Abstract

This paper is grounded in the investigation of the correlation between famine and indications of the Little Ice Age in the Bosnian Eyalet from the 17th to the early 19th century. Through the analysis of available sources on famine and scholarly literature, the emphasis is placed on understanding the natural causes of famine during this period, particularly the role of the Little Ice Age, and how these factors shaped the living conditions of the local population. This certainly involves assessing vulnerability to famine, contextualizing the social and economic aspects of famine, and analyzing representations of famine and anthropological aspects of starvation. Through an analytical approach, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of historical circumstances and their impact on life in the Bosnian Eyalet, highlighting the complex interaction of natural, social, and economic factors that shaped the destiny of the community in the historical-environmental context of the Little Ice Age.
