Abstract
Medieval laws are an important source for studying the culture and history of a particular area. In addition, they represent significant sources for dialectological research and research in the field of contact linguistics. This paper analyses the representation of Italianisms in three legal documents from the region of Liburnia: The law of the town of Kastav (1400), The Veprinac law (1507) and The law of the Mošćenice commune (1637). The aim is to excerpt and etymologically and lexicologically analyse a part of Italianisms from the semantic field of law. The term Italianism in this paper includes borrowings from Venetian and Italian. Paper aims to determine both immediate and distant etymology of lexemes.
