Две ћирилске исправе Ивана VI (Анжа) Франкопана Омишанима
Two Cyrillic Charters of Ivan VI (Anž) Frankopan Issued to the Citizens of Omiš

Summary/Abstract: The article is a critical edition of two cyrillic charters from the National Archives of Hungary issued by count (knez) Ivan VI (Anž) Frankopan to the citizens of Omiš in 1436. The first, issued on March 14, represents the confirmation of old privileges, laws and rights of Omiš, while the other, issued on December 5, confirms that the citizens of the aforementioned town are not obliged to pay more than 15 pounds (libras) of tithe to the archibishop od Split. Both charters were part of the „Archives of Omiš“, which was transferred to the National Archives of Hungary as a part of the collection of the Hungarian National Museum. The first document was published only once and with many mistakes by Gusztáv Wenzel in 1879, whereas the second was never published before. The paper includes not only the diplomatic analysis, trancription and translation of the documents, but also a brief review of history of the privileges of Omiš and cyrillic literacy in late medieval Dalmatia and Croatia. A special section of the article is dedicated to the data from the analyzed charters that complement the knowledge about their author – Ivan VI Frankopan. The most important is the fact that he styled himself as the ban of Dalmatia and Croatia until the end of his life and that he was certainly alive until December 5, 1436.
