Sažetak
Private legal documents are one of the most relevant sources for exploring the various aspects of the social life of their drafters, but also of those in whose favour those documents had been drafted. Due to the lack of preservation of archival material created in the 19th century, exploration of the economic circumstances of individuals as well as the social community is sometimes difficult, and documents that can serve as authoritative sources are very rare. For this reason, and due to the lack of other records to serve for this purpose, testamentary records kept within the archives of the Royal Judicial Table in Osijek from 1851 to 1899 are of invaluable value in determining the economic status of the testator and their disposition in case of death in terms of valuable property rights and facilities. The legal-historical analysis of the contents of the wills in the relevant period and the comparison of the established results in this research will seek to determine the formal and legal characteristics of individual records, as well as the content characteristics that indicate the economic structure of the testator, the inhabitants of the city of Osijek in the observed period. Particular attention will be paid to the content of testamentary records, which, for their religious or charitable purpose, testify to the economic needs of citizens, but also to the economic development that characterized the social reality of that time.
