Sažetak
The city of Požega and its surroundings experienced many changes after the Ottoman conquest in 1537 and the subsequent period of Ottoman rule. One of the most significant changes occurred with the erection of Muslim sacred buildings like mosques, masjids and derwish lodges. One of these sacred structures was the masjid in the village of Vidovci very close to the city of Pozega. This masjid has been mentioned in several publications but the question as to who founded it has not been resolved to date. On the basis of one Ottoman register (Mxt. 571) kept in the Austrian National Library in Vienna we are able to identify its founder. According to one remark of this register dated March 8th, 1573, the masjid of Vidovci was built by a certain Hüseyn-dede who lived in this village. We can assume that Hüseyn-dede was one of many derwishes who came and settled in the Ottoman border zone in Europe. The date of his death and the name of the derwish order to which Hüseyn-dede belonged still remain unknown.
