Lasso alla Scuola mia dei Schiavoni … Emigrants from Trogir in Venice and Croatian Confraternity of st George and Tryphon (15th – 18th Century)

U središtu istraživačkog zanimanja ovog rada jest prisutnost i djelovanje iseljenika iz Trogira u Mlecima, posebice s obzirom na njihovu uključenost u tamošnju hrvatsku nacionalnu bratovštinu sv. Jurja i Tripuna. Rad je zasnovan na istraživanju gradiva pohranjenog u Archivio di Stato di Venezia (fond: Notarile testamenti) i Archivio della Scuola Dalmata dei Santi Giorgio e Trifone (fondovi: Capitolar della Veneranda Scuola dei SS. Giorgio e Trifone della Nation Dalmata i Libri conti e spese). U radu se, uz osnovne podatke o prisutnosti Trogirana u Mlecima u širokom vremenskom rasponu od 15. do 18. stoljeća, raščlanjuju oporuke trogirskih iseljenika te konkretan udio te regionalne skupine hrvatskih iseljenika u nacionalnoj bratovštini. U tome dijelu rada osobita je pozornost posvećena kako onim Trogiranima koji su zabilježeni isključivo kao obični članovi bratovštine, ali i onima koji su – zahvaljujući svojem ugledu i priznatosti u hrvatskoj zajednici – obnašali dužnosti u pojedinim upravnim tijelima udruge. Naposljetku se zaključuje da su Trogirani, iako nisu u bratovštini sv. Jurja i Tripuna bili prisutni i djelatni kao Zadrani, Šibenčani, Splićani i Bokelji, činili jednu od nezaobilaznih sastavnica u sklopu proučavanja iseljavanja Hrvata u Mletke.This study is the result of several decades of research of the Croatian community in Venice, especially in the time when the eastern Adriatic coast was part of Serenissima (15th – 18th century). Author’s focus is put on activities and life of emigrants from Trogir in Venice, in particular apropos their relations with the Croatian confraternity of St George and Tryphon (Scuola di Schiavoni, Scuola dei Santi Giorgo e Trifone, Scuola Dalmata). The research is based on the analysis of the preserved documents presently kept in the Venetian archives (Archivio di Stato di Venezia) within archival fond Notarile testamenti and in the Archives of the Confraternity of St George and Tryphon (Archivio della Scuola Dalmata dei Santi Giogio e Trifone) within archival fonds Capitolar della Veneranda Scuola dei SS. Giorgio e Trifone della Nation Delmata and Libri conti e spese. Besides general information about activities of people from Trogir in Venice, the author analyzes the last wills of emigrants from Trogir (bequests to the Confraternity, choice of the place of burial, bequests for pilgrimages to the ecclesiastical see of the Confraternity, etc) in a long-time span from the fifteenth until the eighteenth century, as well as the percentage of this regional group within the total number of members of the Confraternity. Special attention and emphasis are put on people who performed various governing duties within the Confraternity. Finally, the author concludes that emigrants from Trogir were an unavoidable part of the Croatian community in Venice, though were not numerous as immigrants from Zadar, Šibenik, Split, and Boka
