Apprenticeship Contracts in Late Medieval Šibenik: A Diplomatic Analysis

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to provide a diplomatic analysis of late medieval apprenticeship contracts in Šibenik. It is based on the analysis of one hundred relevant documents dating from the mid-1430s to the late 1480s, preserved in the records of fifteen Šibenik notaries from that period. In addition to analysing their structure and legal language commonly found in this type of documents, the extensive number of analysed samples allows for determining the level of uniformity in these contracts and identifying the elements in which they differed based on the time of their writing and the practices of individual notaries. While the content analysis extends beyond the scope of the topic, the author also discusses the age and origin of the apprentices, as well as the duration of their service, presenting the results of the statistical analysis.
