THE BORDERS OF THE ŽUPA AND NAHIYE OF RAS IN THE MIDDLE AGES AND EARLY MODERN PERIOD (14–16TH CENTURIES)

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to determine the area of the Ras district at the time of the Nemanjićs, local magnate Vuk Branković and the Ottoman Turks. The medieval settlements of the Ras district, mainly those belonging to the Banjska monastery or in their vicinity, are already known to historiography. This paper, however, offers some new solutions of ubication. Based on Ottoman defters from the 15th and 16th centuries, the borders of the vilayet, i.e. nahyie of Ras which correspond to the situation in the field from the first half of the 15th century have been determined. The area of the Ras nahiye had around 100 villages at the time.
