These documents are (in chronological order): I. 29th March 1366, Bosnia.

Document by King Ostoja, by which he granted the Venetian tradespeople rights and privileges regarding trade in Bosnia; V. 21st December 1422, Visoko. Document by King Tvrtko II, by which he granted the Venetians his permission to trade throughout his country, guaranteeing them the safety and security of persons and goods; VI. 6th February 1423, Sutjeska.

Document by which on the same day, the Venetian emissary in Bosnia, Giovanni Zorzi, with the approval of King Tvrtko II, proclaimed the treaty regarding the agreement concluded between Venice and the King of Bosnia against Duke Ivan Cetinski; VIII. 15th April 1444, Jajce. Document by King Tomaš, by which he granted the Venetians the liberty to conduct trade in his lands; IX. 13th October 1450, Vesela Straža. Document by King Tomaš, by which he thanked the Venetian Republic for including him among its allies in the peace concluded with the King of Aragon; X. 24th October 1450, Jajce. Document by King Tomaš, by which he confirmed the peace concluded between Venice and the King of Aragon; XI. 3rd June 1456, Bosnia. Letter by King Tomaš, in which he pleaded – via his emissaries, Bishop Toma of Hvar and Nikola Testa – for Venetian help in the fight against the Turks; XII. 3rd June 1456, Bosnia. Letter by King Tomaš, in which he pleaded to the Venetian Republic to defend in unison the sons of the late Ban Petar of the Duke of Celje; XIII. 24th July 1457, Bobovac – Sutjeska. Letter by King Tomaš, by which he informed the western rulers, among them Francesco Foscari, the doge of Venice, that he had sent them his emissary Nikola Testa in connection with highly important affairs and undertakings. The author cites the texts and the translations of the documents, and analyses them from the historian and diplomatic standpoints.
