- In spite of several attempts, Dubrovnik (Ragusa) did not have a print shop of its own until the end of the 18th century. Nevertheless, the lack of print shop at home did not pre-vent Ragusans from printing many of their works in different European cities. The earliest printers in Dubrovnik appeared only at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. The fact that they were foreigners proves the European nucleus in Dubrovnik and its links to Europe. The Venetian Carlo Antonio Occhi founded the first print shop in Dubrovnik in 1783. With his plan to expand the booksellers’ market to all parts of Croatia, he announced the spirit of Croatian pre-National Revival, but too early. Soon he went bankrupt and his typographer, Andrea Trevisan, took over his business. Publishing policy to print old and new Ragusan authors in Croatian language (founded but not accomplished by the first printer, Carlo Antonio Occhi), did unfortunately not meet with much success throughout the period of the Dubrovnik Republic. It had finally been partly achieved by Antonio Martecchini and partly by his son Peter, but only after the fall of the Republic. The article contains the inventory of the books printed in the first three Ragusan print shops, thus connecting two, or rather, three political periods of Dubrovnik: the period of autonomy during the Republic of Dubrovnik and the period of occupation, first of French and then of Austrian administration that followed after the fall of the Republic. The aim of this work is to reveal the publishing policy of the earlier Ragusan printers and publishers but also to reveal the social and historical conditions of book production on the Croatian territories during the time of pre-National Revival. The printing activity is viewed in the context of the cultural, social, and political life in Dubrovnik.
