Abstract

The author presents the complete text of the will of Mihajlo Pešić, the Dubrovnik cartographer and priest. The document is filed in the testament series at the History Archives in Dubrovnik. It produces the state of his property, the books and manuscripts that served him as references. Pešić was among the negotiators at the 1718 peace conference in Požarevac. This experience he documented in his Diary published in 1952. He is the author of the historical and geographical map of the Dubrovnik Republic, the only one that survived to the present day and certainly the only one drawn by a Dubrovnik citizen. The map is kept at the History Archives in Dubrovnik.
