Abstract:
The paper presents a transcription of seven previously unpublished letters sent by the Venetian patrician and merchant Guglielmo Querini (1400–1468) to his business associate Ieronimo Malipiero in Bosnia between June 1443 and April 1447. The letters were already known to historians, primarily through the works of Gino Luzzatto, Desanka Kovačević-Kojić and Marko Šunjić, but were mostly treated only in passing, in line with the research interests of the authors at the time. In addition to the letters and a brief commentary on their content, this text will also present readers with the basic biographical information about Querini and his business ventures, both in Bosnia and beyond.
