Sažetak
The paper explores possibilities that the narrative sources of Dalmatian towns, written before the fourteenth century, offer for the study of urban elite of this period. The main source is the chronicle Thomas the Archdeacon of Split (+1268) whose work offers a good amount of information on Dalmatian urban elite families, which can to some extent help us in making connections or in complementing their genealogies, in some cases even identify persons who were prominent in communal life, yet cannot be found in other sources. However, since he always uses this information in the context of a specific story, the best results are obtained by using diplomatic and narrative materials side by side, while keeping in mind the intentions and limitations of both types of sources.
