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 fonds mainly contains data on court cases with topics that could be potentially sensitive or even dangerous for the stability of the Republic, and which were the responsibility of the Minor Council. Some of these cases thus reference to investigations led against local people who, together with Uskoci, plundered the neighbouring areas under the Ottoman rule, or to investigations against those who would spy for foreign countries. This fonds also contains documents that are not of a political nature, such as, e.g., wine smuggling, quarrels, insults, and physical confrontations.

There is very little reference to Jewish people in the fonds. Some references can be found in a lawsuit and a related investigation against a sea captain from the Republic who in 1547 attempted to kill some Jewish merchants on his ship (vol. 5, f. 13), and another reference found is in a reported conflict from 1550 between a Dubrovnik physician Isaac and other Dubrovnik physicians (vol. 5, f. 164).

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 fonds is very important for the research of the history of Jews in the times of the Dubrovnik Republic since it contains two volumes related to Didacus Pyrrhus. Volume no. 42 contains a transcript of Didacus's poem De Rhacusinae urbid laudibus Carmen from a book which had been printed in Florence in 1613. Volume no. 95 contains a transcript of a short debate on the life and work of Didacus Pyrrhus, entitled Della vita e degli scritti di Didaco Pirro, altrimenti detto Jacopo Flavio Eborense. The text was written by Tomo Krša, a Dubrovnik writer and translator (1782-1826) and it was published in 1826 in Florence in _Giornale arcadio di scienze, lettere ed arti (_vol. 32, 1826). This fonds also contained a volume entitled De Didacho Pirro, Appunti which has been long lost.

The fonds is divided by centuries and covers the period from the 14th to the 19th century. It contains fragments of various books of the Chancellery and the Public Notary, wills and testaments, private letters, letters sent to the authorities of the Dubrovnik Republic from Italian and Ottoman cities, as well as some letters sent from other various parts of the territory of the Republic. Some of these documents were health certificates, petitions to the Minor Council, Criminal Court records, bills of exchange, various receipts of payments and bills.

The State Archives in Dubrovnik have preserved only a few wills and testaments related to Jews so that these documents are of great value and importance for any research related to the life of Jewish population in Dubrovnik during the Dubrovnik Republic. One of those rare documents can be found in this fonds (17th century, vol. 16, no. 8). Jewish people are also referenced in some documents related to court investigations. The fonds also shows records of several letters from the 16th century, that some Jews from Ancona wrote to a Ragusan nobleman, from the Giorgi family (e.g., 16th century, vol. 3, no. 171).
