Abstract
A copy of the land register of Kotor commissioned in 1457 by the Venetian Governor of Kotor, Giovanni Balbi, is kept in the Municipal Library of the French city Roanne. The copy was authored by the Venetian notary and chancellor based in Kotor, Giovanni di Luxia. It features illustrations representing St. Trifun, the patron saint of Kotor, the lion of Saint Mark, the symbol of Venice and the coat of arms of the Balbi family. Based on a comparison with a number of other works, the author attributes this illustration to Lovro Dobricevic, a painter who lived and worked in Kotor and Dubrovnik. This piece of Dobricevic's work in a very important legal document of the City of Kotor complements our previous knowledge on the last years of the painter's stay in his native city.
