Historical Circumstances of the Appearance of Medieval Cartularies in Croatia
Historical Circumstances of the Appearance of Medieval Cartularies in Croatia

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this work is to demonstrate at what time and under which circumstances medieval cartularies were created in Croatia. That question is of great importance for Croatian medieval studies because the cartularies contain numerous data testifying to medieval Croatian state, church, society, language, and culture. Therefore, by determining the time and circumstances of their creation one can get a reliable basis on which their role as a valuable source for Croatian and medieval history in general could be better evaluated. We will focus on several cartularies which were, and still are, subjects of studies of Croatian and certain foreign historians.
