Text of Note

In 1463 the Kingdom of Bosnia ceased to exist as an independent entity, and most of its territories were annexed to the Ottoman Empire as the district of Bosnia. With this annexation started a long and multi-faceted process of the integration of Bosnia and its population into the Ottoman system. This dissertation explores the main aspects of this process by looking at the first century of Ottoman rule in Bosnia, from the conquest in 1463 until it was established as an Ottoman province in 1580. It identifies four features of early Ottoman rule in Bosnia that can be seen as central in the successful Ottomanization of Bosnian society: the development of an Ottoman-Bosnian military-administrative elite, the emergence of a learned local Muslim elite, facilitation of urbanization and urban development and the use of the judge as the main representative of the central government in the province. These four features are closely linked. The rapid integration of Bosnians into the Ottoman military and administrative system played a decisive role in the development of the local learned elite. High ranking Ottoman officials of Bosnian origins were well placed to facilitate the entrance of Bosnian scholars into the imperial religious, educational and scholarly circles. The emergence of an Ottoman-Bosnian elite was also responsible for the special balance of powers that was created within the province, and in which the judge operated as a lone "outsider" to the local ruling cliques. Finally, these Ottoman-Bosnians played a central role in the development of urban centres, mainly by means of using their wealth and influence as high ranking Ottomans to fund and build public infrastructure in their native Bosnia.
