Account Books of the Caboga (Kabui) Brothers 14261433 (Squaro Reminder, Diaryand Ledger) from the Historical Archive of Dubrovnik provide new

evidence about the high degree of treatment and composition of precious metals from theSerbian medieval mines. First of all, that the residue, after the purification of unprocessedinto fine silver, was copper. Even the price of this process is listed. In the Squaro, intwo items in a receipt from 1430, there is previously unknown data about auriferoussilver (argento di glama), the composition of which, besides gold, also included copper,and the precisely determined shares of these metals per litre. Apart from the AccountBooks of the Caboga (Kabui) Brothers, other written sources and hitherto geologicalexplorations have provided no clues regarding the presence of copper in the auriferoussilver mines.

Keywords: silver, fine silver, auriferous silver, gold, copper,Account Books of theCaboga (Kabui) Brothers, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Venice, Serbian mines.

ABOUT THE COMPOSITION AND PROCESSING OF PRECIOUSMETALS FROM THE SERBIAN MEDIEVAL MINES

The Account Books of the Caboga (Kabui) Brothers 14261433 (Squaro Reminder, Diary and Ledger) from the Historical Archive of Dubrovnik providenew evidence about the high degree of treatment and the composition of preciousmetals from the Serbian medieval mines. The process of purification of unprocessed

intofi

ne silver was also applied in Serbia at an early date. Obtained in this way,fine silver (argentofino) became an important article in commerce and was the onlymaterial that could be used for producing money. It is evident from several receiptsregistered in the Account Books of the Caboga (Kabui) Brothersthat the residue,after the transformation of unpurified into fine silver, was copper. Even the cost of thisprocedure is listed in the document (approximately one ducat).

The Squaroalso contains previously unknown data about the composition ofauriferous silver (argento di glama). Registered in the same receipt from 1430, in twoitems, is the auriferous silver which, besides gold, also contained copper, coupled withthe fact that the percentage of copper is precisely stated, as well as the percentage of

gold, per litre. Along with each shipment, theAccount Books of the Caboga (Kabui)Brothersalso contain data about the cost of separating the gold from the silver, i.e.perpartidura(10 groats).

Apart from theAccount Books of the Caboga (Kabui) Brothers, other writtensources and the geological explorations performed so far provided no clue as to thepresence of copper in the mines with the auriferous silver.
