ŠIBENČANI U MLETAČKIM PREKOJADRANSKIM KOPNENIM POSTROJBAMA (18. STOLJEĆE). (Croatian)

During Early Modern Age - primarily in the times of Venetian-Ottoman wars in the 17th and the 18th centuries, units named Fanti oltramarini and Croati a cavallo, which were to the most part recruited from Venetian estates from Istria to Albania and Greece, formed the axis of Venetian Cross-Adriatic military land units. The focus of research in this paper is the share of citizens of Šibenik in these units in the 18th century. The paper is based on the analysis of the material deposited at the Archivio di Stato di Venezia (collection: Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli) and including complete lists of military man force in regiments and companies referring to the researched period. The analysis of the documents shows that in figures, citizens of Šibenik formed one of the largest groups of officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of common origin in Venetian infantry and cavalry. They were continually present there throughout the 18th century, whilst many of them - such as descendants of distinguished Šibenik families - Divni?, Šižgori?, Zavorovi?, Semoni? and others - held the highest officer posts during their fruitful army careers: they had reached the rank of colonel. The analysis further shows that army commanders renowned at that time, who also originated from Dalmatia and Boka, led the military units formed of citizens of Šibenik. These units (companies and regiments) were very mobile and positioned across Venetian land and overseas estates. The author's conclusion is that the topic tackling the share of the Croats in Venetian military units - citizens of Šibenik in this particular case - still leaves enough room for future research and scientific analyses thanks to plentiful sources.

Središnja tema rada usmjerena je na raščlambu udjela vojnika iz Šibenika u mletačkim prekomorskim kopnenim postrojbama (pješaštvo i konjica) u 18. stoljeću. Rad se zasniva na raščlambi izvornoga arhivskog gradiva pohranjenog u Archivio di Stato di Venezia, a riječ je o popisima pripadnika pojedinih vojnih postrojbi koje je provodila nadležna državna magistratura Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli. Analizira se njihova brojnost tijekom 18. stoljeća, učestalost spominjanja u izvorima, iznose opći podatci o zapovjednicima postrojbi, razmatraju mjesta njihova djelovanja te ukazuje na neke opće značajke onovremenih vojnika (dob, statura i drugo). U prilogu rada donosi se cjelovit pregled šibenskih vojnika zabilježenih (prema dosadašnjim istraživanjima) u mletačkom pješaštvu i konjaništvu. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
