Sažetak
The author analyzes the writings of chroniclers from Bosnia Argentina about Hungary and topics related to it in the eighteenth century. The research focus is on the Franciscan chronicles written by Nikola Lašvanin, Marijan Bogdanović, and Bono Benić snr. Moreover, the author also discusses the work of some other chroniclers like Filip Lastrić, Mate Kristićević, and Jakov Baltić, who were inspired by the work of the above-mentioned Franciscan writers. Historical ties between Hungary and Bosnia have deep and complex roots already from the Middle Ages, but historiography has discussed mainly political and to some extent ecclesiastical, relations that had been investigated chiefly through a history of conflicts and antagonistic viewpoints. The reflection of such viewpoints can also be followed in the doctoral dissertation of Ivo Andrić, whose discourse and methodological approach were quite close to the way he described the Turks in his literary work, which is still a kind of polemic today. The analysis of the Franciscan authors has revealed the interconnections and context in which they have been writing. The author's goal was to reveal the main focus and contribution of each of them. Regarding medieval relations between Hungary and Bosnia, all of them wrote exclusively in the context of the Ottoman conquest of the Bosnian medieval kingdom in 1463. On the other hand, when writing about the later periods, all chroniclers mainly talk about the relations within the Franciscan Province of Bosnia Argentina, which until 1757 encompassed a vast territory, including some parts of Hungary. The division of the Province in 1757 caused many tensions among the Franciscans, especially on the Bosnian side, because some chroniclers were active participants in those events, and did not want such a division to happen. Finally, the nineteenth century saw a shift in literary focus from ecclesiastical to national issues, and Hungary was often mentioned in a negative context. However, a detailed investigation of the latter will be the author’s next research step.
