Jew Women in Republic od Dubrovnik and Gracia Mendes

U radu se donosi prikaz položaja Židovki, pripadnica jedne od marginalnih skupina ondašnjeg vremena u Dubrovačkoj Republici. Tema završnog rada obuhvaća ne samo položaj Židovki nego i odnos dubrovačkog građanstva i plemstva prema strancima. Naime, Dubrovčani su tijekom povijesti razvili određenu netolerantnost prema drugim vjeroispovijestima, međutim prema Židovima je postojao drukčiji odnos zbog koristi koju su Dubrovčani imali od njih (posebice se ističe trgovina, zlatarstvo…). O Židovima u Dubrovniku pisano je puno i sačuvan je značajan broj vrela u Dubrovačkom državnom arhivu, dok o Židovkama postoji znatno manje izvora te je samim tim o njima i manje pisano. Drugi dio rada odnosi se na Graciju Mendes, portugalsku „prikrivenu“ Židovku koja je na svom, može se reći životnom putu, boravila u Dubrovniku i iza sebe ostavila važna vrela za proučavanje položaja žena u srednjem vijeku. Na njenom primjeru prikazat će se kako je jedna Židovka za vrijeme inkvizicije prkosila tadašnjim uzancama te koja je njena važnost za Dubrovnik.In my final work I will show the position of the Jewish woman, one of the marginal group of former times, in the Republic of Dubrovnik. The theme of the final work includes, not only the position of the Jewish woman, but also the relationship of the Dubrovnik nobility and citizens towards strangers. Dubrovnik, during its history have developed intolerance towards other religions, however, for the Jews they had ifferent approach because of the benefits that the citizens of Dubrovnik had of them (particularly trade, goldsmithry...). About the Jews in Dubrovnik is written a lot,, there are lots of sources at the Dubrovnik State Archive while about Jewish woman there is a lot less sources and is therefore less about is written. The second part of the final work refers to the Gracie Mendes, Portuguese "covert" Jewish woman who is on her life path stayed for awhile in Dubrovnik and left a very important sources for the study of the position of women in the middle ages. At her example, I will show how a woman, Jew beated the standards and rules of the middle ages and became very successfull
