Sažetak

The old Korčula archive contains four sets of documents produced by the communes chancery in the early 15th century. These sets consist of a wide variety of records, many of which are very rare in the archives of other Croatian medieval communes. The most important ones refer to the collection of the tithe, the armament of the town
and the collection of municipal revenues. Despite the diversity of their content, these sets represent, as the archive inventory names them, the Accounting Records of the Korčula Commune.The records on the collection of revenues and the payment of municipal expenses are particularly interesting. The way this was done in Korčula
differs considerably from the practice in other municipalities. While in other communes municipal clerks called kamerari were in charge of these duties, the preserved reports of municipal clerks called placari and kolektori provide evidence that these clerks were in charge of collecting revenues on the island of Korčula. The said reports of these clerks are not the books of revenues and expenses like those kept by other communes. However, their content is so similar to those books that it leads to the conclusion that they were either modified to fit the circumstances on the island and were kept in the KorËulan way or were materials which the kamerari used for
compiling real books of revenues and expenses.
