Abstract

The article describes the early thematic map of the Bosnia or Đakovo and Syrmia Diocese from the year 1826 (later in text Diocese of Đakovo and Syrmia). The map is a valuable historical document that elaborates more than just ecclesiastical contents. The diocese was partly situated in the area of today’s Republic of Croatia and Republic of Serbia. It is situated in the area surrounded by the rivers Sava, Drava and Danube which constitute the south, north and east borders of the diocese, whereas the west border roughly spreads from Slavonski Brod to Donji Miholjac. Possible map originals, as well as their authors, Demetrü Görög and Joannis Lipszky, are mentioned. The text contains the historical overview of development of the diocese. Ecclesiastical, secular and natural contents of the map are elaborated in detail. The legend is also translated and tabular views are given about different religions of the area.
