Abstract
This article is a preliminary report on the analysis of the Ottoman sources about the campaign in Dalmatia and the siege of Sinj in 1715 in particular. At the present moment it seems that these sources confirm the assumption that the Ottoman forces in Dalmatia had a size of only a half of the number claimed by some Venetian intelligence reports, while only a quarter of the supposed total had been directly engaged in the siege.
