Summary/Abstract: This manuscript represents, as far as content and intention are concerned, a travel chron.icle rather than a historical one from the contemporary point of view. It is undoubtedly an authentic document from a troublesome time which was a turning point in the history of Bosnia. Its author, Ahmed Haldžinesimović from Prusac, described in minute detail the battle between Austria and the Ottoman Empire as well as the war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. Due to the fact that the author witnessed and even participated in the events, his descriptions should be considered authentic. Although it sometimes seems that the text is buridened by too many details, on second reading we become aware that we would have missed a lot if such a chronicler as Ahmed Hadžinesimović had not written his works.
