During the reign of Peter I, the Republic of Venice and the Russian Empire cooperated in various fields. Primarily, however, they fortified their maritime relations, with subjects of Serenissima ...playing a major role in the creation of the modern Russian navy, passing on their knowledge and experience. Of these Venetian subjects, those from the eastern Adriatic coast were the most prominent, among whom was Matija Zmajevic (1680–1735), a representative of an influential seafaring family from Perast in the Bay of Kotor. Matija served in Russia during the reign of Peter the Great and his successors, reaching the rank of admiral and laying the foundation for the subsequent establishment of the Russian Black Sea fleet. The article introduces new archival information about his interesting and controversial personality, based on documents from the Karaman family's collection in the State Archives in Zadar. Members of the Karaman family were related to Zmajević, with especially close relations between Matija and his brother Vicko Zmajević with Matej Karaman, who himself lived in Russia for some time and left valuable written testimony about that period. The review of the works on this topic and analysis of materials from the aforementioned collection aims at encouraging historians to conduct further research into the life and works of Admiral Matija Zmajević.
Višestoljetne veze dviju jadranskih obala rezultirale su razmjenom iskustava na brojnim razinama, a kulturna djelatnost u tom je smislu svakako nezanemariva. U ovom se radu kroz specifičan aspekt ...konzumiranja kulture u gradu Zadru, na temelju čitalačkih navika jednoga od njegovih istaknutih stanovnika, gradskoga plemića i učenjaka Šimuna Ljubavca (1608. – 1663.), prikazuju intelektualne preokupacije društvenih elita na prostoru istočnoga Jadrana. Analizom inventara Ljubavčevih dobara, koji uz ostalo otkriva i njegovu bogatu privatnu knjižnicu, čitalački afiniteti ovoga učenjaka poslužit će kao paradigma za bolje poznavanje opće kulture čitanja na istočnojadranskom prostoru i definiranje njegove pozicije na relaciji kulturnih središta i periferija onovremenoga Sredozemlja.
Centuries-long connections between the two Adriatic coasts have resulted in vivid exchange of experiences, with cultural activity being one of their essential components. The aim of this paper is to use the specific aspect of culture consumption to see how cultural life in the city of Zadar, as the centre of the Venetian Province of Dalmatia and Albania, functioned in the mid-17th century, during the long Candian War (1645-1669), which proved exhausting for both warring parties – the Venetian Republic and the Ottoman Empire. Based on the reading habits of a prominent resident of Zadar, the wealthy nobleman and scholar Šimun Ljubavac (1608-1663), the paper discusses the intellectual preoccupations of the social elites in the Eastern Adriatic. As a lawyer, historian, and typical polymath of his time, Ljubavac owned a rich private library with some four hundred titles from various fields of sciences and arts, from ancient to modern authors. An inventory of his library was put together after his death and is today preserved in the State Archive in Zadar. Although such inventories are rare, which hinders a detailed comparative analysis, Ljubavac can be taken as a paradigmatic case to make conclusions about the extent to which Dalmatian scholars were able to follow the main trends in sciences and arts, which may help define the general role of the Eastern Adriatic among the cultural centres and peripheries of the Mediterranean and Europe during the given period.

Iako se bilježnički spisi kao vrlo pogodan arhivski materijal naveliko koriste u povijesnim istraživanjima, sami su njihovi tvorci u tom smislu uvelike zanemareni. Ovaj rad fokusira se upravo na rad ...javnih bilježnika kao zasebne profesionalne skupine u gradu Zadru. Kroz analizu specifčnosti njihove službe i analizu samog procesa nastanka te značenja bilježničkih spisa, članak rekonstruira određene aspekte ranonovovjekovnog urbanog društva, ali i pridonosi boljem razumijevanju ove vrijedne vrste arhivskog gradiva.

Središnja tema rada usmjerena je na udio Drnišana u mletačkim prekomorskim vojnim postrojbama tijekom 18. stoljeća (Fanti oltramarini – pješaci i Croati a cavallo/Cavalleria Croati – konjanici). Rad ...je zasnovan na raščlambi gradiva pohranjenoga u arhivu Archivio di Stato di Venezia. Raščlamba dokumenata pokazuje da su u brojčanom smislu Drnišani činili jednu od zavičajnim podrijetlom vrlo brojnih skupina u mletačkom pješaštvu i konjici. Kontinuirano su prisutni tijekom cijeloga 18. stoljeća, a ponajprije se bilježe u hrvatskom konjaništvu. Podrobno su istraženi vremenski okvir njihova djelovanja odnosno spominjanja u izvorima, dobna struktura, fizičke karakteristike, udio članova pojedinih obitelji u vojnoj službi, kao i dužina trajanja vojne službe. Raščlamba pokazuje kako su vojnim postrojbama u kojima su djelovali Drnišani zapovijedali istaknuti časnici zavičajem iz Dalmacije i Boke, a razvidno je i da su postrojbe bile izrazito mobilne i raspoređivane diljem mletačkih kopnenih i prekomorskih stečevina. U prilogu rada donosi se cjelovit pregled svih do sada istraženih drniških vojnika u pješačkim i konjaničkim snagama Mletačke Republike u 18. stoljeću.
Na podlagi notarskih listin mesta Zadar se avtor v članku ukvarja s študijem določene profesionalne skupine. Gre za vojake, katerih stalna prisotnost v mestu je bila pomembna predvsem za prevlado ...Beneške republike na vzhodnem Jadranu, obenem zaradi preprečevanja nenehnih groženj celotni regiji v obdobju pete beneško-osmanske vojne (Kandijska vojna). Omenjeni viri vsebujejo številne informacije o materialnih in socialnih razmerah vojakov, o njihovi interakciji s civilnim prebivalstvom in o vsakdanjem življenju, ki ni bilo vedno povezano z vojaškimi dejavnostmi. Z analizo smo poskušali pridobiti bolj poglobljen vpogled v to, kako je vojak zgodnje moderne dobe preživel čas izven bojnega polja, torej v družbi, ki so jo sestavljali predvsem civilisti.
