Sažetak
In the Late Middle Ages Dalmatian cities (communes) went through the period of intensive economic, scientific, and cultural progress caused by relatively stabile political circumstances particularly in the period of Angevin dominion over Dalmatia. The progress of Dalmatian cities in the period between the 13th and the 15th century is best reflected in the growing economy, trade, artisans', and arts production as well as in the growth of the population of Dalmatian communes. During their flourishing in that period Dalmatian cities attracted a great number of foreign and native individuals belonging to the upper strata of communal society. These individuals were skilled and learned in best medieval schools forming some kind of elite of Dalmatian communes. In this session the main attention will be paid to three groups of elite professions (artists, notaries, and clergymen) which significantly influenced daily life in Dalmatian communal societies and created the intellectual climate in these communes. Particularly important was the fact that these individuals originated not only from Dalmatia but also from other European regions.
