Fait partie de Naula et securitas Notariae et Cancellariae (Maritime transportation insurances registered at the Public Notary and the Chancellery)
The series contains records of maritime transportation insurance of merchandise that mainly arrived from the area of the Ottoman Empire and was transported to Italian ports, mostly Ancona and Venice. The records contain the following data: name of the sales representative, name of the merchant, i.e., the owner of the merchandise, sometimes even the name of the city where the merchant lived, details of the merchandise (type and quantity), place of loading, name of ship, name of captain, place of unloading, name of insurer and price insurance. The records of the series date from the period from the 60s to the 30s of the 17th centuries.
Between 1564 and 1646 an approximate number of 4,000 maritime insurance contracts were registered which show references to Jewish population. Most of these records are part of the series Naula et securitas Notariae (HR-DADU-54.2). A very small part of these records, approximately a dozen of them, were recorded in this series which consists of only 6 volumes. Jews appear in this series in the role of both: merchants and trade representatives. Jewish names belong to certain members of Ragusan Jewish families such as Benaso, Bono, Ergas, Feri, Levi, Saba, Sabadul, Trigo, who were residents of different towns Dubrovnik, Leš, Sarajevo, Skopje. Related to the type of merchandise that was shipped to Ancona via Dubrovnik, it mostly consisted of wool, wax, and various types of leather.
