Iz historije odgoja i obrazovanja u Dubrovniku i dubrovačkom zaleđu (Učenje dobrih običaja, manira i pismenosti) / From the History of Upbringing and Education in Dubrovnik and its Hinterland (The Acquiring of Good Customs, Manners and Literacy)

Abstract

Apart from the royal and noble courts, Franciscan or Orthodox monasteries, houses of the members of the Bosnian church and the larger town settlements, the elements of upbringing and education in the hinterland of Dubrovnik also arrived through young people who came to Dubrovnik as servants or apprentices who later returned to their homes after finishing their education. Through contracts the tutors guaranteed the servants and apprentices food and shelter, clothes, health care, craft education and financial compensation for their work, and sometimes even specific conditions by which they obliged to teach their servants and apprentices good manners and behaviour, but also to teach them to read and write even though this was not the main clause of the contract.
