Rezumat: Vlahii/  Morlacii în hinterlandul oraşelor Traù (Trogir )  şi Sebenico (Šibenik ), din Dalmaţia veneţiană , în secolul al XVI-lea. Pe temeiul unor noi izvoare venetiene din secolul al XVI-lea, este urmarita patrunderea Vlahilor/Morlacilor în zona costiera a Dalmatiei centrale, aflata sub controlul Venetiei, în arealul oraselor Traù (Trogir) si Sebenico (Šibenik). Daca în ceea ce priveste hinterlandul celei dintâi localitati, pastorii Vlahi/Morlaci s-au asezat aici statornic, întemeind catune si dând astfel nastere unor dispute teritoriale veneto-otomane asupra frontierei terestre a Serenissimei cu Poarta, în arealul orasului Sebenico (Šibenik) ei au patruns doar sezonier, pentru iernatul turmelor sau spre a exploata pasunile localnicilor. Este subliniat faptul ca statornicirea Vlahilor/Morlacilor în teritoriul din aceasta fâsie de pe coasta Dalmatiei centrale a fost rezultatul unui proces initial de transfer sezonier de populatie, determinat de specificitatea pastoritului transhumant, care în timp a dus la migrarea, din interiorul Peninsulei Balcanice catre vecinatatea litoralului adriatic, a unor grupuri din rândul acestei populatii romanice, ca cele care aveau sa întemeieze asezarile rurale asupra carora si-au disputat apoi controlul autoritatile locale venetiene si otomane. The migration of several groups of Vlachs/Morlaks from inside the Balkan Peninsula towards the Dalmatian coast was determined by the  phenomenon of transhumance, which was main occupation of this Romanic  population. In it, sheep were bred in open areas, in the pastures of the high mountain ranges of the Balkan region. Transhumant sheep breeding imposed seasonal rhythmic cycles on the movement of flocks. Thus, as a result of their search for areas with a milder climate to settle down for the winter, the Vlach/Morlak shepherds begin arrived on the coasts of central Dalmatia in the 14 th century, where their presence was frequently reported in contemporary sources. In this coastal region they found pastures all along the winter, so that many decided to settle in the hinterland of urban centres under Venetian Please purchase PDFcamp Printer on http://www.verypdf.com/ to remove this watermark.
