Sažetak
Francesco Saverio de Marburg (1684? – 14th August 1751) Rijeka’s patrician, municipal councillor, archdiaconal chancellor and “di Sua Maestà Cesarea e Regia Supremo Esattore de Legname in Fiume”, that is the Imperial and Royal wood tax collector for Rijeka, dictated his last will, which is preserved in the State Archives in Rijeka, on the 10th of April 1750. He belonged to the social and intellectual elite of the 18th century Rijeka. The latter is testified not only by his famous and meticulous description of the visit of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI (1st October 1685 – 20th October 1740) to Rijeka in 1728, but also by the possession of a private library, kept in a room on the upper floor of his house situated in Contrada delli Santi Tre Re. It seems that rather bitter family disagreements motivated Francesco Saverio de Marburg to write an exhaustive testament, in which he listed all the goods he possessed. Apart from the house in which he lived and four vineyards, de Marburg owned almost 4000 Carniolan florins and rather abundant house furnishings, like furniture of the Venetian origin silver cutlery, etc. The list of the paintings with specified subjects and several wooden and gilded frames, together with a reliquary calls for particular attention because it represents the earliest known inventory of a private collection of paintings owned by a citizen of Rijeka. The entire Marburg’s testament and in particular the list of the objects with artistic value that he possessed, represents an important source for understanding the context of Rijeka’s economic, social and cultural situation of that period
