%X SaŁżetak The paper analyses two oaths and an instruction, legal documents on which the authority of Venetian rector ruling mediaeval Dubrovnik rested. The text of rectorĄŻs oath to the doge, so far not tackled in Croatian historiography, has been analysed in detail and published. The text is a rich source of information on Venetian rule in Dubrovnik in the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century. The paper tackles links among the subject documents, and their importance for the legal system in Dubrovnik. It further questions their connection to the then popular literature on good government
