Summary/Abstract: This paper attempts to extend what was previously known about the business dealings of Catalans in Dubrovnik, based on the data previously ignored. These are trade records of the Caboga brothers (1426-1433) from the Dubrovnik Archive, the oldest preserved copy of double accounting in the area inhabited by South Slavs. From the trade records of the Caboga brothers, who dealt in precious metals from Serbia and Bosnia, we find out that Catalans from Dubrovnik, as well as the ones from Venice, played an important role in their business. Trade between the citizens of Dubrovnik and Catalans in Dubrovnik and Venice, including trade in precious metals from Serbia and Bosnia, was undoubtedly more developed than previously assumed. From the Caboga brothers trade records, we also find out about the financial transactions that took place in Venice, as well as about the names of the banks in Venice (in bancho di ser Goane Horsini; in bancho di Priuli), where the Dubrovnik and Venice Catalans had their business.
