Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the oldest surviving volume of Trogir’s council proceedings, which Ivan Lučić Lucius dated in 1316 and 1317. Having compared the contents of the volume with other sources, Lucius’s notes, and his Memorie istoriche di Tragurio, the authors argue that the given volume dates from 1314 and 1315, and that its contents end shortly before the destruction of Trogir’s Franciscan monastery and the arrival of Ban Mladen II with his army in May 1315. In line with this new chronology, the authors have also considered the political developments in Trogir and its surroundings during the second decade of the 14th century.
