Đivo (Ivan) Šiškov Gundulić (also Giovanni di Sigismondo Gondola), (13 February 1678– 13 December 1721) son of Šišmundo (Šiško) Gundulić and Katarina Nale, was the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa between 1696-1700. Following his father and his grandfather, he also wrote poetry: Suze i tužbe Radmilove (1702), Radmio (1701), Oton (1707) and Filomena. He also composed diverse folklore songs, that have been preserved from generation to generation until today by the people of Dubrovnik.

Life

Đivo was accused of raping a young Sephardic Jew, Luna Židovka on 13 March 1699. Đivo Šiškov Gundulić was engaged at the time to Marija Bosdari and what happened after the raping young Luna Židovka (Protocol of the Conference that was held by the Council on Friday 13 March 1699). The Council found Gundulić guilty, all the Bosdari nobles were against him and wanted revenge. The sentence for Gundulić was expulsion from Dubrovnikan aristocracy, exile from the Republic, a ban on selling or to giving his estate, an increased punishment in the event of a repeated attack. The political confrontation between the aristocracy took place at the end of the 17th century, primarily between the Salamankezi and Sorbonezi Dubrovnikan patrician clans.

Nakon ranjavanja Ivana Šiškova Gundulića Vijece umoljenih donijelo je niz teskih osuda koje su zahvatile cijeli pridruzeni vlastelinski rod Božidarević: iskljucenje iz dubrovačkog plemstva, izgon iz domovine, zabrana prodaje i ustupanja nekretnina i posjeda i kazna za mozebitni ponovljeni napad. najtezi sukob medju dubrovackom vlastelom na kraju 17. stoljeca zrcali duboki rascjep izmedju Salamankeza i Sorboneza medju dubrovačkim plemićima.
