The Oldest Croatian Name of Zagreb (Regarding a Note in the Dubrovnik Archives)

Abstract

The city of Zagreb is for the first time documentary men­tioned in its adjective form Zagrabiensis in 1094, on the occasion of the foundation of the Zagreb Bishop Diocese. Since then it appears continuously in its latinized form Zagrabia. According to the results of scientific hitherto studies, the Croatian name of Zagreb was found in the Glagolitic (Old Croatian) documents of 1491 and 1496.
But in the Historical Archives of Dubrovnik the Croatian name of Zagreb appeared much earlier. In 1328 a craftsman, a hatmaker from Zagreb, stayed in Dubrovnik. The document says: Yuanus capellarius, filius quondam Andree de Sagreb.
This fact proves that the Croatian name for the city of Zagreb was dated much earlier; that the oldest Croatian name of Zagreb was noted down in Dubrovnik; that economic relations between Dubrovnik and Zagreb existed much earlier; that there was free migration of expert craftsmen between the Panonian and Adriatic areas even in the 14th century.
