The Professional Formation of Public Notaries in Dalmatia from the Second Half of the Twelfth Century to the End of the Fourteenth Century

The article demonstrates the development of the institution of notarial service on the eastern coast of Adriatic, in the area from the Kvarner Gulf to the island of Korčula, in the period from the second half of the twelfth century to the end of the fourteenth century, during which the most important processes in its formation occurred. That development is discussed through several questions, such as the numeric ratio between ecclesiastical and secular notaries and how this ratio changed during that period ; the professional education of notaries ; and the numeric ratio between native and foreign notaries, along with an analysis of the origins of foreign notaries. The article is based on the analysis of both published and unpublished notarial documents. The greatest part of those published may be found in a valuable series of the Codex diplomaticus regni Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae, containing charters for Croatian history until the end of the fourteenth century.
