ARCHIVE RECORDS ON THE 14TH CENTURY GOLD IN SPLIT AND ZADAR

Sažetak
Largely using the existing archive materials from the Historical Archives in Zadar, the author attempts to illustrate the lives of two goldsmiths active from the 1360s to 1380s. They worked together in Zadar and even shared a workshop.
Both came from the opposite Adriatic Coast: Ivan, son of Gerardino, arrived from Pesaro, and Celio Sorleoni came from Rimini, Ivan Gerardino lived for a while in Split where he made a silver retable for the main Cathedral altar with relief figures of saints. Four interesting documents provide evidence on this work. The commissioners were not satisfied with the gold-plating of the altarpiece figures and sent three of the figures to Venice for expert judgment. The work was pronounced satisfactory. It survived until the beginning of the 18th century when it was destroyed,
There are more documents on Celio: two contracts on his apprenticeship, several documents on his private life, yet none on his work as a goldsmith, One document concerns the sum paid to free a prisoner of the Genoese in 1380, during the war on the Adriatic; another, drafted after his death, in 1384, mentions three golden rings and two silver jugs he had pawned.
