Summary
Karl Kaser: List of Lika and Krbava in 1712
Family, land ownership, ethnicity in south-western Croatia
As early as 1984, the Austrian historian Karl Kaser, while working on his habilitation work on the social history of the Habsburg Military Border in Croatia (1535-1881), found in the Styrian Land Museum a bundle of documents under with the title "Conscriptio terrenorum et hominum beeder graffschafften Lica vnd Corbavia". After transcribing and translating two thousand hard-to-read pages by hand, Kaser obtained data on the population census of Lika and Krbava from 1712, which includes about 2,500 households. Having finished his work, which was also published in Croatian under the title "Free Peasant and Soldier", Kaser, at the urging of our historian Drago Roksandić, returned to this historical source and prepared it for publication so that it would be available to all who deal with the history of the Vojna Krajina. The foreword to this edition was written by Drago Roksandić.
