| Summary: | This study presents the origin, business and testament of Antunin Bratoslav Predojević from Dubrovnik, who spent most of his life, from the end of 14th century until his death in 1427, in the medieval Serbian state, on the area of Kosovo and Metohija, in Novo Brdo and Priština, where he wrote his testament. If one compares the time of Bratoslav Predojević's death and the time of his father Ilija's marriage, one can conclude that Bratoslav died quite a young man. The manner in which he ended his life remains unknown. It passed almost seven years from the drafting of the testament to its publication. Bratoslav Predojevic conducted business with many merchants from Dubrovnik and abroad, as well as with the merchants from the Serbian states. He exported silver and other goods to Dubrovnik, and he imported Italian cloth, glass, oil and other products from Dubrovnik into Serbia, and therefore, he was one of the links in a chain which connected many markets, and the medieval Serbian state with the Mediterranean. |
