Bosnian History and Austro-Hungarian policy: some Medieval Belts, the Bogomil Romance and the King Tvrtko Graves
Marian Wenzel
Abstract
The author exposes the way in which a false view of the cultural history of Bosnia and Herzegovina, projected for political reasons by Austria-Hungary in the early years of its occupation of the province, can still have repercussions in the work of present-day scholars of European art-history, who have no reason to suspect its operation. An instance is given in which a number of falsified archeological results from early in the century have been taken at face value by later scholars and have resulted in the misdating by half a century or more of an important group of silver-gilt belts. The group is re-dated on the basis of more reliable evidence.
