ITALIJANI - DUBROVAČKI LJEKARI U SREDNJOVJEKOVNOJ BOSNI
ITALIANS - THE DUBROVNIK PHYSICIANS IN MEDIEVAL BOSNIA

Summary/Abstract: Bosnian rulers and feudal lords were cured at their request by physicians in the permanent service of the Republic of Dubrovnik. They were both local people and foreigners, mostly Italians. The records of the Historical Archive in Dubrovnik show that in the period from 1323 to 1460 there were 13 Italians - the Dubrovnik physicians - at the Bosnian feudal courts, eight of whom were physics, three were surgeons, one barber, and one was attributed generally as a »medicus«. Their visits were financed by the Dubrovnik government or by the sick feudal lord himself. Quite often a special fee was given to them after the treatment.
