International Scientific Conference Urbar of the Pazin Principality in 1571. 21-2021 held on 13 and 14 October 2021 in the Great Hall of the State Archives in Pazin.
The programme was opened by Slaven Bertoša on the theme ‘The contribution of Danilo Klen to the study of Istrian urbars’, followed by Jakov Jelinčić on ‘Language features of the Pazin urbar in Italian’, followed by Sanja Šetić on ‘Urbar Pazinske knežije, kodeks iz 1571. i vodeni Means’, and the paper by Denis Visintin ‘La Contea di Pisinio nel XVI secolo: aspetti economici e sociali’. The break was followed by two presentations of a lengthy title, Daniela Juričić Čargo s ‘Urbari Pazinska county in the context of the reforms of the land estates in the Austrian hereditary countries from the end of the 15th to the first quarter of the 17th century’ and Ivan Milotić s ‘Legal nature and status of the urbaral texts for the Pazin principality created from 1498 to 1597’.
Željko Bartulović spoke about ‘Legal aspects of urbaral regulations (example of Rijeka, Vinodol and Čabra)’ and Ivona Orlić about ‘Urbar Pazinske knežije as a reminder of the traditional importance of forests in Istria’, primarily about carpentry products: processed and unprocessed. – For peasants, wood is the cheapest and most accessible material, so for peasants, wooden aids were used in all households, and in work. Almost every host was a woodworker, said Orlić, who presented a real wealth of wooden tools, tools and accessories that were used in the past in our region. This was followed by a presentation by Mojca Horvat “Šentpavelski urbarji v Provincial Archives Maribor”.
Perhaps the most original lecture was given by Radenko Sloković entitled ‘Deconstruction of Pazin in 1817, 1804, 1780 and 1770’. This is part of a research that started in the Pazin archives back in 1999. At the outset, he stated that by far the most numerous family in the parish of Pazin until 1820 was the one to which I belonged – the Slokovići. Then followed the Grabbits, Sirons, Dobrile and Mizzani. Mary and John were by far the most common personal names. In his research he reconstructed genealogies of all nobles and most public office holders (captains, vicars, chancellors, judges, deans, counter-hidden, administrators, notaries…) in the area of Pazin, and in the area of Pazin he researched family lines of about 200 to 250 families. The author has located almost every family (very often with origin!), including a person in each of the houses (objects) recorded by the French cadastre at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. It monitors the changes of residents in certain buildings, their family ties, or their public functions. In addition to the higher class, he finds these various occupations: masons, weavers, merchants, peasants, innkeepers, tailors, cashiers, tobacco dealers, goldsmiths, blacksmiths and even ‘well-doers’ and military surgeons. At one location near the Pazin Castle, lecturer Sloković believes that he managed to find the place of the former city lodge. – Pazin was much larger in 1770 than in 1820. The vast majority of the buildings that are today located between the Small Pound and Pound Square in Buraj existed before 1770, according to the exhibitor Sloković, noting that during the 18th century a significant influx of population was observed, mostly from Karnija and Kranjska. He also stated that "since 1762. (at the height of 1774. 1777), Pazin is home to a significant number of soldiers who lived in and around the barracks in Kaštela, in the barracks on the site of today’s Archives building, in the barracks near Prepozitura, but also in private houses’. – Unlike other places in Knežija, Pazin did not have a prefect, probably because a captain was sitting in Pazin, in whose hands the executive and judicial powers were held. He had, however, a dean (sometimes called a gaštald), who appeared to be elected from among the judges. In his hands were the keys to the storehouse of grain in Kaštela. This function was performed by Anton Gonan (1723 and 1724), Nikola Sloković (1739-1746), Franjo Bartol Kaligarić (1748-1769), Anton Sloković (1776) and Matija Orlić (1776-1784), concluded lecturer Sloković.
The gathering was closed by Marino Martinčević “Tents in the Pazin urbar in 1578” and Andreja Dragojević “Textile upholstery of the fraternity matrix of Sv. 16th century Barbara from the Diocese of Šibenik’, who sent the video.
The organizing committee of this international scientific conference included Mirela Mrak Kliman, Biserka Budicin, Maja Milovan, Sebastijan Legović and Elvis Orbanić.
