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 series contains registers of state revenues and expenditures from the 17th to the beginning of the 19th century.

The only reference to Jewish people in this series is the reference to extraordinary taxes that had to be paid by Jews, sea captains and Orthodox community of the Republic in the 60s and the 80s of the 18th centuries for the costs of protection against the plague (e.g., vol. 5, f. 12v).

Given the fact that the Dubrovnik Republic bordered the Ottoman Empire along its entire border line, it is not surprising that there were many situations, such as robberies, murders, armed and physical conflicts, debts, usurpation of fields and pastures, in which both judicial authorities had to intervene, those of the Republic and those of the Ottoman Empire. For this reason, the State Archives in Dubrovnik is in possession of a large collection of reports, petitions, and investigations of kadis. Most official documents were written by the kadis from Ljubinje and Herceg Novi. The remaining documents were written by other Bosnian Herzegovinian kadis, as well as by the kadis from today’s areas of Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, Egypt, Turkey, Hungary, Albania, Greece, and Bulgaria. The documents of this subseries cover a long-time span: from the last decades of the 15th century to the beginning of the 19th century. These documents are a first-class archival source for exploring all aspects of everyday life as well as other facts pertaining to the life or coexistence of people in the bordering countries.

Jewish people are mentioned in this subseries in only a small number of documents related to court investigations, for example in a document issued in 1580 by the kadi of Plovdiv on the trade conflict between two people named Vicko and Solomon, and in another document from 1571, issued by the kadi of Herceg Novi, on the murder of Menachem Maraz, who was killed in Dubrovnik by Benvenisti Nasci (vol. 4, no. 474; vol. 11, no. 796).

The subseries contains approximately 180 documents issued by popes, Hungarian and other rulers, the Rector and the nobility of the Republic, the Chancellery of the Dubrovnik Republic, as well as the Chancellery of the City of Lastovo. The content of the documents is very diverse: from wills, documents on land sales and land leases, to receipts of payment for the tribute that the Republic paid to Hungarian rulers.

The subseries contains documents and letters issued by popes and other church dignitaries, rulers of states in the Dubrovnik hinterland and rulers of other Christian countries, merchants and other businessmen and private individuals who resided mostly in Dubrovnik.

The subseries contains letters to state and church authorities of the Republic sent in the 16th century by popes and cardinals of the Papal States, Hungarian and other kings, or other authorities of that period, such as the authorities of the Republic of Venice, the Venetian Captain of the Gulf and the Grand Master of Malta. The most numerous letters are the letters written by cardinals and other church dignitaries, state dignitaries, mainly from Italian cities, and letters written by diplomatic and consular representatives of the Republic sent to the authorities of the Republic. The subseries also contains letters from local authorities from the territory of the Dubrovnik Republic, various correspondence between merchants and other private persons and some documents related to judicial investigations.

In the correspondence of Bartolomeo Borgiani, a prominent Florentine merchant who lived in Dubrovnik, several letters of Jewish people living in the Ottoman territory and Venice can also be found. The names indicated in this correspondence are, for example, Leon de Medina and Joseph Lindo from Skopje and Jacob Tobi from Venice (e.g., vol. 467.1, no. 3). Among documents that are related to judicial investigations, there is one reference to Jews: in 1561, David Mazaod arbitrated in a conflict between Samuel Coen of Istanbul and a Dubrovnik ambassador Šimun Benessa (vol. 466, no. 18).
