cities from Boka Kotorska to Skadar and Drivast, cannot be considered a classic immigrant group but as individual examples of immigration. Wills as well as other documents of people from Bar in Zadar give exceptionally valuable evidence about people but also about the space and the events that unfolded there. A careful analysis of their content, at times very extensive and complex, reveals their social status and position, their economic opportunities and professional interests, their relations with church institutions and spiritual figures, their ties with their place of origin and – above all – it gives us a full spectrum of facts about numerous families and individuals sharing a similar life and a similar fate. This is the reason why these documents are, while relevant to Bar itself and its people, also testimony about numerous other participants (frequently unrecorded or insufficiently noticed in historiography) in the turbulent (war) times on the broad space from Venice and Istria, through Dalmatia to Boka Kotorska and Albania. At the end of the article in the appendix the reader can find complete or partial copies of a number of wills made by Bar immigrants in Zadar.

Na osnovi građe iz mletačkog Državnog arhiva (Archivio di Stato di Venezia, fond: Cancelleria inferiore: Cavalieri di San Marco, Privilegi) u uvodnom se dijelu ukratko prikazuje zastupljenost Hrvata u mletačkom viteškom redu kavaljera svetoga Marka. Središnji dio rada usmjeren je na raščlambu povelja o imenovanju zadarskih plemića mletačkim kavaljerima. Dokumenti potječu iz XVII. stoljeća, a kronološkim se slijedom obrađuju zadarski kavaljeri iz obitelji Bortolazzi, Calcina, Detrico, Fanfogna, Grisogono i Rosa. Na kraju rada donose se prijepisi povelja o imenovanju zadarskih patricija mletačkim kavaljerima., In the history of the Venetian Republic Cavalieri di San Marco were the only knightly order and numerous Croats had the honor to serve as Venetien cavaliers. On the basis of material from the Venetian State Archive (Archivio di Stato di Venzia, fond: Cancelleria inferiore: Cavalierui di San Marco, Privilegi) the introductory part of the article describes the part played by Croats in the Venetian cavaliers. The central part of the article aims to analyze the charter of naming Zadar noblemen caavliers of Saint Mark. The documents derive from the 17th century and the Zadar cavaliers from the families Bortolazzi, Calcina, Detrico, fanfogna, Grissogono and Rosa are discussed in chronological order. The motivation and reasons for their naming are explained in the documents in which they are promoted to Venetian knightly dignitaries. Most frequently these are individuals who excelled in the Venetian military service or were noted as ambassadors-orators of the Zadar municipality on the occasion of the inaugurating the new doge. In the end the article presenta a copy of the charters of naming Zadar patricians as cavaliers of Saint Mark.

Tema rada jest obitelj Ginni (Gini, Ghini), zavičajem iz sjeverne Albanije, čiji su odvjetci u XVI. i XVII. stoljeću imali zapaženu ulogu u društvenoj i vojnoj povijesti u raznim dijelovima istočnojadranske obale. Rad se zasniva na raščlambi dosadašnjih saznanja historiografije i arhivskih vrela (poglavito iz Državnog arhiva u Zadru). Kronološkim slijedom prati se životni put i djelovanje ondje zabilježenih odvjetaka obitelji Ginni, pri čemu je težište istraživanja ponajprije usmjereno na razdoblje XVII. stoljeća, kada se brojni odvjetci obitelji Ginni bilježe u Zadru i u Istri (kao zapovjednici “naoružanih brodova” za nadzor plovnih putova na sjevernom Jadranu). Na kraju rada zaključuje se da obitelj Ginni, iako nedovoljno obrađivana u historiografiji, pripada među zapažene albanske obitelji ranoga novovjekovlja. U prilozima na kraju rada objavljuju se prijepisi oporuka mletačkih guvernadura Ivana (1636.) i Ivana Jerolima Ginnija (1672.), pohranjeni u Državnom arhivu u Zadru., Families who originated in regions outside the East Adriatic Coast played an important role in the history of this region. Yet we know little about them and the relevant data are often scattered in studies of other topics or in diverse archival sources. This essay discusses the history of such a family, the Ginnis, who originated in northern Albania and who, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, contributed significantly to the social and military history of Eastern Adriatic. This essay uses the secondary literature and the archival sources (from the State Archives in Zadar and the State Archives in Venice) to chronologically reconstruct the lives and the careers of the Ginni family members. The study focuses on the seventeenth century as the period when the largest number of the family members is recorded in the Istrian and Dalmatian sources. As officers in the Venetian navy, they played prominent roles as commanders (captains; governors or guvernaduri) of navy formations (barche armate), controlling sea routes in North Adriatic and fought against the uskoks of Senj. The study concludes with the observation that the hitherto little known Ginnis were an important Albanian family of the Early Modern era, whose members played significant roles in the history of East Adriatic. Appendices to this article contain transcriptions of testaments of the Venetian guvernadur Ivan (1636) and Ivan Jerolim Ginni (1672), kept in the State Archives in Zadar.
