Civic settlements of the Vipava region and their particularities up to the end of the feudal age

Abstract

The contribution deals with historical civic settlements, that is with a town and two or three boroughs in the Vipava region, a bordering region between the provinces Gorizia and Carniola. Each of the treated settlements were marked by particularities for which a comparison can hardly be found even in a broader space; connecting them was primarily the fact that despite the title town or borough, they functioned as common village communities granted with some economic privileges.
