Sažetak
Not much is known of the complex relationship between Dubrovnik’s elite and the city’s ecclesiastical institutions: the questions of who founded or renovated churches in the earliest period, who promoted the monastic movement, and many more, remain open. This paper is a note to the complex topic of the relationship between the urban elite and Dubrovnik’s ecclesiastical institutions, viewed from the aspect of their real estate in the early medieval period. Ecclesiastical institutions in the early Middle Ages could serve as the repository of family property and identity. The ecclesiastical, political and social circumstances of that period resulted in major changes in the structure, appearance, and layout of the city, which was not only a specificity of medieval Dubrovnik. Ecclesiastical property was neither homogeneous nor unchangeable ; instead, it varied with regard to the provenance and the time period, links to particular families, locality, (dis)continuity, importance, and purpose (pious purposes or income). Evolution of the commune in the 12th and 13th centuries implied a gradual disempowernment of the Archbishop and the clergy, as well as the emergence of new administrative bodies.
