Прилог титули "dominus" у Котору (14-15. век)
A Contribution to the Question of Title "Dominus" in Kotor (XIV-XV Centuries)

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of source material from Archives of Kotor and Dubrovnik (Ragusa), the Cadastral Book of Grbalj (so-called Roanne Manuscript, 1457) and the Statute of Kotor, we tried to show to whom and where the title „dominus“ (lord) was given in Kotor. The example of the members of the famous Kotor family Buća (Bucchia) was used (protovestiarios Nikola Buća and his close relative Tripe Buća). The title was succeeded by Nikola’s heirs and the heirs of his son Peter, who were also protovestiarii. The knez of Kotor, who was a stranger in the city, also bore the title „dominus“. Important office of judge in Kotor was reserved for the most influential noble families (Bucchia, Drago, Pasquali, Bisanti and others) who held the title „dominus“ in the late XIV and early XV centuries, which was a sign of social status and reputation.
