Град очима другог: Крушевац у страним путописима и белешкама XV‒XIX века
City through the Other’s eyes: Kruševac in foreign travel accounts and notes XV‒XIX centuries

Summary/Abstract: Travel accounts and notes about Serbia, which were left behind by the foreigners who visited it from XV to XIX centuries, represent today a precious source of data for researchers of the past of this area. These testimonies are equally, although not in the same way, important to anthropologists, despite the fact that they derive their knowledge only out of synchronous research, by the observation with participating or through interviews with representatives of a certain culture. So here we will try, on the example of travel notes about Kruševac, to show their actual contribution to the history of this city, on the one side, and to underline the convergence of anthropology and historiography through travel accounts in general, as a common source of information for those two scientific disciplines, on the other.
