Abstract
Researches of every day life in the past also cover marriage contracts listing the bride's portion found in archives from 15th till the 19th century. The portion (dota) was the bride's agreed possession given by her parents when leaving her family home upon marriage. Such lists reveal a number of facts from every day life and considerably help in knowing the culture of dressing, living and customs.
