A Number of Unpublished Documents by the Scrivener Marko Barić from Poljica
Milko Brković
Sažetak
In an ongoing series of articles concerning the unpublished documents from Poljica on the present occasion we have isolated fourteen documents by the Poljica prince and scrivener Marko Barić which will be dealt with in a chronological order from the diplomatic and from the general historical point of view. The author transcribes them into the Latin alphabet and for the first time presents facsimiles of their originals. The cancelliere or scrivener Marko Barić worked in the Poljica Republic during the second part of the first and during the first part of the second half of the 18th century. Throughout this period he was the prince of Poljica and afterwards both the great prince and the public scrivener of Poljica which is a rarity not only for Poljica but for other administrative units of particular state regions. In his own handwriting he wrote in the Bosnian or the Croatian Cyrillic script or received a series of documents with various contents pertaining to Poljica. These documents are mostly sale contracts which he labeled as letter, book and mandate. The documents composed by Marko Barić are rich in standardized diplomatic formulas which evinces his thorough education and literacy. This is the reason why the author feels justifies in the choice of analyzing his diplomatic material. Of the fourteen targeted documents belonging to Marko Barić, although we can say with certainty that he wrote more or was the person to whom they were addressed, for a number of them it is explicitly stated that he wrote them while for the rest it is not clear whether he wrote them or whether he only put his signature to them as the acting Poljica prince. Because of this the author gives a detailed diplomatic-paleographic analysis with a historical background for those for which it is explicitly stated that he wrote them, while the rest are described by giving their general diplomatic and historical characteristics. Barić’s documents presented here, as is the case with all Poljica documents, content-wise abound with surnames and toponyms.
