Abstract
<jats:p>The term fragnerin, which is related to the verb frangariti, is mentioned in local sources only within three articles in the Extract from the Statute of Novi Brdo, preserved only in the Cyrillic copy of the Mining Code of Despot Stefan. In literature, it is interpreted as a Germanism, which corresponds to the terms of a female grocer, female reseller, i.e. grocer, resell, with the explanation that it is a person who sells or resells his or her own goods of a wide range, and that the same can also operate as a female baker. It is mostly cited when listing occupations, interpreting restrictions regarding women’s occupations, the status and rights of widows, including the penalty of public exposure of shame, but without a detailed explanation. However, so far no attempt has been made to analyse in more detail this occupation and the relating data in the Extract, nor to examine it in the context of the wider legislation of the medieval European area. The analysis of these three articles is the basis of this paper.</jats:p>
