Abstract
Based on sources and literature the authoresses analysed the description (Relation) of the Slavonian Border from July 1578. They reconstructed and explained various procedures, measures and decrees mentioned in the relation, and provided information on persons cited in it. The relation was composed by the committee consisting of three Inner-Austrian high commissioners. In July 1578, they traversed the Slavonian Border in order to announce newly agreed organisation of the Military Border, to make public new orders and hierarchies, to examine and conscript the army and inspect the condition of fortresses and defence system on the Slavonian Border. Writing of the relation was the final stage of their work. Following the article, the authoresses provided the critical transcription of the relation and its translation from German into Croatian.
