Dolazak austro-ugarske vojske u Fojnicu 1878. godine
Arrival of the Austro-Hungarian army in Fojnica in 1878 - Excerpt from the Diary of Fr. Mark Kalamut

Summary/Abstract: The written legacy of Fr. Marko Kalamut, or its later offi cial title given by Fr. Leonard Čuturić „The Diary of Fr. Marko Kalamut, 1865-1875. Part I“ and „The Diary of Fr. Marko Kalamut 1875-1887, Part II“, was classifi ed as Chronologica category in the archives of the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Fojnica. Marko Kalamut’s chronology, written on 1310 pages (20.5x29.5), is signifi cant not only because of ist historical facts, but also for the language and style in which it was written. More serious study of this manuscript would include, besides historians, linguists and, of course, meteorologists. Conclusion based on this manuscript is that Fr. Marko Kalamut was a highly educated Franciscan, who in addition to Croatian and Latin also knew Turkish, Italian and German. In this paper, we have extracted an interesting passage from Kalamut’s accounts of the events in Fojnica during the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, without the intention of presenting Kalamut’s records as the only complete and accurate sources of events in Fojnica during that deciding period of BiH history.
