Summary/Abstract: The article contains the edition of six documents on the relations between medieval Dubrovnik (Ragusa) and Bosnia with commentary. All the documents derive from the collection Miscellanea saeculi XV (Miscellany of the 15th century), which is one of the understudied collections of the State Archives in Dubrovnik. The first three documents are notarial documents concerning the debts of Bosnian merchants from Foča (Radič Milovčić) and Prača (brothers Ozrislav and Zub Kranisalјić) to two wealthy citizens of Dubrovnik – Miltinus de Priboe and Anthoe de Butcho, issued between 1400 and 1402. The fourth document is a testimony to an investigation conducted in July 1417 concerning the sale (and resale) of slaves and smuggling of salt between the Dubrovnik territory and Bosnia in the area of the Drijeva market place. The fifth document is an unpublished part of the investigative process against John Zrieva, son of Lampre, conducted in June 1419 because he had accepted a landed possession in Konavle (Canali), given to him by voivode Petar Pavlović, which included the village of Perkino Selo (Perchino Sello), along with the Nosanović family who lived in it. The sixth document is a testimony of the process (involving a jury) against two Vlachs of Grgur Vukosalić Nikolić and two Vlachs of Sandalj Hranić, who took a silver vessel (probably a platter) from Pribio Ostojić when they were visiting the settlement of Crna Gora in Pelješac Peninsula in 1434. These selected documents are a valuable source of data on economic and social history of medieval Bosnia and Dubrovnik, as well as on anthroponomy.
