Summary/Abstract: The goal of the paper Codex Corbaviensis is to prompt reflections and eventually the creation of a regional (so-called thematical) register of diplomatic and related records on the medieval Krbava County. Why exactly this historical period? The answer is quite simple - in the Middle Ages Krbava formed a separate county in Croatia that had a considerably wider geographical and cultural reach than the present one. For three centuries it was the seat of the Bishopric of Krbava and the largest ecclesiastical center in the areas beyond the mountain of Velebit. It was also the seat of the Counts of Krbava from the house of the Kurjakovići which ranked as one of the most powerful as well as the most important magnates in Croatia during the Middle Ages. The Diocese of Krbava and the Counts of Krbava constitute, therefore, a valid reason to consider the composition of a register of diplomatic and related materials that may be given the name Codex Corbaviensis.
