Sažetak
In this article, author analyzes the rules of the confraternity of Our Lady of Dobrić in a broader context of the social and economic history of Split throughout the Late Middle Ages and in the early modern period. The matricula of the afore-mentioned confraternity was assembled in the sixteenth century and presently is kept in the Archbishopric Archives of Split. The document is written on the leaf of parchment in cursive pre-humanist minuscule in Italian. Text of the matricula witness that the confraternity was founded in 1558 in the afore-mentioned church with the task to gather believers from the Dobrić district of Split. The matricula regulates the hierarchy within the confraternity that was governed by mayors and gastalds, who had precisely prescribed obligations and authorities. Moreover, this matricula contain rules of conduct for all other members of the confraternity, and these rules included discipline, solidarity and unconditional fulfillment of commitments. If someone broke rules, the offender could pay a penalty or even would be excluded from the confraternity. In the years after the foundation, some of the ordinances were reformed, and this fact indirectly witness that the membership grew, together with the influence of the confraternity within contemporary Split. At the bottom of the writing pad, on which this matricula was written, one can find three more records written with different ink and scripts. These marginal records, though poorly visible, clearly witness that the matricula was in use throughout a considerable time and that its ordinances were reviewed and changed due to the needs of the confraternity.
