Sažetak
The hygienic and epidemiological circumstances of the Dubrovnik's Republic were under the same influences as those of the Medieval World with whom Dubrovnik’s maritime affairs, traffic and merchandise were in contact. Dubrovnik very early started to think about protection of the city from infectious diseases. Dubrovnik initiates quarantine measures in 1377 ; very soon afterward Venice made a similar decision, though the first quarantine would be built later. Following the regulations, every boat had to have „patente libera“ which is something similar to the yellow card of today. Without this card one could not enter the city harbor. The first hospital for travelers was built. The Republic hose the first sanitary ship control and limited white slavery market. The seamen were punished if they traveled to the harbors where contagious diseases existed. It is a walk through Medieval history full of dates and curiosities which, somehow, predetermined today's travel medicine.
