Abstract
The paper analyzes the fair privilege issued by the Aquileian patriarch Bertrand de Saint-Geniès to the commune of Buzet. It is argued that the charter had several mutually complimentary purposes that come to light only when contextualized within Bertrand’s overall political program. By comparing the document with similar market privileges issued by the patriarch throughout his turbulent reign, the author argues that the charter to Buzet had both economic and political implications. On the one hand, the privilege forms a part of the series of charters designed to bolster the volume of trade and the income from highway tolls throughout the Patriarchate, while at the same time fostering symbiotic ties between the central government and the subject community receiving the grant. Finally, the paper discusses the administrative structure of the Margraviate of Istria as revealed in the privilege and argues that Istrian possessions were not on the same constitutional level as Friulian ones within the jurisdictional framework of this ecclesiastical principality. The article concludes with a critical edition of the charter and its translation into modern English.
