Summary/Abstract: In the rich legacy of historian and priest Makso Peloza, PhD, the supplement to the will of George Samsa (originally: Giorgio Samsa) from the village of Male Mune is preserved. This statement of the testator’s last will was written down by a local priest in 1754 in front of witnesses. In addition to providing an insight into the past of inheritance relations, it is a multifaceted valuable resource for researching the history of daily life in the area of the Opatija Karst to which the village of Male Mune belongs, especially given the rarity of such archival material.Starting with the content analysis of the will, the authors will provide an overview of the territorial and church affiliation of the village of Male Mune in the mid-18th century. The authors will also present the anthroponyms and microtoponyms recorded in the will, which continue to exist even today.
