Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this monograph was a multiperspective look at the fate of the Serb population in a time, when patriarch Arsenije IV Jovanović Šakabenta (1726–1748) was its undisputed leader. It was a crucial moment in the history of the Serbs, due to the shift of focus in their spiritual and political life from Peć to Karlovci. For the Serbian community, who did not have its statehood then, it was undoubtedly a particularly significant event. The problems of the Serbs in the first half of the 18th century have been presented against the background of crucial events of the general history of the period. These include, among others, “the Tulip Period” in the Ottoman Empire (1718–1730), the Austrian-Turkish war (1737–1739) and the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748). The monograph is based on the lesser known sources which were collected during archival and library research in Serbia, Austria, Croatia and Russia.
