Apolitiae (Monetary transfers)
The series consists of books that comprise the period from the middle of the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century, and is entitled Polizze Ordinarie, while Polizze Extraordinarie are also recorded a tergo. The content of the series primarily deals with the registration of various monetary transfers, i.e., payment of salaries, advances of salaries, and seemingly, also loans to all state employees of the Dubrovnik Republic, to church officials and to certain institutions such as the hospital Domus Christi and monasteries. All series of the fonds Apolitiae have not beenresearched at all so far, and thus their content is difficult to connect to other fonds and at this moment it is only possible to connect the content of this series with the series Strapazzo delle Polizze (HR-DADU-45.2). Each entry in this series contains a certain number, and a more detailed description of a specific monetary transfer can be found under this number in the series Strapazzo delle Polizze.
The reimbursement of a four-months' salary to a state surgeon Abraham in 1589 is probably the only reference to Jewish people in this series (vol. 6, f. 118).
Strapazzo delle polizze (Drafts of monetary transfers)
There are no references to Jewish people in the series.
All the series of the fonds Apolitiae have not been fully researched and it is very difficult to establish the connection between them. The only possible connection found so far is to the documents of the Apolitiae series (HR-DADU-45.1). For each entry in the Apolitiae series a certain number is recorded indicating the existence of a more detailed description of the type of compensation made to state employees of the Dubrovnik Republic at the end of the 17th century, and in certain periods of the 18th century.
Registrum apolitiarum (Register of monetary transfers)
There are no references to Jewish people in this series.
The series of the fonds Apolitiae have not been researched so far and it is difficult to establish the connection between the documents. Similar to the series Apolitiae (HR-DADU-45.1) and Strapazzo delle Polizze (HR-DADU-45.2), this series also contains documents that provide data into salaries of the state employees of the Dubrovnik Republic and into various other state expenditures. All documents that indicate monetary transfers are marked with ordinal numbers and separated on a yearly basis. The series primarily covers the period between the 70s of the 16th centuries to the beginning of the 17th century.
Apolitiae bullatae (Stamped monetary transfers)
There are no references to Jewish people in this series.
The series of the fonds Apolitiae have not been researched so far and it is difficult to establish the connection between the documents in these series. Similar to the first three series of the fonds Apolitiae, this series also contains entries of salaries of state employees as well as records of other various state expenditures. It is not evident why these monetary transactions are singled out and named as "stamped monetary transactions". Some volumes of this series are named Polizze bulate che si stracciano.
Apolitiae ligni (Monetary transfers for the purchase of lumber)
There are no references to Jewish people in the series.
The series consists of only one book with recorded entries of payments for the purchase of lumber for the needs of the Republic in 1656. The lumber in the question was mostly purchased from the island of Mljet.
Apolitiae salinariae (Monetary transfers for the purchase of salt)
The series consists of only one book with recorded entries of payments for the purchase of salt for the needs of the Dubrovnik Republic between 1799 and 1808. The book is entitled Giornale delle Polizze dell'Officio sopra la distributione de 'sali per lo stato 1799.
The book is important for the research of the involvement of Dubrovnik Jews in the salt trade during the times of the Republic. The book provides evidence that certain members of some Dubrovnik Jewish families such as Ambonetti, Cittanova, Costantini, Janni, Levi, Levi Mandolfo, Maestro, Pardo, Penso, Russi, Valenzin, Venturra, Vitali, Terni, Tolentino were involved in this trade.
Apolitiae depositorum; Polize di depositi (Monetary deposits)
There are no references to the Jewish people in the series.
The series contains registers of monetary deposits to the treasurers and legal representatives of the Cathedral. These transactions were either bequeathed to certain persons or were of some other origin (for example: references of payments of state revenue from taxes on wine trade). The first volume is entitled Libro de deposito osia versamento di denari in mani di Tesorieri et Procuratori di Santa Maria per titolo di legati e d'altri provenienti. The books cover the period from the end of the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century.
