Personal Social and Legal Statuses in Eastern Adriatic Cities: Norms and Practices of Zadar in the Mid-14th Century
The medievalist focus on the position of individuals in late medieval Eastern Adriatic cities is not new. Moreover, treatments of this topic can be roughly divided into two main groups, normative and documentary. In what follows, I will problematize the concepts of both, with a view to a clearer understanding of both the position of individuals and the social dynamics of the city. I will thereby first focus on the historiographical criterion of length of stay in the city as a basis for social inclusion and/or improvement of one’s position. In addition to the analysis of selected cases previously considered by the medievalists, I will further substantiate my considerations with selected cases from Zadar’s notarial records. I will thus suggest that the late medieval society perceived the position of an individual as much more complex than simply satisfying the norm with the aim of situating a person within a largely monolithic/immobile social class, as the medievalists have generally concluded based on their analyses of the city statutes. Accordingly, I will forward a basic hypothesis that the normative values did not firmly define the position of an individual in the Eastern Adriatic city of the 14th century, but rather that the norms were adapted to the place that the individual occupied in the society. This is how the socio-legal position was shaped, which is crucial for our understanding of the actual position of an individual in the urban society.
