Faust Vrančić’s testament from the legacy of the noble Dragičić-Vrančić family in the State Archive of Rijeka / Iva Kurelac

“The unpublished testament of the famous humanist and church prelate Faust Vrančić coming from Šibenik was made on June 12, 1615 and donated to the State Archive of Rijeka as a part of the legacy of the noble Draganić-Vrančić family (1552 – 1971). Based on the content and paleographic analysis of the testament, the paper tries to resolve the issue of authorship and authenticity of this document, bringing its first complete transcription in Latin, adapted to modern usages, accompanied with a detailed analysis of the entire testament according to the categories of testament legates and the recipients thereof. The research also includes a critique of the past historiographic insights into the testament and the codicil of Faust Vrančić presented during the 19th and early 20th century.”
