COBISS.SI-ID: 247406336The contribution defines the image of the late medieval Koper elite by means of scarce sources and compares it with the elites of comparable towns. The Koper elite is to be treated as an influential regional operator, which with regard to social predispositions surpassed the Piran elite and was similar to the Zadar elite. Slovene historiography is well acquainted with the Piran elite, which served as a basis for the creation of the pattern for dealing with north Istrian communes, however, the latter is not thoroughly applicable for the Koper elite.
