Abstract

On the basis of wills and legacy inventories kept at the State Archives in Zadar, the author traces the presence and activity of the emigrants from Herceg Novi (small town in the Bay of Kotor, today part of Montenegro) in Zadar in the sixteenth and first half of the seventeenth century. These sources offer interesting information on the social, commercial and religious components of their lives in the new surroundings, Zadar then being the capital of the Venetian province of Dalmatia. Although scanty, these sources testify to the lively communication and migrational processes along the eastern Adriatic coast in the early modern period.
