There are no references to Jewish people in the fonds.
Since the establishment of the Dubrovnik commune, the authorities have undertaken various construction projects, and the fonds contains data on public construction in the period from the 16th to the 18th century. The information provided is related to the construction, upgrading and repair of waterworks, fortresses, mills, churches, monasteries, and state-owned town houses, Lazarettos in the suburbs of Ploče, as well as of the town bell tower, and the slaughterhouse. Volume 131 is entitled Fabbrica della casa in piazza apresso il Gheto, 1687 and it refers to a palace located in front of the ghetto, on the main city street called Placa. The volume contains no information either about the ghetto, or about the Jewish people.

The fonds contains books on the distribution of land done among the nobility (and more prominent citizens) after the acquisition of new areas (Pelješac, Dubrovačko primorje and Konavle) in the 14th and the 15th centuries, as well as books containing documents on the collection of rental fees for state houses in the Republic. The system of renting real estate owned by the state was established at the end of the 13th century and was improved during the 14th century. The preserved volumes of the fonds enable researchers to obtain uninterrupted monitoring of data on renting state immovable property until the earthquake in 1667. The data shows that the reconstruction of the city after the earthquake in 1667 began precisely with the reconstruction of state-owned buildings. At the same time, the authorities tried to renew the system of rent collection. However, financial difficulties forced them to sell most of the renovated houses and thus raise funds for the renovation of the main buildings of the most important secular and ecclesiastical institutions in the Republic.

One of the volumes of the fonds is found to be relevant for determining exactly the places where the Jews in Dubrovnik lived and where their shops were located. This is volume 4, entitled Tute le chase del comun de Ragusa e tereni e fiti che apartinien al ditto comun 1481-1722. The volume contains data on shops, and, to a lesser extent, on residential premises, which the Jewish people of Dubrovnik held in property during the period from 1608 till 1716, on the main city street Placa, in Kovačka ulica (Street Kovačka), on the corner of Zeljarica (Street Zeljarica) and on the ground floor of the Archbishop's Palace. Residential and business premises in the ghetto are also referenced in the documents of this fonds. According to the data, most real estate properties were leased for a period of five years. The rental amount is stated next to each property.

The fonds does not contain any data on Jews.
The fonds consists of registers covering the period from the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century, which were kept by the Wine Office and a commission in charge of controlling the planting of vines. The registers contain entries on cutting of the over-planted grape vines, on taxes on wine (gabella de vinni), data on wine smuggling and similar information (related to wine harvesting).

The series contains various accounting books and lists of state revenues from the 15th to the 19th century. In six volumes, the costs of missions to the sultan and Ottoman dignitaries from Bosnia to Istanbul were recorded, as well as the costs of missions to the Venetian general provider of Dalmatia (18th century). After a thorough consideration, accounting officers either accepted or rejected the costs, and recorded accordingly those expenditures in notebooks bearing the names Partite accetate and Partite ributtate. Rejected expenditures were sent to the Senate for further consideration.

There are only few references to Jews in this series. Those references can be only found in volumes no. 11 and 12, entitled Riscossioni dell'Officio (recoveries of state revenues, 1711-1740). In these references Jews are referred to mostly as tenants of residential and commercial premises belonging to the foundation Opera pia. A very prominent Dubrovnik merchant Raphael Coen, as well as his sons Abram and Aron (e.g. vol. 11, f. 28) are those Jewish people mostly referred to in these volumes.

The fonds contains registers of expenses related to the purchase of various types of cereals (sorghum, millet, wheat, barley), as well as the purchase of olive oil, rice, or beans. Some registers in the fonds provide information on the distribution and sale of these food products to the inhabitants of the Republic. Among other documents in the fonds, there are also registers of debtors, and various transcripts of Senate decisions regarding the purchase and delivery of food products. According to the data, domestic and foreign traders would deliver food to the Republic and the authorities of the Republic would then organize the purchase of food abroad (primarily on the Apennine Peninsula and in the Ottoman Empire) as well as its delivery to Dubrovnik. One of the responsibilities of this office was also to provide food to the poor at lower prices, either on loan or even free of charge.

There is very little information about Jews in the fonds. The data in the fonds demonstrate how Jews participated in food procurement and provide information on different ways how they benefited from the services of this office. According to the data, some members of Dubrovnik Jewish families such as Cittanova, Levi Mandolfo and Terni were involved in the acquisition and delivery of food to Dubrovnik in the 18th century. The sons of a renown Dubrovnik merchant Raphael Coen, Aron, Abram and Moshe, distinguished themselves in the process of food acquisition from Ancona. The data show that Dubrovnik Jewish community procured food using the services of this office (e.g., vol. 28, under the letter S).

There are no references to Jewish people in this fonds.
The books of this fonds primarily contain the “Principal Books of the Mint” and the “Journal with the General Ledger Book” including the information from the first decade of the 15th century to the beginning of the 19th century.

The fonds contains volumes of documents on the rent collection for state-owned buildings primarily in the northern area of Dubrovnik, as well as documents regarding the rent collection for the buildings located on the main city street called Placa. Preserved documents show data until the earthquake in 1667 thus allowing researchers to monitor renting of land and buildings owned by state. According to the existing data, the reconstruction of Dubrovnik after the earthquake began precisely with the reconstruction of state-owned buildings. At the same time, the city authorities tried to restore the system of rent collection. However, financial difficulties forced them to sell most renovated houses and, in this way, raise funds for the renovation of the main buildings of the most important secular and ecclesiastical institutions in the city. The data also show that only a few buildings on the street Placa and in the northern part of the city of Dubrovnik were state-owned after 1667.

This fonds is very important for the research of the history of the ghetto in Dubrovnik, and it also provides data on buildings outside the ghetto in which the Jewish population lived, as well as on the business premises they would lease. The ghetto of the Dubrovnik Republic was in the northern part of the city, and it was established in 1546, in the Street Lojarska. The data in the fonds allow researchers to reconstruct precisely which buildings were a part of the city ghetto and it also further indicates how, with time passing, this ghetto gradually increased or decreased in size. The Jewish community paid the rent for all the buildings that belonged to the ghetto so the precise information on actual persons who lived in those buildings was never recorded. However, the recorded data provide the names of Jews who lived outside the ghetto, specifying as well as the buildings in which they lived, or the premises in which they worked, as well as the amount of the rent they paid (e.g., vol. 14, f. 105). The data thus clearly show that Jews originally lived and did business only in the buildings or premises near the ghetto. This changed in the 18th century, when the records indicate that more Jews lived or worked in the area that encompassed the streets from the ghetto towards the street Antuninska, and there are also references to some Jews who lived in the street of Prijeko. Since a large part of the city was destroyed in the earthquake of 1667, when many buildings on Placa Street collapsed, the authorities allowed businessmen to build improvised wooden shops on the main street, several of which were evidently run by Jews.

The books of this fonds contain documents that indicate payments of salaries to state employees and other payments made in accordance with the orders of the Senate. The registers consist of so-called general ledgers with accompanying journal and directories. The books of this fonds have not been sufficiently researched and many are found to be missing. The documents in the fonds cover the period from the 16th to the 18th century.

There are very few references to Jews in the fonds, and the references found mainly refer to Jewish people who were state employees, such as e.g., Jacob Coduto, the consul of the Dubrovnik Republic in an Albanian city of Vlora (1557-1572), and a surgeon by the name of Abraham (1558-1590) (e.g., vol. 8a, letter A).
