Abstract
The principal goal of this article was to determine relations and connections between emigrants from the Eastern Adriatic coast (primarily from the Croatian historical lands) in Venice with the local church and monastery San Daniele of the Augustin order during the late Middle Ages and Early modern times. Timeframe of the investigation covers mainly the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The analysis is based upon unpublished sources from the Archivio di Stato di Venezia, which includes last wills (Notarile testamenti), Venetian cadasters from the Early modern times, as well as documents kept in the archival fund of the former monastery San Daniele. The introductory part of the study delivers a general overview of the used archival sources, determines the goal of the research, and provides an overview of history and heritage of the church and monastery. The central part of the study contains an analysis of the aforementioned documents regarding the connections of the emigrants with the church and monastery San Daniele. The most used documents are testamentary bequests that contain behests for burial within the church or monastery, but the investigation also included testamentary money bequests to the church or monastery. The study concludes that this investigation was just an attempt of additional disclosure of the religious and social daily life of the emigrants from the Eastern Adriatic coast in Venice, and a contribution to our knowledge about ecclesiastical and social communications between the two Adriatic coasts.
