Geografsko-statistički opis Bosanskog pašaluka iz treće decenije 17. vijeka
Geographic statistical descriptions of the Bosnian Pashalik from the third decade of the 17th century

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with a work by Franjo Racki, which was published in Starine, vol. 14, Zagreb, 1882, pp. 173195. In this work Racki published a manuscript that was in the possession of the former Yugoslav Academy of Science and the Arts in Zagreb. The manuscript is in fact an account of the network of fortresses and settlements in Ottoman Bosnia, and has long since been identified as a Venetian source and regarded as a description of Ottoman Bosnia. On the basis of reports by Venetian officials in the Zadar and Split area, published by Hungarian historians Mircse Janos and Ovary Lipot, it has been ascertained that this account was produced by Ottoman officials in Bosnia who were acting as informers to the Venetians.
