Abstract
The Republic of Dubrovnik was a tributary city-state of the Ottoman Empire with a special status close to autonomy. Members of both polities conducted their political, social, and economic affairs under the legal umbrellas of treaties and some special edicts. The institution to which Ottoman subjects and the Republic could turn to resolve issues in their reciprocal relations was the office of the emin, appointed by the governor of Bosnia to supervise the salt trade and customs formalities. The Ottoman and Dubrovnik state archives recorded possible problems arising between two or more individuals or issues concerning their legal status and responsibilities. This study bases and focuses on similar documents of this kind that I have identified.
