Пословање Каталонаца из Манфредоније у Дубровнику од 1420. до 1520. године
Business Dealings of Manfredonian Catalans in Dubrovnik, 1420-1520

Summary/Abstract: Based on the Dubrovnik archival sources, the author presents economic ties between Dubrovnik and the Manfredonian Catalans. The basis of their contacts was the transport of grain, to a lesser extent oil, salt, and wool, and, in exceptional cases, pepper. Catalans did not apply “tied arrangements” — that is to say, they did not immediately follow importing into Dubrovnik with the export of the Balkna products from it (like leather, wax, and metals), because they took the cash with them, and less often, silver. They hired young men who frequently continued to work in Dubrovnik, with procurers. At the time, Manfredonia was not the place for cashing the stocks, so the money was taken away. The most famous Manfredonian Catalan was Perotto Toriglie, consul on several occasions, who was in 1513 murdered in Dubrovnik for political reasons.
