Sažetak

In this article the author describes the most important phases in the development of the Dominican confraternities in Dubrovnik. The most infl uential was the confraternity of rosemary, which prime task was to take care of the material goods, though it also had a
religious character. Author shows development of this confraternity and reveals its importance in the religious life of Dubrovnik. This description includes remarks to the church of St. Rosemary and its role in the religious and political life. In the description of the
development of the confraternity of the Name of Jesus, author delivered its main activities in order to compare its infl uence to other confraternities from the period. The last confraternity
that is treated in this article is confraternity of the Angels’ Army. It was the most recent Dominican confraternity, and it was founded in order to maintain purity, fi nding inspiration in the work of St. Thomas Aquinas. All these confraternities had an important
role in the daily life of Dubrovnik, and each of them infl uenced some other part of the religious and social life of the city.
