Research, Inventory and Cataloguing Documents of the Criminal Court Registers Lamenta Criminalia post terraemotum, Diversi e possesso de Criminale and Criminalia in the State Archives of Dubrovnik involving Jewish Litigants (1667-1808)

The State Archives of Dubrovnik is a treasury not just for the history of the Jews of Dubrovnik, but for the Jews from Istanbul to Venice as well. Nevertheless, not much has been done concerning the Jews of Dubrovnik, because finding and documenting relevant data requires an enormous amount of time and skills for going through hundreds of volumes in search of Jewish litigants. In 2014 Center JAS initiated a project targeting Criminal Court Registers from the mentioned Archives. The subject of this project, carried out by Vesna Miović and Ivan Čerešnješ, was the research, inventory and cataloguing of three archival series Lamenta Criminalia post terraemotum, Diversi e possesso de criminale (Criminal Court records) and Criminalia (Criminal Court verdicts) involving Jewish litigants (1667-1808), totalling 297 volumes and approximately 180, 000 pages. Within that material 816 litigations and 59 verdicts concerning Jews have been found. They provide abundant information on the everyday life of Jewish Community in Dubrovnik as well as its interactions with its gentile environment. Authors consider this research as an opening insight into the everyday life of Jews of Dubrovnik.
