The present article investigates the interplay between the institutional framework of the Venetian Stato da mar and the commercial practices in the early modern Adriatic. Using the example of the city of Zadar, then known as Zadar and the capital of Venice’s dual province of Dalmatia-Albania, the following issues are discussed : In a first step the integration of the merchants into the social fabric of urban society is discussed, placing special emphasis upon the interactions between the judicial framwork as detailed in the city’s statutes and business practices. In the second part, a number of examples drawn from the protocol books of Zadar’s notaries, preserved in the Croatian State Archive in Zadar, is presented to illustrate the intricacies of commercial exchange in sixteenth-century Dalmatia.
Sadrži Expositio totius mundi et gentium (4. st.): (str. 119) Post hanc paulo superius Dalmatia est: quae in negotiis eminens esse dicitur. Caseum itaque Dalmatenum et tigna tectis utilia, similiter et ferrum, tres species, cum sint utilia, habundans emittit. Et habet civitatem splendidam Salonam : Dyrrachium enim propter habitantium malitiam a deo mari mersa, ut dicunt, descendit, et non apparuit.
