PETAR RUNJE
Abstract
Using notary documents from the State Archive in Zadar and the Provincial Third Order Franciscans Archive, the author gives data about Third Order Franciscans who were public notaries. Presented in this article is the work of Brother Martin Knežić, Brother Bernadin Orlović, Brother Matej from Lošinj and Brother Simun Klimantović. Here are also mentioned other third order brothers and priests who were working as notaries especially in writing last wills and testimonies. During the middle ages there were many notaries in coastal communities who came from different regions, especially from the Apennine peninsula, but this article emphasizes the value of local people who worked as notaries confirmed by the Apostolic Set, by Palatin Counts by some other public and respected institutions.
