O toponimima u oporukama lovranskoga notarskog ureda iz druge polovice 18. stoljeća
Toponyms in testaments at the Lovran Notary Office from the second half of the 18th century

Summary/Abstract: Documents from the Lovran Notary Office, which present a part of the Public Notaries in Rijeka and its surroundings collection, have been archived in the State Archives in Rijeka. They represent an extensive source of data for research into the history of Lovran, the Lovran surroundings and its neighbo­uring municipalities in the 18th and 19th centuries. At the same time, they also present very valuable linguistic resources. Previous research into the archival fund of the Lovran Notary Office from the second half of the 18th century has highlighted the great onymic wealth, which can primarily be found in testa­ments in Italian, as a stimulating source for different onomastic research. Sin­ce the anthroponymic material from 141 testaments written in Italian in the period from 1756 to 1796 has already been described, and since only a small part of the toponyms recorded in these testaments have been included in stu­dies on the contemporary toponymy of Lovran and the Lovran surroundings, the focus of this research paper is on the entire toponymic corpus contained in 150 testaments written in Croatian and Italian from the same time period. The paper presents the complete list and description of extracted oikonyms and microtoponyms, while an extensive microtoponymic corpus is divided by a motivational criterion as well as structural and formational criteria, in order to ultimately create an as complete as possible picture of the toponymy of the Lovran surroundings in the second half of the 18th century.
