Abstract
In this study the authors have published the will of Bernard Orsat Đorđića (Dubrovnik, 1621–1687), archdeacon of Dubrovnik Cathedral. It is an extremely valuable document as Đorđić left a large portion of his estate for the furnishing of the chapel of St. Bernard in the northern transept of the Cathedral, to which he also left his precious collection of paintings by Renaissance masters. The collection was taken over by his heirs in 1694 in the name of debt owed by a Venetian merchant and collector Giovanni Alvise Raspi. The collection included works by Paris Bordone, Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo, Padovanino, Vincenzo Catena, Pordenone, Carleto Caliari and some other Renaissance and Baroque master. A Titian painting, the destiny of which has been unknown since the beginning of the 19th century, was also listed.
