There are no references to Jewish people in this fonds.
The books of this fonds contain data on money investments in foreign banks and on interest income gained from these investments. The data mainly refer to banks (monti) in Italian cities such as Rome, Naples, Venice, Genoa, Palermo, Messina, and, since the 18th century, also to the banks in Vienna.

The fonds contains books of expenditures for the maintenance of the salt basins in the Dubrovnik Republic and the costs of the fees and salaries of state employees such as guards, weighers, porters, or noblemen who managed the Salt Office, etc. The fonds also contains registers of purchases of foreign salt, registers of sales of domestic salt, registers containing entries on payments of fees to boat owners who transported the salt produced in the Republic for sale to Gabela (the Neretva River) at the end of the 16th century and in the 17th century.

The bookbinder Manuel (Emanuel Coen), who in the early 17th and the 18th centuries bound books for the needs of the Salt Office (e.g., vol. 37, no. 45), is most likely the only Jew referenced to in this fonds.

Some books of this fonds, such as the Processum matrimoniale Marusse relicte olim Antonii Bratossaglich die VIII mai 1480, Lamenti dinnanzi Giudici del Criminale 1490-1490, Lamenta Notariae 1519-1524, due to their content, in fact belong to other fonds. The books of this fonds mainly consist of complaints (Lamenti de Giutizieria) and judgments that were both reached by justicieri (Sententie de Giusticieri). Some judgments can also be found in the books of complaints. The inappropriate usage of measures and weights, the sale of goods at prices higher than prescribed, the sale of goods without the permission of the justicieri and the embarkation of goods not previously weighed are the most common topics of these complaints and judgments. The goods that are referenced to in the books of this fonds are most often various food products, soap, clothing, and similar products. The books cover the period from the beginning of the 15th to the 70s of the 17th centuries.

There are only very few references to Jewish people in this fonds. These references can mostly be found in the books of the Lamenti de Giutizieria from the 17th century. In these references Jews are usually accused of unauthorized sale of goods or sale at prices higher than prescribed (e.g., vol. 9, f. 10). An interesting fact about these references is that only first names appear in the records.

The content of this fonds has not been fully researched so far. It contains three volumes, and the first volume is completely empty, and it does not contain any documents. The remaining two volumes cover the period from 1778 to 1815 and contain entries of cash deposits made at the Chancellery. These deposits represent payments of debts and settlements of various bills. The data also indicate that only persons whose names were written on the receipts as recipients, could collect the money at the Chancellery. According to the information available, the debtor would deposit the money at the Chancellery in situations when it was necessary for the other party to perform a certain action before receiving the money.

The fonds contains very little information about Jewish people, and the data found primarily refer to various aspects of their business at that time. References to certain members of various Ragusans Jewish families such as Costantini, Janni, Luzzena, Maestro, Pardo, Terni, Tolentino can also be found. For example: in 1804, Daniel Tolentino deposited 154 Ragusan ducats and 24 grossetti at the Chancellery to pay his debt to Sabato Terni, and Terni was also obliged to settle all accounts, or all his debts to Tolentino, before collecting the money deposited (vol. 2, f. 224v).

There are no references to Jewish people in the fonds.
The documents of the fonds consist of an inventory of weaponry and ammunition, a list of soldiers, a list of foreigners in the Dubrovnik military service (barabanti), some documents with cost estimates for purchase of weaponry, payment of military salaries, or maintenance of fortifications and warships. The registers cover the period from the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century.

There are no references to Jewish people in the fonds.
The fonds contains monastery accounting books, books of the Dubrovnik Archdiocese and various decisions of church administrative bodies (e.g., decisions on the organization and daily activities of monasteries). The books of the fonds were created in the period from the 14th to the beginning of the 19th century.

The fonds consists of treasury journal and accounting books of the Foundation from the 14th to the 19th centuries. These documents contain data on calculations of income from principal invested in foreign banks; calculations of income from renting residential premises, business premises and land. They also contain books of expenditures and income and accounting books of individual foundations that were an integral part of the Foundation Opera pia. The fonds also contains books with official letters written by the state treasurers and legal representatives of the Cathedral to Dubrovnik consular and diplomatic representatives, agents and confidants in Italian and Ottoman cities and in Vienna (Copia lettere dei Signori Tesorieri e Procuratori di Santa Maria Maggiore). Primarily, the topics of these letters were financial investments in Italian and Viennese banks, or investments in the Venetian mint and companies in charge of customs leasing, or in charge of the purchase of expensive Italian fabrics and fragrant oils intended for diplomatic gifts to Ottoman dignitaries; financial transactions for the settlement of the tribute to the Ottoman sultan; and for slave redemption.

The fonds does not contain a large amount of data on Jews, but the data in the fonds primarily relate to the private and business lives of the Dubrovnik Jews, as well as to their cooperation with the authorities of the Republic. Part of the data can be found in the income books of the foundation, in which the revenue from renting apartments, business premises and land is stated. References to Jews can also be found in the books of maritime affairs (18th and 19th centuries). The books contain references to Ragusan Jewish families such as Ambonetti, Cittanova, Costantini, Janni, Levi Mandolfo, Maestro, Pardo, Russo, Tolentino, Valenzin (vols. 25, 58, 36, 111, 118, 119, 125, 134, 135). In these documents the Jewish community appears as a debtor for business premises (1811-1812) (vol. 135, index, letter S). Two volumes are particularly important for the research of business affairs of the Jewish population in Dubrovnik: vol 125 (Conti Marittimi del 1789; Arboracci, Divisioni e Rimese), which lists the co-owners of Dubrovnik ships and their co-ownership shares in the period from 1789 to 1794, and vol. 134 (Libro di Negotio del 1781) in which Salvator Levi Mandolfo and Benedict Volterra are repeatedly mentioned as traders in leather, wool, and rice (e.g., vol. 134, f. 29). One part of the data that provides the information about the Jews, which speaks of their cooperation with the state authorities, is found in the books that contain letters of the treasurers of the Cathedral to the agents and confidants of the Republic in Ancona. There are references to Jews in the 18th century, mostly to Aaron and Moshe, who were the sons of an eminent Dubrovnik merchant Raphael Coen. Reference is also made to Raphael's grandson Felix. Aaron, Moshe, and Felix lived in Ancona and performed various jobs for the Opera Pia Foundation (e.g., vol. 40, August 30, 1790).
