Summary
Fazileta Hafizović: List of villages and lands of the sandjaks of Krka, Klis and Herzegovina, separated from the Republic of Venice in 1701
The list of areas that the Republic of Venice returned to the Ottoman Empire in 1701 represents a treasure trove of hitherto unknown or little-used information about life in the area on both sides of the border from Tromeđa above Knin to the eastern Herzegovinian hinterland of Dubrovnik. Assuming future minor repairs, a high-quality translation and commentary of that source will serve the work of a number of researchers in the fields of humanities and social sciences, as well as natural sciences (geography). The author is a renowned historian from the Oriental Institute in Sarajevo, who has proven herself to be a first-class researcher, decipherer and translator of an impressive series of archival documents.
