Prilozi poznavanju nekih aspekata ekohistorije šireg područja oko Garića u 17. stoljeću
Tributes to the Research on Several Eco-Historical Aspects of the Wider Area Surrounding Garić in the 17Th Century

Summary/Abstract: The paper portrays the interrelation between people and the environment on the example of the wider area surrounding Garić and focusing on the 17th century. Apart from the ecohistorical aspects, the paper follows the changes in the organisation of the area in the northern part of Moslavačka gora, in the Varaždin District (wider area surrounding Garić), which, in the 17th century, was the borderline region along the imperial Hapsburg-Ottoman border. The author established that in the 17th century, Moslavačka gora was commonly called Garjevica (the present name of the forest surrounding Garić). For instance, in 1639, it was called Mons Garabiz; in 1657, Grabaiza Gebürg; in 1673, Garievitza M., and it was only in Cantelli’s map of 1690 that two names occurred: Gariewitza M. and Claudius M. At the end of the 17th century, Valvasor again mentioned only the name Garievitza Mons. The localities east of Ivanić (or rather Sv. Križ) in the direction toward Ilova river (in the period between the mid 16th century and the first couple of decades of the 17th century) may be referred to as “no man’s land”. It is an interesting fact that during the 17th century, on “no man’s land”, new villages were gradually formed on the Hapsburg side, and maybe even along the border to the Ottoman Empire. Catholic population in the Moslavina region tended to immigrate directly along the border to the Ottoman Empire, same as in other parts of the Varaždin District.
