About the book
Bosnia was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1463, and with it the Franciscan monastery of the Holy Spirit of Fojnica, founded in the 14th century. Because of its eventful history, the monastery archive offers very special treasures such as the caftan of a sultan and over 3000 original documents in Turkish. The Ottomanist Michael Ursinus has contributed to raising the profile of these treasures. In his publication the documents from the Franciscan monastery of Fojnica are systematically transcribed, translated and described. This is a very valuable source providing insight into the position of Catholics and Christians in general in the Ottoman Empire. This is a source that will allow historians to review some earlier claims and bring some new conclusions about the Christianity and the position of Christian communities in the Ottoman Empire.
