Travelling disguised through Slavonia in 1626 (The journey of the Dalmatian humanist Athanasio Georgiceo – new manuscript and new interpretation)
István György Tóth
Sažetak
In this short contribution I have analyzed and partly republished an important document concerning the history of seventeenth century Turkish Hungary, Slavonia, and Bosnia. It is the notebook entitled ‘Relatione data all’imperatore dal signor Athanasio Georgiceo del viaggio fatto in Bosna l’anno 1626’ (The report of Athanasio Georgiceo to the Emperor on a journey made in Bosnia in 1626), found in the volume “Scritture riferite nei Congressi, Dalmazia Miscellanea, Volumen 3”, of the archives of the Holy Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith in Rome. This travelogue, the report of Athanasio Georgiceo (Atanazije Jurjević), an imperial interperter and diplomat as well as a religious writer, was published already in the nineteenth century by the Croatian historian of Bosnia and the Bosnian Franciscans, Mijo Vjenceslav Batinić. However, as it was general in the nineteenth century source editions, this edition did not even try to identify the names of persons and the geographical names mentioned in this source, and in his edition most of the names were even given in a too deformed form to be identified. The report comprises three parts. The first part concerns the picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary which can be found in the Bosnian town of Olovo, retailing the history and miraculous qualities of this religious icon. The second part gives a description of the province of Bosnia and the larger towns which can be found there. The third part is a detailed description of Turkish-occupied Hungary, a diary of Georgiceo’s week long journey from Buda through southern Hungary and Slavonia to the Bosnian town of Banja Luka. This part is where the earlier edition was especially distorted, therefore I publish this third part of the relation with the forms of names and places I consider correct, and with their present-day identification. In the introduction to the edition, the contents of this text is analyzed on the basis of historical, literary and archeological sources.
