Sažetak
During the period in which Alexander Mavrocordatos acted as grand dragoman and secret adviser to the Porte (1673-1709), the Ragusans were experiencing the most difficult and most challenging moments in their relations with the Ottomans. Given that as an intermediary, interpreter, negotiator and adviser he acted in the shadow, his significance for the Republic of Ragusa has not yet been clearly articulated. It was not until the archival research conducted for the purpose of this study, focused entirely on Mavrocordatos’s activities, that the important and, in certain moments, crucial role of this exceptional diplomat in the history of the Ragusan-Ottoman relations has been reconstructed.
