THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN JELAČIĆ AND HIS COUNCIL FROM 1848 TO 1850 AS A HISTORICAL SOURCE

Tomislav Markus ; Croatian Institute of History, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

In this article, the author analyzes the correspondence between the Croatian Ban (Governor) Josip Jelačić and his council from September 1848 to June 1850, the date when the Council was disbanded. The correspondence is important as a historical source, especially during the revolutionary period in the Habsburg Monarchy, from the summer of 1848 to fall 1849. During this period, the Ban's Council acted de facto as the government of an independent Croatia. This correspondence is not only important for the political history of Croatia, but for its military, economic, cultural, and religious history as well.
