Abstract

The family Samuelis is one of the oldest and most significant patrician families of Bar. For centuries this family took part in the social and religious life of Bar, had business connections with Kotor, Dubrovnik and Venice, and family relationships with the Kotor families Bolica and Sithi as well as the Šibenik’s family Bukulin. On the basis of data from the Historical Archives in Kotor and the State Archives in Venice, as well as historiographical literature, this essay traces the family members through centuries of extant records. This method allows us, also, to grasp the creations of social memory and segments of mental patterns of the upper social strata of this period. The annexed documents indirectly enlighten the urban and
especially cultural history of their original milieu.
