Summary/Abstract: The research of the toponymy of Liburnia has so far been sporadic and unsystematic. It mostly included short overviews of part of the toponymy or about comments on individual (groups of) toponyms from the areas of Brseština, Mošćeniština, and Lovranština. In the past ten years, the systematic analysis of the contemporary toponymy of Lovran, including a part of its historical toponymy, has begun. So far, the toponymy of the cadastral municipality of Tuliševica, the coastal toponymy of Lovran, and the toponymy in wills from Lovran dated in the second half of the 18th century have been analysed. This paper will present the results of the research on toponymic material in the oldest Croatian legal monuments from the area of Liburnia, which has been partially and unsystematically included in previous research as well. It includes the material excerpted from the sources Kvaderna kapitula lovranskoga, Veprinački zakon (1507), Zakona kaštela Mošćenic (1637), and other private legal documents from the areas of Lovran, Veprinac, Mošćenice and Brseč dated between the beginning of the 15th and the end of the 17th century. The research contributes to the completion of the picture of the oldest historical toponymy from the area of Liburnia.
